Individuals with normal color vision will see a number, while those with a deficiency do not see it. On some plates, a person with normal color vision may see one number, while a person with a deficiency sees a different number.
Your phosphate level should be at or below 100 parts per billion (ppb). If your water chemistry and phosphate levels seem to be in check, one potential cause of the cloudiness in your pool could be dead algae. Phosphates are the food supply for algae, thus high phosphate levels promote algae growth.
If excessive amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen are added to the water, algae and aquatic plants can be produced in large quantities. When these algae die, bacteria decompose them, and use up oxygen. This process is called eutrophication.f excessive amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen are added to the water, algae and aquatic plants can be produced in large quantities.
