Does a high phosphate level always result in an algae bloom?
No. Algae, like all plants, require a variety of nutrients to grow. There may be more than enough phosphate but too little iron to support algae growth. Testing may show very high phosphate levels yet the water is crystal clear. If, however, the “missing nutrient” becomes available, an algae bloom is sure to occur. How does PHOS-OUT work? PHOS-OUT binds with inorganic phosphate, making the phosphate unavailable as a nutrient. This reaction can sometimes be seen as a temporary haze in the water. The phosphate haze will be removed by the pond filter. One treatment will remove 1.5 ppm phosphate. How often can PHOS-OUT be used? PHOS-OUT can be used once a week or when testing indicates a phosphate problem. Can pets and wildlife enter the pond once PHOS-OUT has been added? Yes. PHOS-OUT can be used in ponds visited by pets, birds, and other wildlife. Instructions for using PHOS-OUT Add 25 ml of PHOS-OUT for each 100 gallons of pond water. Pour into water flow for even distribution in the po
