Thanks for comments. I agree as when I went Tuesday to have water checked, 3500. All I did was neutralize Br with 99.9% Sodium Thiosulfate, add 1 oz Chlorox phosphate out and clean both filters with the spray. Thursday phosphates were 5000 so filter cleaner must be it. I think I'll get some new filters and do the dishwashing soap soak method rotating filters. Water is nice and clear and just high phosphates. I'll drain and fill this w/e when it warms back up.

I am in the same boat with Phosphates! I got a Master TS8.25 in May and have drained and filled 4 times now and ready again since stupid phosphates keep climbing up. I add 1oz stain and scale/metal out weekly, since when I go to add either Dichlor or MPS, the powder turns greenish brown. Local place noted metals. I say BS. Something else since their test shows 0 for copper/iron. I have a well with 0 metals and 0 phosphates so it's not coming from there. They were 4k and all I did was add some Sodium Thio (clump of Dichlor fell in tub) so had to immediately lower bromine/chlorine. Had water tested and now at 5k! How??? pH, TA, TH, all perfect. My test strip matches the perfect one on the front of the pacakge! ut only about 1 oz. I uses bromine and have tried the ecoPur also. Water will be clear and all then suddenly overnight just turns to green. Adding any chemical and it gets greener. Adding metal out and it turned into something on St Patty's day.
