    Should I care about phosphates?

    I recently had a project on our pool deck done that resulted in a ton dirt and sand getting in my pool. It’s been vacuumed/cleaned out but the guy that did the project (he does pool maintenance too) told me I should add phosphate remover because all the dirt in the pool would increase the...
