Any opinions on Natual Chemistry products as a monthly main. program? Such as from the start with the Foundation base, the phosphate and organic reducing liquid and the multi-mineral w/salt for SWG care and maintenance.

Welcome to TFP!!!My only thought is that just about everything you mentioned is not needed for any reason and thus a waste of money. Why put chemicals in the pool that are not needed and why pay more for the same chemicals that you can get from a hardware or grocery store just because they slap a fancy name on them?

Do you need a phosphate test to check for algae or potential algae problems? Or will it show in other tests?
Opinions? Sure.
I've never put any of the above in my pool and it has remained clear and swimmable (although too cold to do so at times) 365 days a year for the last 4 years. No algae blooms at all.

Phosphate levels are meaningless and just a way for pool stores to sell you over-priced magic potions 
They are food for algae. But, if you maintain adequate FC levels (which are a function of your CYA), then the algae can not live in the first place, so who cares how much food there is?
