Hey Y'all,
I'm hiring a pool maintenance company to service my pool while I'm gone for five months. I just added water to my new pool in March and I've got the water chemistry dialed in pretty close via the TFP philosophy. To start out, the company wants to automatically add phosphates to the water as they say it makes the checmicals last longer. I understand CYA and chlorine isses and the importance of proper ph. But, I haven't found a lot on this website about adding phosphates. Is that a good thing? I'm in Arizona and I'm stuck with a company that just wants to use floaties and tabs. So, I know I'll end up with high CYA eventually and have to drain the pool (about 6,000 gallons). But what's this phosphate stuff?
