You might have heard about phosphates when it comes to pool care, but what are they, and why should you care?
Phosphates are organic materials that come from leaves, lawn fertilizer, rainwater, and even swimmers. On their own, they don’t directly harm you… but they do feed algae. Think of them like fertilizer for algae growth in your pool! 
More phosphates = more food for algae = more green pool days = more headaches for you.
Here’s why keeping phosphates under control is a smart move:
Reduces the chances of algae blooms
Makes your chlorine work more efficiently
Keeps your water clearer, longer
Saves you time and money on extra chemicals
At ACORB Pools, we monitor phosphate levels as part of our water treatment program. If we see levels creeping up, we take care of it before it becomes a bigger issue, so your pool stays clean, safe, and swim-ready.
