    Don't worry about the phosphates! Don't waste your money on phosphate removers! You don't have any algae...don't fix what ain't broke!

    SWGs can raise your FC levels very high if you let them....that is what the 'boost' or 'superchorinate' setting is for! (but it is better to shock with bleach...the boost setting will shorten your cell life)

    I am now following your advice. I was just wanting to find the source of the phosphates. I am glad I did since I was the one putting them in the pool.

    Question about the Jack's Purple Stuff...does it work to remove scale?? I'm looking for a good tile cleaner. Thanks.

    It's not really effetive on calcium at the pH it is used at. IMHO, The best thing to remove scale is muriatic acid and tile soap (for pools!) mixed together.
