Phosfree Natural Chemistry for Swimming Pools

1. “Phosphates are basically algae food. Once they start creeping up, you’re giving algae everything it needs to grow, so keeping those levels low takes away its fuel.”
2. “In Arizona, phosphates are unavoidable — leaves breaking down, fertilizer in the air, dust blowing in. It’s all organic material, and it all ends up in the pool.”
3. “We add phosphate remover right through the skimmer. Just make sure you’re dosing for your pool’s actual gallon size and following what’s on the bottle.”
4. “Our target is keeping phosphates under 100 parts per million. When you stay under that, algae becomes very seldom an issue — not impossible, but rare.”
5. “This isn’t a magic bullet, but it’s a strong preventative step. Most pools that struggle with recurring algae have phosphate levels that were never addressed.”
