Product Description
This kit is designed specifically for pool and spa owners to monitor phosphate levels, which are the primary food source for algae. Keeping these levels near zero is critical for maintaining clear, algae-free water.
Key Specifications:
- Measurement Range: 0 to 2,500 ppb (parts per billion).
- Results Speed: Provides reliable readings in approximately 30 seconds.
- Kit Contents: Typically includes 10 test strips, one sample vial, and a diagnostic color chart.
- Manufacturer: Natural Chemistry.
Why Test for Phosphates?
Phosphates can enter your pool through rain, runoff, or even some cleaning chemicals. High levels act as "fertilizer" for algae, making your chlorine work much harder than necessary. Using this kit helps you decide when to use a phosphate remover like PhosFree to keep your water chemistry balanced.

- Algae Prevention: Use this kit regularly to ensure phosphate levels remain below 100-200 ppb to effectively starve algae of its food source.
