Ultra-concentrate HTH Phosphate Remover. The ideal solution for pools with recurring algae problems
In-stock orders dispatched:14:00
Ultra-concentrated HTH ANTI- Phosphate Remover. The ideal solution for pools with recurring algae problems. This is a very concentrated dose - so although the initial cost is large it will last much longer than most cheaper alternatives.
Phosphates are a major nutrient source for algae growth in swimming pools; removing them with this ultra-concentrated phosphate remover will dramatically reduce the potential for algae growth.
Phosphates in swimming Pool Water
What are phosphates?
Phosphates are chemical compounds containing phosphorus and oxygen. They are essential nutrients needed to support life and form part of the process used to fuel cell growth and maintenance. Plants use photosynthesis to convert and store energy from sunlight using complex biochemical reactions involving phosphates. Phosphates are therefore a major nutrient source for algae growth in swimming pool water, supporting their development even in the presence of chlorine. Removing them will dramatically reduce the potential for algae growth.
Where do phosphates come from?
Phosphate salts are retrieved from naturally occurring minerals, which are mined, refined, and purified for use in many applications. They can enter the swimming pool via mains top-up water, plant waste, urine, agricultural and garden run-off following heavy rain and even airborne dust. As time passes these phosphates gradually accumulate in the pool water, especially when there is a lack of replacement with fresh water. Even this is not a complete remedy as mains water contains a certain level of phosphate, which in some cases may be as much as 1,000ppb.
When is it a problem?
Algae growth accelerates even in the presence of chlorine at phosphate levels in the region of 300ppb. This is equivalent to having 30g of phosphate in a pool of 100m3 capacity. When measuring phosphates in swimming pool water we are dealing with relatively low concentrations and therefore use parts per billion (ppb) as opposed to parts per million (ppm) [100ppb = 0.1ppm]. To eliminate the problem and maintain the maximum efficiency of chlorine, it is generally considered that the concentration of phosphate should be maintained at less than 100ppb, which may be achieved by using ultra concentrated HTH NTI-Phosphates.
