PHOSPHATES

WHERE DO THE PHOSPHATES COME FROM IN MY POOL?

Metal removers

Your city water

Fertilizer

WHAT ARE THE SIGN’S OF PHOSPHATES IN MY POOL

You are unable to raise the copper level in your pool

I am always ionizing

Pool is always cloudy

Getting frequent bouts of algae

HOW DO I REMOVE THE PHOSPHATES IN MY POOL?

1)With phosphate levels of 1000 or less use Phos-Free from Natural Chemistry

Follow directions and make sure to backwash Filter after 48 hours of ion with the Phos-Free

2) With Phosphate levels over 1000 use Aluminum Sulfate

Start by raising the ph to 7.4, and over filling the pool (Vacuuming to waste will use a lot of water) then put the filter valve to Recirculate (this bypasses the filter) and add 5# of Aluminum Sulfate per 10,000 Gal’s let the water in the pool turn over for 4 hours and then shut every thing off for 24 to 36 hours.

The phosphates as well as other suspended items will drop to the bottom of the pool.

Next set the filter valve on Waste (this bypasses the filter and sends the water right out the back wash line)

Vacuum the pool in the waste position until the bottom is clear.

Then back wash the filter to clear any phosphates in it, Rinse next.

Put valve back to filter and adjust the ph to 6.8

If you have a push pull valve or a bag filter you will need a separate vacuum pump to perform this.

That will require the pump set up on the deck with one end of a vac hose to the suction and one end to the vac head and a backwash hose to the outlet, when recirculating put the backwash hose in the pool for 4 hours, then when vacuuming the pool put the backwash out on the lawn or out in the street.

When finished lower ph to 6.8
