Phosphate
Just done a full set of water tests and my phosphate is a little high at 2.0 mg/l (Colombo liquid test )
Double checked then checked straight out of the tap and after the 3 pod all 2.0

Phosphate is not normally a problem for koi.
They are quite happy with high readings. It does mean your pond will be liable to getting blanket week. Blanket weed treatments will lower it otherwise you will need an RO system.

I've found Aquasource Resolve used once a month has kept Phosphate levels down and blanket weed completely eradicated.
