To Pool Care

1.
Circulation
Moving water in all areas of a swimming pool is very important.
Bacteria and algae do not grow as easily in moving water
as in stagnant water. Moving water ensures that chemicals
are properly mixed throughout the pool. If a pool has one
problem area that consistently shows algae growth, chances
are great that this area lacks adequate water circulation.
2.
Filtration
The filter is one of the most important pieces of pool equipment.
A clean, properly functioning filter removes visible debris
as well as some you can not see. Regardless of the type
of filter, normal maintenance is essential and involves
three steps:
• Physical cleaning to remove loose debris
• Chemical cleaning with 23756BPG Filter Cleaner to
remove oils and stubborn, caked-on debris
• To improve water sparkle and clarity use 23722BPG
Concentrated Clarifier.
3.
Cleaning
Frequent vacuuming and daily brushing of the pool and pool
surfaces can prevent small problems from getting out of
hand. Routine use of a skimmer net is helpful in removing
floating debris to prevent it from settling to the bottom
of the pool. Weekly cleaning of tile borders with 23635BPG
Tile Cleaner will prevent water lines, and remove dirt and
grease that can harbor bacteria.
4.
Chemistry
•
Sanitize with UV stabilized chlorinating products or with
brominating products to kill bacteria.
•
Oxidize weekly to break down contaminants such as suntan
oils, cosmetics, and perspiration. Restore clarity and sparkle
to
pool water. 22818BPG is a multi-purpose shock that oxidizes,
clarifies, buffers and flocculates. Customer can resume
swimming in as soon as 15 minutes after application in most
situations.
• Prevent algae before it becomes a problem with 23083BPG
Non-Foaming Algaecide or 23046BPG All-Purpose Algaecide.
• Balance water by measuring and adjusting pH, total
alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Water that is out of balance
contributes
to swimmer discomfort. Sanitizers do not work as effectively
in water that is out of balance. Pool/spa equipment and
surfaces
last longer and perform better when water is in balance.
• Prevent metal stains and hard water scale by adding
23901BPG Stain and Scale Protector monthly.
5.
Testing
Every pool has a distinct personality so you need to regularly
test its chemical characteristics. Most important are the
pH and active sanitizer levels. Testing should be done at
least twice a day — at the same times each day —
while the pump is running. Local health department regulations
should be followed on testing frequency and recording of
information.
