Thanks for the comments. The answer to one of your questions is no, I do not have algae. I run my pump about 10-12 hours a day at 85% chlorination (summer only of course). The temps here are averaging mid-90s to 100 most days in the summer. In fact...knock on wood...I have never had algae (pool built 15 months ago). The water is very clear and looks great except for the milkiness the PhosFree causes for a few days after treating the water. I tested the water this morning and it is around 1000 on the phosphate test. Was 2500 10 days or so ago. I am sick of messing with it and after this round of tests I think I will follow your advice and not worry about it. It is kind of funny that no one really mentions phosphates anywere in the stores unless you ask.

Thanks again and have a great holiday.

Mike
