Chemicals from my kit were old and order refills on line but have not received yet. While waiting I took sample to a local pool store. They said everything was fine except for FC and posphates. FC was 5.5 which I am not concerned about. The said phosphates were reading 300 and tried to sell me a bottle of Pho Free for about $50 which I declined. Is this a reading that I need to worry about?

Remember phosphates are measured in parts per billion. 300 ppb is nothing. Don't give it a second thought.

No, you do not need to worry about phosphates.
Selling phosphate remover when it is at 300 Parts Per BILLION is trying to scam you.

That's what I thought and the reason I did not purchase it. It is the reason this national chain offers free water test so the can sell you a fix real problem or not.
