I have used this in past but I guess it was pointless. It did remove phosphates, I cleaned the filters and everything but it came back again in few weeks. Although experts say phosphate in your pool doesn't matter much if you keep your chlorine high. It eventually kills algae. Good price tho!
Theory on removing phosphates is that they are food for algae, so if you have a stubborn algae problem good idea to remove their food.
IIRC, it's not just pour it in and your done. Believe you pour it in let it work, possibly vacuum the pool, backwash the filter…..believe you have to likely backwash more than once….the dead phosphates clog the filter so you have to keep an eye on the pressure and backwash at least a couple times.

I use this once a year, you gotta keep your pump running 24 hours and it works amazing. Clear water lasts a year for me. The phosphates come from rain, runoff and obvious sources you put into the pool like the soaps and hair dyes people have on them getting into the pool. It's awesome because phosphates are the food for algae. Once you remove the food, no more algae. I bought 7 to get free shipping, because I use a copper ion generator and it end up saving lots of chlorine using this.

Not necessary to vacuum the pool per the instructions. Backwash, add product to edges of pool, run pump for 24-48 hours, backwash and rinse filter.
IME, the best is Natural Chemistry Pro Series PhosREMOVE – it's pretty concentrated. You can get a gallon of it for $50-60 from a pool supply warehouse. I slowly pour some into a skimmer, come back about 48 hours later, and backwash. If it makes a significant difference, then I'll repeat until near-zero phosphates.
If your phosphates remain high, it's probably because your tap water is full of phosphates (can be caused by overhead air traffic in your area, among other things). If that's the case, then don't waste your money trying to remove them. Just keep your chlorine/bromine/etc. at a good level, and it shouldn't get cloudy from algae blooms.
I'm guessing this Clorox product is weak. No experience with it, though.

If you have enough chlorine (check SWG) and shock pool 1x/week and add algaecide once in awhile you should be good.
Adding phosphates remover is not recommended!!!!!!!

Adding phosphates is the only thing that worked to remove algae from my pool. The pool guy I was using at the time said my Cyanuric Acid levels were too high, preventing the chlorine from doing its job so we drained my pool. Prior to this I was battling algae for ~6 months, using algaecide, cleaning the filter, etc. The algae returned after a couple of weeks of refilling the pool. I had my neighbors pool guy take a look and he said he could correct it in a week - he used phosphates and the pool has been crystal clear for the last year. He's now my pool guy.

In our experience, phosphates don't matter if you use algaecide. Our phosphates test sky high, but we never get algae and the only thing we do other than the algeacide is keep the chlorine levels OK (our PH/alk never needs to be adjusted for some reason) and do a brush like once a week and vacuum as needed (in-ground uncovered pool). On that note, their Clorox algaecide is on clearance as well. We got a year supply the other week, as we normally bought them for 30$ a bottle (that lasts 2 months in our 22k gallons) during the summer, and I read they have a 5 year shelf life.

You are correct. That's why I put IIRC …..and my memory was only 80% correct.
