After chasing no chlorine for most of the summer, our pool store
finally go around to testing for phosphates (run off from our grass
service). They found a bunch. Their suggestion was to basically
replace the water in the pool. Any way to chemically or other wise leach
out the phosphates? Seems like something we will have to multiple times
over the course of the summer.

I had a real high level Phosphate in my pool it's food for Algae. I used a
product called Zero-Phos (

care of it. I discontinued the yard service, I can fertilize my pool myself.
