Yesterday.... while getting my water tested for Iron (and trying to find some MA that was actually out of stock)
My local pool store dude reported to me yesterday that my high phosphate level of 179 will tend to reduce and even kill my FC in the pool. I told him it was my understanding that the ONLY issue with phosphates is that its Algae Food...and if there are NO Algae in the water...then who cares?? I explained how I SLAM my pool each season when I open it...and using my a) SWG and b) Nautilus CC Plus...I have pretty much a "Trouble Free Pool" all year with the exception of the most mundane maintenance.... To which he said..."no, Phosphates will reduce or kill the level of FC thus causing algae to bloom or it will make your SWG work too hard"...What??? Say What??? I just smiled and said: "Thanks, have a good day".
