Hello Everyone.

As the title suggests, I have high phosphates (2500). I have sufficient chlorine (1.7) and the pool actually looks really good. I have 2 forms of treatment available. I have a bottle of PhosFree and I also have the Phosfloc treatment as well. With the PhosFree, I know I would have to backwash approximately 8-12 hours into the treatment due to the high pressure building. With the Phosfloc, I would treat the water overnight and vacuum the next morning. My question is, given the 2500 phosphate level, would the PhosFree do the job? Or is the Phosfloc necessary. I have treated with PhosFree in the past, but my phosphate level was not quite as high. I do have a vacuum, but I have never used it. Additionally, if flocing and vacuuming is the answer, should I put my pump dial on waste so I bypass the filter?

Please help.

Mike
