How can i get rid of phosphates in swimming pool?

Answer Phosphates often come from dead and decayed organics in your pool. This can be from fertilizer in your own lawn, or it can be blown in from the wind (even invisible amounts). They also come from an abundance of debris. When you often get leaves, pollen, flowers, bugs, or anything like that in the pool they will sit in your filter and break down into phosphates. Another common cause is dogs, and lots of people swimming in the pool. Phosphates from people can come off their bodies in things such as skin cells, and detergents from the suits, and dogs are usually covered in phosphates. One cause of Phosphates in the pool are due to lawn chemicals getting into the water. If you have a lawn service who is putting down chemical .. you may want to cover the pool when the lawn service is there .. or ask them to stay further away from the pool. Next the family may be walking across the lawn to get to the pool .. or retrieve the errant ball when it gets away from them... then back in the pool .. with lawn chemical on the feet.. transferred to the pool .. and now you have phosphates in the pool. Laundry detergent also use phosphates and have been known to find their way into pools To prevent phosphates use a phosphate removal or maintenance preventive, skim the pool every day, clean the skimmer basket every day, and clean/backwash the filters as often as possible (every month if you live in a high-dust/debris environment)
