Our computer testing (Pinpoint) is fairly sensitive. My employer has used several different phosphate testing methods (as again, we were/are getting INSANELY high phosphate readings. They ALL registered at the same levels). Worse concentrations, fresh fills. The multiple suppliers that we buy from have ALL had Phosphate Remover stock issues.

For places/areas/pool owners who don’t get water professionally tested, high phosphate levels (ie, no chemistry used to remove from suspension) it would be called “high chlorine demand.”

“[19th May, 2014] Gov. John Kasich is set to sign into law new agricultural regulations that mark Ohio’s largest effort yet to combat algal blooms on Lake Erie and other state waterways.”

Time to get Al Gore to divest himself of millions and scoop up the algae for bio-fuels.

I'm glad you posted this for selfish reasons too. Had to drain our swim spa. We have a greenhouse and the lower level is for the spa. Roofers dropped 3 bundles of shingles onto the glass shattering one of the roof panels. Had to drain it and spent untold hours removing safety glass (from everywhere). That was a year ago and I was planning on refilling this fall. That would have been a shock to find out. No pun intended.

What are they thinking? Phosphates cannot be removed in the sewage treatment cycle. It is going to be pumped directly into the waterways. I think you have identified the culprit in the blooms.
