Phosphate level is very high, completed a second test but still the same. This is the second test with new chemicals and first test water was discoloured. Water formed froth in areas after below fast running areas over rocks and still waters carried the odd small patch of bubble/froth. Old EC meter reading was 214. Ph reading on new meter was 7.5 which is a standard reading for my site.
