Save Money on Pool Chemicals: Do This and Save $$

How do I test for phosphates? I heard put a cap of phosphate remover PR-10,000 in pool and if water clouds up it has phosphates. True test? I agree, after treating pool with phosphate remover it is a must to clean filter two or more times over the week.

@@tinybubbles263 you heard correctly. I actually did a video on this a few weeks ago. Here’s the link. Testing Your Pool For Phosphates kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnusZ6BrjKh5pdE

Where can I find granulated tri-chlor? I can’t seem to locate it anywhere.

[@kingofqueens777]

I basically just use chlorine. My pool was green last year and I couldn’t get it clear and I asked someone that was doing a pool service across the street. I can’t get my pool clear. They told me to get phosphate remover when I used it was clear the next day. I also have a question. My filter runs at 60% from 10am to 12pm and then at 80% from 12 to 4 if it runs at a higher percentage does that mean the vacuuming suction is stronger I manually vacuum it with a side port. I also want to thank you for all the great videos you post.

[@PoolSchooler]

@@kingofqueens777 assuming that you have your suction side valve adjusted the same between the vacuum (dedicated vacuum line) and skimmer when your pump motor no matter what speed the pump is running at when it kicks up to 80% full speed it will definitely create more suction. Just by virtue of the higher RPMs. However, typically if I manually vacuum a pool attaching my vacuum to the sideboard, I increase the suction 100% to vacuum and shut off the suction to the skimmer and doing so. Hope that answers your question

I really enjoy all your videos. I wanted to ask if you service pools in Goodyear, AZ? Take care

[@PoolSchooler]

@@phillipcorral-y8b I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, Goodyear is way out of my service area.

Do you have a link for purchasing Trichlor? Thanks for your video!

[@PoolSchooler]

@@abe7 trichlor granules are not easy to find. I would suggest doing an online search for EZ chlor or pool season. Trichlor granules

[@abe7]

@@PoolSchooler Great! Ill try that. Yes they are hard to find. I found the tablets, but I will look around some more.

[@swaggchu789]

What's the best way to do this? Cover?

[@PoolSchooler]

@@swaggchu789 clear the vegetation away from your pool if possible. I am not a fan of covers.

[@ChuckD59]

I've found a good skimmer running off an outlet does a great job attending to leaves and grass clippings. They tend to float for a bit. I don't want to mention names here, but there's a skimmer device that threads into an outlet and using a venturi at the bottom really sucks the stuff down and into an attached bag. Whoever designed my inground put the built in skimmer at the prevailing windward end meaning all the debris is blown to the opposite corner from the skimmer. Fortunately there's an outlet there and this device works great. It doesn't remove the debris from the water, you need to empty the bag, but it makes gathering it much easier.

[@PoolSchooler]

@@ChuckD59 Appreciate your comments. thanks for sharing.

[@Straycurrent]

As owner of a pool partially under the canopy of a giant pecan tree, I can testify that fallen vegetation drives up the phosphate level. My level was over 3600 before I began treating.

[@PoolSchooler]

@@Straycurrent I appreciate your comment.
