I opened the pool this year with no issues. Went to the pool store on Memorial Day and my phosphate reading was 1100. I accidentally put too much phosphate remover in the pool. This morning I opened my filter and found what looks like white mold that has grown on the filter I found it on the skimmer basket as well. Went to the pool store and they told me it was a byproduct of the phosphate remover that I put in. My phosphate went from 1100 to 550. Wanted to know your opinion on what this is.

Welcome to TFP.
The white stuff is the phosphates you wanted removed from the water. So now it is in your filter. Clean it all out.
