Your incoming fill water may be hard.
Can you swim with high levels of phosphates?
In a word, Yes. Phosphates are really a non issue. Phosphates are an algae food but IF YOU ARE MAINTAINING PROPER FREE CHLORINE LEVELS for the CYA level in your pool they are a non issue and you will not get algae. Phosphates are also often not the limiting factor in algae growth. Nitrates are also algae food and the only way to remove nitrates from pool water is by water change. There is not a nitrate remover that a pool store can sell you so nitrates are not normally tested. Phosphate removers have become big business and big profits for pool stores and chemical distributors but they are an entirely unnecessary product 99% of the time if proper pool maintenance is followed. High phosphate water is perfectly safe to swim in.
Why would algae come back two days after it was all cleaned off if there is enough chlorine in the pool?
You should get the pool water tested for 'phosphates' and 'nitrates', both of which can encourage algae. Common problem these days. Easy to get rid of if too high (phosphates max. 125ppb, nitrates max. 25ppm). E-mail me if you need more help.
