In this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, hosts Wayne and Steve dive into the topic of calcium phosphate in swimming pools. They start by explaining what calcium phosphate is and how it forms when calcium in the water combines with phosphate. The hosts identify common sources of phosphates in pool water, such as fertilizers, decaying organic matter, and certain pool chemicals.
They discuss the potential damage calcium phosphate can cause, including scaling on pool surfaces and equipment, cloudy water, and reduced efficiency of pool heaters and other equipment. This buildup can also lead to clogged filters, which increases maintenance efforts and costs.
Wayne and Steve then cover methods for preventing and removing calcium phosphate from pools. They recommend regular testing of water chemistry, using phosphate removers, and maintaining balanced calcium levels to prevent the formation of calcium phosphate. For existing issues, they discuss strategies like using specific cleaning agents designed to dissolve the buildup, along with a thorough cleaning of pool surfaces and equipment to restore the pool to optimal condition.
