What happens if you put too much phosphate remover in pool?
If the phosphate level in the water grows above a normal level, it can interfere with a saltwater chlorinator system. The algae will grow faster because the phosphates are food for it. The chlorine in your pool will work toward killing the algae instead of sanitizing the pool.
When should I add PHOSfree to the pool?
Natural Chemistry PHOSfree brings phosphate levels to near zero and should be used when you first begin your phosphate management program. PHOSfree is non-toxic and will not cloud pool water. It is added directly to the skimmer and is compatible with all types of swimming pools, filters, and sanitizers.
Is phosphate remover necessary?
And, in case it needs to be said, you don’t need to use a phosphate remover. In fact, phosphate removers may contain chemicals that are even less desirable than phosphates themselves. They’re not necessary, and not even the best way to control phosphates.
Can you swim after putting PHOSfree in pool?
You can swim immediately. You should pour the phos free directly in the skimmer so it goes straight to the filter.
Can you add Phosfree and shock?
Yes you still need to shock your pool and use muratic acid to lower the ph. You want to add phosfree when the chlorine level is lower than 5ppm, and you want to wait 48 hours after phosfree to shock your pool. Ph is a completely different issue and muratic acid is the only way to lower it.
Do phosphates eat up chlorine?
Phosphates eat the chlorine, with low to no chlorine leads to algae growth. Only treat when needed.
Can you add PHOSfree and shock?
Does phosphate remover make pool cloudy?
Phosphate removers can also cause cloudy or hazy water as they bind to phosphates and cause them to fall out of solution and precipitate for removal by filtration.
Do phosphates make pool cloudy?
Phosphates are organic materials that naturally occur in your pool, coming from dead leaves, lawn fertilizer, and many other sources. At high enough levels, phosphates feed algae to grow in your pool. This will turn your pool’s water green and cloudy.
How long after shock can I add Phosfree?
48 hours
You want to add phosfree when the chlorine level is lower than 5ppm, and you want to wait 48 hours after phosfree to shock your pool. Ph is a completely different issue and muratic acid is the only way to lower it.
Does Phosfree raise pH?
Pool Perfect + Phosfree has no effect on chlorine and pH levels.
Does shock remove phosphates?
Although the shock will kill off some algae currently in the pool, the chlorine will not reduce the level of phosphates. Once the chlorine level drops, the phosphates will provide the conditions necessary for algae growth again.
