Default Swimming Pool Problem

Because I'm not in TV full-time I have a company maintain my pool/spa. There have been some algae problems recently, made worse by the heat of course, but I'm told the chlorine which should take care of algae is being compromised by high levels of nitrates and phosphates. This is due to wind borne fertilizers from the adjoining golf course. Fertilizer on the lanai screen, rain washes it into the pool. Phosphates can be eliminated, nitrates cannot. The only solution: drain and refill the pool. My guy says he has had 19 customers with pools on golf courses who have had the same problem.

Anyone got any info or experience with this problem?
Thanx!
