Went to the pool store to have the water tested to compare with my test results
FAC 2
TAC 2
PH 7.2
TA 70 added baking soda
CH 120
CYA 25
TDS 500
Phosphates 2500
Ok so the water is perfectly clear couldn't be more clear no residue of any type no algae; couldn't ask for anything more easy to maintain etc
So what about this phosphate I have read not to worry
"Finally, to use a phosphate remover when there is not an algae problem even with high phosphate levels in the water is, IMHO, just wasting money on a product that ultimately has no effect on your pool. Same idea as putting in copper to prevent an algae breakout when the water is clean. You are using a product that is not needed to correct a problem that is not present in your pool. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
What should I believe
