How do you get rid of phosphates in swimming pool with household chemicals?

You don't. Usually, lanthanum sulfate is used - hardly a household chemical - any metal salt that contains lanthanum, calcium, or aluminum is supposed to do it, but I wouldn't put most of those into my pool. Stick with the chemicals that work.
Note that you don't really need to bring your phosphate levels down unless you have an active algae problem, or often have algae problems.
