Where Do Phosphates Come From?
Phosphates form when phosphoric acid reacts with various elements in the environment. Common sources include:
-
Leaves and organic debris
-
Fertilisers
-
Bather waste (sweat, urine)
-
Detergents
-
Some insecticides
-
Toothpaste and soft drinks
-
Certain pool chemicals
How Much Phosphate Is Too Much?
Even as little as 0.2 ppm can trigger algae outbreaks. In some cases, phosphate levels may test low or even zero during an outbreak—this is because the phosphates have already been consumed by algae. Once the algae are treated (e.g., via superchlorination or using a Lo-Chlor algaecide), bound phosphates are released back into the water and can then be detected.
Dosage Instructions:
Initial Dose:
Add 500mL of Starver per 50,000 litres of pool water every 2–3 days.
If phosphate levels exceed 1 ppm, first treat with Lo-Chlor Starver X to bring levels below 1 ppm before resuming with Starver.
Continue the treatment until the entire container is used. After completing the treatment, have your water tested by your local pool professional.
Maintenance Dose:
Once phosphate levels are at the desired range (0–0.2 ppm), apply a maintenance dose of 500mL per 50,000 litres every 2 weeks.
Regular phosphate testing is recommended and should be carried out by your pool professional.
