L). PROPER PROCEDURES OF MAINTAINING A HEALTHY POOL
Adding an Occasional Oxidizer
An occasional oxidizer is necessary to burn off body oils, suntan lotions, and particles that get into the water and can cause
cloudiness. Always add an oxidizer whenever the water loses its "sparkle." Don't wait for the water to get cloudy, or an extra
dose will be required.
There are several oxidizer options:
Non-chlorine shock
- Add one (1) pound of potassium monopersulfate (non-chlorine shock) per 10,000 gallons once a week
during the warm weather season, less frequently during the cooler weather, or when the water loses its "sparkle." You may also
want to add some non-chlorine shock after a rainstorm if the pool was left uncovered. These are available in most pool stores,
or at
Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies
(1-800-537-5437) ask for "
Fresh 'N Clear
".
Household bleach
- Add two (2) quarts of regular household bleach per 10,000 gallons once a
week. You may also use liquid chlorine – but only ½ the amount. This small amount will dissolve
rapidly and you will have chlorine-free water in a few minutes.
Tablet in skimmer
- Add a 3" Trichlor tablet in the skimmer for continuous oxidizing. The reading
will be so low that it won't be detectable. This is ideal for pools with heavy swimmer use or if the
homeowner is away often.
Add OzoneMAX -
We strongly recommend the purchase of our
OzoneMAX
to work in
conjunction with
MineralPURE
. This will do the majority of oxidizing you need, further
reducing chlorine use. Contact your dealer for more details.
WARNING: Excessive amounts of Copper may cause staining of pool and spa surfaces.
Always keep pH under 7.8 at all times.
Add a Sequestering Agent for Marcite/ Gunite Pool
If your pool is made of a white marcite or gunite finish, we strongly recommend you add a
sequestering agent to prevent any type of staining in the pool. There are two types we
recommend:
- Pool Stain Treat
by
United Chemical

- Jacks Magic
(800) 348-1656
These products or ones similar are available in all pool stores worldwide.
