Starver
{Phosphate}: an organic compound of phosphoric acid in which the acid group is bound to nitrogen or a carboxyl group in a way that permits useful energy to be released (as in metabolism)
Starver - Lo-Chlor's solution for phosphate removal
Benefits
- Our patented formula now removes twice as much phosphates
- Does not cloud water
- Minimal filter pressure increase (see important notes below).
Important Notes
- Shake container vigorously before use
- Check filter pressure before you add Starver. If pressure is high, clean cartridge prior to adding Starver
- Add directly to skimmer with filter running normally - do not add to the pool
- If you notice the filter pressure increases substantially after adding Starver:
- Turn the pump off & on for a few seconds and check the filter pressure; if that doesn't help:
- Turn the pump off, switch to backwash for a second or two, turn the pump back on and then resume filtration.
- Can be used in freshwater/saltwater aquariums, lakes and ponds
- Safe with fish and mammals
- Non-toxic and biodegradable

Where do phosphates come from?
Phosphates are organic building blocks that form when phosphoric acid reacts with various elements found in nature. Phosphates come from leaves, fertilizers, and bather wastes such as sweat and urine. Other phosphates sources are detergents, some insecticides, soft drinks, toothpaste and even some pool chemicals.
How much phosphate is too much?
As little as 0.2 ppm of phosphate can result in outbreaks. Interestingly, in cases where pools have excessive outbreaks, the test may register a very low or zero reading on the Phosphate Test Strips. This is because virtually all of the phosphate has been consumed. This phosphate is now organically bound and is not measured by the test. When outbreaks are treated (super chlorination and/or the addition of Lo-Chlor Pool Algicide), this organically bound phosphate will be released into the water.
