PHOSPHATES

 

Phosphates are pollutants....
Phosphate became a household word in the 1970's.

This is when people started to use low-phosphate and

Phosphate-free laundry detergents.

This was to protect lakes, streams, wetlands and other

Runoff areas from the detrimental effects of excess phosphate.

One of these effects is unwanted algae blooms.

It created such fervor - remember the movie Swamp Thing?

 

 

 

 

Phosphates Accumulate in Pools....
What's true for lakes is also true for swimming pools.

Phosphate is a natural component of most swimmer wastes.

It is also present in rain water.

Phosphate is persistent and does not break down naturally.

Landscaper's fertilizers, which may blow into the pool,

Have high phosphate content.

For all of these reasons, pools can quickly buildup high phosphate levels.

This creates an abundant and tasty food source for all

Strains of algae, and can make controlling their growth difficult.

Remove the food, And you have a strong weapon against algae.

 

 

 

When Phosphates are Present, Algae Grows....
Phosphate is the main ingredient in fertilizer.

Phosphate is plant food, and algae are plants.

If you have had persistent trouble with algae,

Every year - and it always seems to come back,

You may have a phosphate problem in your pool.

When excess phosphate is present in a swimming pool,

The symptoms often include the following: 

•Cloudy, Green Water

•Slippery and Slimy Surfaces
•Mustard and Green Colored Debris
•Excessive Chemical Consumption
•Poor Water Quality

Remove the Phosphates and Solve the Problem....
