Let's talk about phosphates, and why you should remove them from your water. Phosphates cannot be oxidized by chlorine, and they accumulate over time. Phosphates get into our pools via the tap water, sequestering agents, and nature. They accumulate over time. Remove phosphates and keep your level below 500 parts per billion (ppb).
00:00 - Intro
01:21 - Why do we need to remove phosphates? Do they really matter?
03:59 - What do phosphate test kits actually measure?
04:40 - What are phosphates? And what variations of phosphates are there?
06:25 - Why are there phosphates in our drinking water?
09:34 - Environment and bathers
11:03 - Most metal sequestering agents are phosphate-based
14:32 - Time your phosphate removal treatments appropriately
15:59 - You don't need a lot of phosphate remover. Or you could just throw a lot more chlorine at the problem if you ignore them.
16:18 - Growth/reproduction rate vs. killing rate of sanitizer(s)
16:46 - Phosphates will be within algae's cell walls. You may test low, but phosphates are present if you see algae.
19:09 - Thank you for listening!
