DO’S AND DON’T’S
Remember:
(DO NOT LET YOUR POOL MAN/SHOP OVERRULE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
1.
Don't allow direct sunlight to shine onto the display
screen. The LCD as it is called is not covered by our
warranty if left out in sunlight.
2.
Don't leave any old sand whatsoever in the filter
when replacing the old sand/medium in your filter.
Make sure the filter is clean before adding the new
sand or glass media.
3.
Don't operate an auto pool cleaner
(Kreepy
Krauly/Barracuda etc) while initially ionizing the pool
as these will inhibit the water flow and therefore slow
down the time it takes to achieve the correct level.
Only use suction cleaners such as Kreepy Krauly,
Barracuda etc once a week, and remove when not in
use. This will ensure good flow through your filtration.
4.
Don't operate any waterfalls/features
while initially
ionizing the pool as these features may also inhibit the
water flow.
5. D O N O T a d d a n y c h e m i c a l s t h a t a r e n o t
recommended by Bionizer to work with your Bionizer
unit, despite what your pool service man may tell you.
NEVER use stabilized granular chlorine (calcium hypo-
chlorite), or chlorine stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid).
Check the Snap Pool Balance chart for recommended
pool balance levels.
6.
Don't use any flocculants (pool water polish /
clarifiers)
that remove metals or minerals from water
(such as Alum based types), as they will inhibit Bionizer
operation. If at any time a flocculant is required to
remove dust etc from your pool then we recommend
"
Bionizer Blue
" as it is compatible with Bionizer. This
specially formulated flocculant does not remove
metals from the water, and traps the residue in the
filter where it is easily backwashed away. This saves
having to vacuum the particles off the floor of the pool.
The water returns to a sparkling blue after treatment
with Bionizer Blue.
Alternatively, other brands of Polymer based clarifiers
may be used.
7. When treating your pool with
Bionizer PFP
Phosphate Remover, DO use the correct dose of
PFP
for your pool size and the measured Phosphate level.
Adding excessive amounts of
PFP
will not only cost you
money, but also affect the overall pool balance.
8. If you are not a diligent pool owner, or if you are
planning on going on an extended holiday, DO use the
Bioniser
product to ensure that your pool
will be sparkling clear when you return. You may use a
double dose of
if you will be away for more
than 2 weeks.
9.
Don't backwash the filter too frequently
unless
clearing trapped residue after shocking the pool. One
backwash session every 3-4 weeks is ample (give a
quick rinse after each backwash). Overdoing
backwashing the filter causes "tunnelling" in the sand
reducing the filter's effectiveness and reducing filter
medium.
10. DO take your pool cleaner out of the pool before fitting
a pool cover.
11.
Never open the control box. Unplug it before
removing it from it's usual position.
12.
Do check the pH and Copper levels
at least once per
week. Check pH every 2 or 3 days if it rises rapidly or
until it becomes trained to stay low.
The Bionizer pH
Boss will eliminate pH problems and irksome testing.
