8.) Sequestering Agents or Metal Out Removers in the water
Sometimes pool owners will add a flocking or
sequestering agent to the water to remove stains or scaling in a pool or remove undesired minerals that are in the source
water. Some of these will interfere with the
MineralPURE's
ions such as Sequasol, Cop-Out, Metal Magnet, Aluminum
Sulfate or Alum. Products that won't cause problems and that are actually recommended to use with
MineralPURE
include Pool Stain Treat by
United Chemical
or
Jack's Magic
. All polymer based products like Super Blue and Sea-Klear
do not cause problems either. If you are unsure if a sequestering agent is causing a low ion level, send Clearwater Enviro
Technologies a water sample to test. If it is a problem (these agents can stay in the water for up to a year) add a lot of
chlorine to shock it out of the pool water.
9.) Steel plumbing
Never install the electrodes on steel piping. Cut out a section of this and replace with PVC pipe.
10.) Improper installation
Sometimes installers will mount the electrodes on a bypass line and not on the actual return
line that goes back to the pool's water. Make sure unit is installed properly with correct connections.
11.) High Phosphate level
A high phosphate level will be a breeding ground for algae. If you have a lot of algae
growing and can't keep the Ion-level up, you may have a high phosphate level. Any reading over 125 ppb can cause
problems. Have your pool store test for phosphates or contact your dealer or
Clearwater
for more information. There are
products available that will remove phosphates from the water quickly and will eliminate algae and low Ion readings.
