What Do Phosphates Look Like In A Pool?

Yes, we can clean it by ourselves, but it is different when the one who will do it has all the equipment and years of experience. In that way, we are assured that it is really clean and the water has been monitored to be safe for everyone’s health.

The swimming pool water should be tested every week to avoid growing organisms that we never want to be on it. When the water becomes cloudy and green, that is an indication that the phosphate level is too high. Having a high level of phosphate can increase the growth of algae which can lead to difficulty in maintaining a good water conditions and expensive maintenance.

It is necessary to cover the swimming pool when not in use because these phosphates are from the dead leaves that fall from the tree or are blown by the wind, fertilizer from your lawn, and some other many sources that contribute to making the level of phosphate goes higher. Removing them is impossible to do, and covering the pool has no assurance of not having them in your water. However, the goal is to maintain a low level of phosphate so that the algae won’t grow and the water will not become cloudy green but crystal clear.
