Here's how to prevent your pool from turning green and yucky!
For ALL types of pools. Using
ANY sanitizer or system.
Chemically clean your filter with
SoftSwim Filter Cleaner (SoftSwim or biguanide
pools),
Kleen It or
Strip Kwik (chlorine or bromine pools).
Also use SoftSwim Assist. Adjust the pool's water balance: pH (7.4--7.6), Total Alkalinity (120--150 ppm vinyl
pools, 100--120 plaster or gunite finish), Calcium Hardness (175--225 ppm vinyl pools,
225--275 ppm plaster or gunite pools). Water balance is critical to maintain sanitizer
efficiency. Give the pool a good vacuuming & brushing. Clean the Solar Blanket with
Stow Away to remove any building biofilm that will
harbor algae growth.
Adjust Sanitizer level to normal
range (SoftSwim "B" to 30 - 50 ppm or Chlorine to
1.0 - 2.0 ppm,
Bromine to about 4ppm).
Add an initial dosage of Algicide. Back Up or
Algae All 60 (for chlorine or bromine
pools)
SoftSwim "A" Algicide (SoftSwim or biguanide
pools).. Double or triple shock your pool.
SoftSwim "C" clarifier (for SoftSwim or biguanide
pools).
BioGuard Burn Out Extreme (for chlorine or bromine pools). Optimize the Pool with
Optimizer Plus. This will make the most significant difference
in your overall pool care. Not only will Optimizer Plus suppress algae growth, but the
sanitizer (any type) will be enhanced, plus the pH & Total Alkalinity will get a second
buffer for their optimal balance. Put the Filter system on a timer & set the system to run for 12 hours each day,
during the day.
Don't rely on friends & neighbors to run the filter when you're gone. Go Away & have fun!
If you follow these steps, you'll return to a clean, clear, sanitary pool.
