Testing and Phosphate Control in Palm Beach County
Phosphates began to appear in the news back in the 1970’s. This is when “low-phosphate” laundry detergents first originated. This was to protect lakes, streams, wetlands and other runoff areas from the detrimental effects of excess phosphate as one of these effects is unwanted algae blooms. What is true for rivers, lakes and streams is true for your pool.
Where do phosphates come from?
Phosphate are constantly being introduced into your swimming pool water. They are found in lawn and garden fertilizers, decaying vegetation, municipal water, suntan lotion, and even other pool chemicals. Simply put, there is a fresh batch of phosphates entering your pool when any of the following occur:
The wind blows dirt and dust into your pool- Municipal and well water
- Sprinkler run off from your lawn or landscaping
- Leaves, twigs, or bark enters your water
- Rain, bird droppings, bugs and more
Testing and High High Phosphate Control in Palm Beach County
Phosphates are the primary ingredient in fertilizers. Phosphate is plant food, and algae are plants. If you have had persistant trouble with algae, you may have a phosphate problem in your pool. When excess phosphate is present in a swimming pool, the symptoms often include the following;
- Poor Water Quality
- Cloudy or Greenish Water
- Slippery and Slimy Surfaces
- Mustard or Green Colored Debris
- Excessive Chemical Consumption

The reason a “salt pool” feels, smells, and generally provides a more pleasant experience, is because, when working properly, the saltwater system is generating enough chlorine to completely finish the process and fully oxidize any organic material that enters the pool automatically every day, with minimal pool owner intervention. The main benefit of using a salt system for your pool are that pool owners don’t have to purchase, carry, or measure chlorine for pool use, or worry about spilling and splashing, as well as storing it safely around kids and pets. Other benefits include long-term cost reduction, and consistent, reliable pool sanitation without the “peaks and valleys” of consistently treating the pool with chlorine.
Testing pool chemistry and adding chemicals as needed to “balance” the pool or spa
We probably don’t need to mention this, but it bears repeating. Cost is on of the primary factors in most buying decisions, and it plays a role when hiring a pool cleaner as well. The key here is not to let cost dominate the decision. A higher price doesn’t guarantee better service, and a low ball price is often a sign of trouble ahead. Bottom line: If you can’t count on your pool service, you can’t count on being able to enjoy your pool. Considering your combined investment on the pool and the pool cleaning service, that’s clearly unacceptable.

Many utility companies have low cost plans for running major appliances at night, known as the off-peak hours and rates, that can lead to considerable savings for pool owners. Make a phone call or check your billing statement and find out if running your pool filter at night is the way to go. If it is, buy a programmable pump that can give you the freedom to run your filter at the most cost-efficient times. Also, a programmable, variable-speed pump allows you to adjust the speed at which the water is pumped through the filter, which means energy isn’t wasted during those times in the cycle when a slower flow is appropriate. This could save you 50% or more on your electric bill, since the pool pump is the second biggest user of electric behind central air. A programmable variable speed pump could be the best pool equipment you ever purchased.
