Phosphates are nutrients that enter your pool through debris, fertilizers, fill water, and swimmer waste — and they’re the #1 food source for algae.
Keeping phosphate levels low is key to a clean, clear pool.
In this video, we cover the top products to eliminate phosphates effectively:
Pool RX Blue – Drop it right into your skimmer basket for a slow-release mineral treatment that continuously fights phosphates and algae.
Phos Locker Max – A powerful phosphate remover also placed in your skimmer basket, binding and locking out phosphates fast.
Phos Locker Max Mini – Designed for your inline canister, this compact version delivers continuous phosphate control without the hassle.
PR-10000 by Orenda – A highly concentrated phosphate remover that tackles even the toughest phosphate loads with ease.
We recommend using these products April through September, when warmer temps and increased pool use drive phosphate levels up the most.
Stay ahead of algae — treat your phosphates all season long!
