You don't normally want to raise phosphate levels in your water. Phosphates are food for algae. You want to keep the phosphate below 125ppm to help prevent algae from growing in your pool.
GO TO JACKS MAGIC WEBSITE AND READ DR. NEIL LOWRY'S PAPER ON PHOSPHATES. YOU WILL KNOW ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
What else can I help you with?
How do you raise bromine in a pool?
To raise bromine levels in a pool, you can add bromine tablets or granules directly into the water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage based on your pool size. It's important to regularly test the bromine levels in the pool and adjust as necessary to maintain proper sanitation.
Can you use borax to raise alkalinity?
Yes, borax can be used to raise pH levels in a pool, but it is not recommended for raising alkalinity as it can affect the pH levels without significantly impacting the alkalinity. It is better to use baking soda or soda ash to raise alkalinity in a pool.
How do you raise the chlorine and lower the pH alkalinity in your pool?
To raise chlorine levels, you can add chlorine shock or chlorine tablets to the pool. To lower pH and alkalinity, you can use muriatic acid or pH decreaser. It's important to test the water regularly and make gradual adjustments to avoid overcorrecting levels.
Can you use muriatic acid to raise the cyanuric acid level?
No, muriatic acid is used to lower pH and total alkalinity levels in pool water, not to raise cyanuric acid levels. To raise cyanuric acid levels, you would typically use cyanuric acid stabilizer or conditioner.
How do you raise the pH levels in your pool?
raising the pH level of the swimming poolThe recommended pH-range for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. To raise or lower pH, alkali such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will added to the water. thanks hope it helps you heaps!!
How do you know if you have phosate in your pool?
To determine if there are phosphates in your pool, you can use a phosphate test kit, which is available at pool supply stores. These kits typically involve adding a reagent to a water sample and comparing the resulting color to a chart to measure phosphate levels. Additionally, if you notice excessive algae growth despite proper sanitation, it may indicate high phosphate levels, as phosphates serve as nutrients for algae. Regular testing and maintenance can help manage phosphate levels effectively.

Will buffer clear your cloudy pool?
Phosphate buffers put in cloudy pools will clear it up. The buffer clears the pool by reducing CH levels.

Does shampooing hair while in the swimming pool harm water chemistry?
You may be increasing the phosphate levels which promote algae growth.
Is there a chemical to keep tree frogs out of pools?
No. That is what the pool cover is for - keep it on and nothing will fall into the water. Check the phosphate levels of your water. I had a pool party of frogs every time it rained. I found my phosphate level was high, adjusted accordingly and now they're gone!

Is phosphate remover necessary in swimming pools with phosphate levels?
If you have a high phospate level in your pool it tends to make it more prone to algae attack,so if can lower it by all means lower it. The less phosphates the better. Go to JacksMagic.com and read Dr. Neil Lowry's article on phosphates and you will know more than about them than 90% of pool "professionals."

Where is the best affordable places to eat Italian cuisine with the whole family?
First of all, make sure everyone is out of the pool. Then, use a net to get the stool out of the pool and dispose of it properly. Then, you will want to check the chlorine levels and raise it to 2.0 parts per million if it was anything below that. The pH levels should be between 7.2 and 7.5. The pH levels combined with the chlorine levels will make sure your pool is decontaminated within 30 minutes.
The pH on my pool is low and as I use baquacil what should I add to it?
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.
