Hi Phosphates

[mkamp1515]

Sorry, I guess I should have posted that. I can not find the readout so the best I can do is memory.

TC 1.7
FC 1.6
pH 7.8 (added a little acid)
alk 105
CYA upper 30s, low 40s

That is all I remember. The guy at the store said everything else looked fine, just the phosphates were high. I think I have read that as long as your other readings are fine...phosphates do not matter. I am too new (pool 1 year old) to know. I have yet to have algae and I do not ever want it. I may be a little too cautious.

I went ahead and started the PhosFree treatment since I had 2 bottles already. I think I will go that route first since it is easier than the Phosfloc. Please let me know if I am off base.

Another question I have is if my chlorine level is good (1.5 or higher), can I still get algae?

Thank you very much,

Mike
