    I am not seeing any stains but I will ask next time I'm there. I am about an hour away from the pool store. Should I turn out some water to get cya down?

    Phosphate remover isn't the only reason I have lost trust in chemical salesman. I was spending way to much money on what I felt was snake oil but I did not know better. It has been very stressful not knowing what to do.
