What does algae need to grow?
Algae needs water, light, and minerals like phosphate and nitrate to grow.
Can you imagine any disadvantage in adding soluble phosphate to household products?
There's a big disadvantage: phosphate is a fertilizer that causes overpopulation of algae and water weeds.
Which of the following can cause excess growth of algae in water Large amounts of fecal coliform High nitrate content All of the above High phosphate content?
All of the above can cause excess growth of algae in water. High nitrate and phosphate content can act as nutrients for algae growth, while large amounts of fecal coliform indicate high levels of organic matter, which can also contribute to algae proliferation.
Does algae need sleep?
no because algae is a type if seaweed
What things in the ocean eat algae?
Algae eats a lot of things. But being a plant you can be sure that it creates its own food through photosynthesis. However, algae needs extra nutrients to help it along. Cheif among these are 2 things 1. Nitrates - produced through the nitrogen cycle, fish waste (ammonia) is converted by bacteria into nitrite, which is then converted by other types of bacteria into Nitrate. Algae will use nitrate as a fertilizer. 2. Phosphate - Phosphate can be found in many things, but certain types of algae begin to thrive when enough phosphate is present. So that's what algae eats.

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."
How do you raise phosphate levels in a pool?
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.

In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level dissolved?
Phosphate

All of the above can cause excess growth of algae in water. High nitrate and phosphate content can act as nutrients for algae growth, while large amounts of fecal coliform indicate high levels of organic matter, which can also contribute to algae proliferation.
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.
Does algae need sleep?

Does shampooing hair while in the swimming pool harm water chemistry?
You may be increasing the phosphate levels which promote algae growth.

What do algae need to suvive?
algae needs moisture and oxygen to grow.
In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level of dissolved?
nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. High levels of dissolved nutrients can lead to excessive algae growth, a phenomenon known as eutrophication, which can have negative impacts on water quality and ecosystem health. Controlling nutrient inputs can help manage algae growth in aquatic systems.
