Poison some, what is it for?
The some is a chemical for swimming pools used to prevent and control algae growth.
Algae can make the pool water become Green, cloudy and slippery, in addition to being a health risk and hindering the maintenance of the pool. The use of some helps keep the water clear and safe to swim.
How to use pool
- Read the instructions of the somewhat manufacturer to determine the correct dose according to the size of your pool.
- Make sure the Filtration system being working properly.
- If it is the first time you use a little sake or if there are a lot of algae, make a shock treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Add the sake in a container with water and distribute on the pool equally in the recommended doses.
- Apply a weekly maintenance dose or according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent algae growth.
- After adding the sake, Analyze the pool water and regulates the pH level as necessary.
- Keep the filtration system in operation for at least 24 hours after applying the sake to ensure good distribution and product effectiveness.
- Do not mix Lease with other chemicals, such as chlorine or clarifiers, unless specifically indicated in the instructions.
- Keep the sake in a cool and dry place, out of reach of children and pets.
A good use of the some will help you maintain a clean, clear and safe pool for all!
Types of pool algae
Before applying your sake, it is essential that you know what you face identifying the type of algae of the pool, since each one fights in a form and there are algae that can quickly regret, becoming a persistent problem.
Types of algae in swimming pools:
- Green algae: known as chlorophytes, are cyanobacteria that obtain their green chlorophyll color. This type of algae is reproduced rapidly, especially when chlorine levels in the pool are insufficient.
Identification: The pool can go from being a little cloudy to an olive green color in a single day due to the rapid multiplication of these algae.
- Yellow algae, also called mustard algae, these usually resemble pollen or lumpy sand.
Identification: They accumulate in the corners and at the bottom of the pool, forming visible yellow deposits.
- Black algae. Although they are not true algae, these are cyanobacteria that appear as black points on rough pool surfaces.
Identification: These algae are highly resistant to chlorine due to their deep roots on the walls of the pool, which makes them difficult to eliminate.
- Baba Rosa: It is not an algae, but a bacterium that accumulates around the pool components.
Identification: It appears as a pink mud and must be treated quickly to avoid swimming in a bacteria contaminated environment.
How much and when to throw in the pool
The amount of some which you need depends on the type of some, its format and the size of your pool. Generally, the instructions will indicate the exact amount, but then we give you some general guidelines!
The dose is usually 1 liter of a dater for every 50,000 liters (50 m³) of water, although the MAINTENANCE DOSE It is usually 250 ml for every 50,000 liters (50 m³) of water, applied weekly.
Regarding When to throw slope, initially, if there is a visible problem of algae (green or cloudy water), perform a shock treatment. Then applies the some Once a week To prevent algae growth. In addition, before and after periods of intense use you can use it too.
Types of pool
Proper pool maintenance is essential to guarantee a safe and pleasant swimming space. A crucial part of this maintenance is the prevention and control of algae, that can make the pool a unhealthy and attractive environment.
To deal with this problem, there are sudden, and there are different types available in the market, each with their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. The most common are copper -based some and the quaternary some and then detail more about them:
- Copper -based some: These some somewhat effective to eliminate algae already present and act in a powerful way against several yellow algae. A disadvantage is that the precise amount should be used to avoid blue spots on the pool surfaces.
- Quaternary some: Quaternary schools are a safer option than copper -based some spots on the pool. They are effective to prevent algae growth and, if used in the appropriate amounts, do not generate foam in the water.
Antialgas for salt swimming pools and polyester pools
Antialgas for salt swimming pools and polyester/liner pools must be agicidated without copper.
These are formulated to prevent the formation and development of algae in swimming pools with polyester or liner linings and in those that use systems of saline chlorination. Its composition includes tensioning compounds that provide a high Bactericidal, algicidal and fungicide. It is advisable to apply the product preferably at sunset and when there are no bathers in the water.
In addition, other functions must be clarifying water thanks to its flocculant capacity and avoiding the appearance of calcareous inlays. It must contribute to maintaining electrodes in good condition, improving the chlorine generation process and extending the useful life of the saline chlorinator. Ideally, the formulation is non -sparkling, which avoids foam formation.
