Welcome to our monthly product highlight blog! This month we will be looking into Phosphates and a very exciting product that our team at The Swimming Pond Shop have been busy creating.
The product we will be going into more detail about is The Swimming Pond Shops very own inline Phosphate Filter; Phosphate X. After careful research on the most appropriate system, media and design the filter became a reality. This filter can be plumbed into your filtration system, allowing constant circulation of water and phosphate filtration.
Filtering phosphates out of your ponds water is incredibly important when wanting to maintain a healthy Swimming Pond. Phosphates are a primary nutrient that fuel algae growth, including unsightly blanketweed and green water. A Swimming Pond should rely on a careful biological, and if needed mechanical, balance. Low nutrient levels are essential to let your gravel filter and aquatic plants outcompete algae for food. Excess phosphates upset this balance, leading to more maintenance and less water clarity.
