๐ง Is your pool eating through chlorine faster than your teenager eats snacks? ๐
The culprit might be phosphates!
Think of phosphates as food for unwanted contaminants in your pool. The more phosphate โfoodโ available, the harder your chlorine has to work to keep your water clean and clear.
๐ฅ Notice how the water turns cloudy and milky in this video? Thatโs actually a telltale sign that phosphates are present. When phosphate remover is added to the pool, it binds to the phosphates and creates that milky appearance as it begins removing them from the water. Itโs chemistry in action!
Once the phosphates are removed and filtered out, your pool water will clear up, and your chlorine wonโt have to work nearly as hard.
At Lake Asbury Pools, weโre basically pool chemists in flip flops. ๐งช๐ We test, diagnose, and treat phosphate issues to help keep your pool sparkling all season long.
If youโre constantly adding chlorine and wondering where itโs all going, a phosphate test may be the answer!
