Re: Phosphate testing
I haven't yet ordered the K -1106, but I'm going to soon. I realize that lowering the phosphates isn't gonna do diddly squat without enough FC. But, since we have lots of trees near the pool, those little green algae monsters keep popping up in usual places.
Before finding this forum, I used the PhosFree product to help clear my spring swamp. It seemed like it helped tip the balance in my favor. So, I did try using about 1/2 bottle of the Clorox product. That + a good shock looks like the trick. One issue though I found. Both the PhosFree and Clorox tend to clog up my sand filter when adding to skimmer. Possibly it's not ever really getting in the pool but does its magic in filter. IDK??? So I can't apply a larger dose without it ending up wasted in a back wash.
