Metals
(some metals) can cause loss of chlorine and stain your pool. Have your local pool professional check for
metals and recommend methods of removal.
•
Chloramines
should not be present in pool water. When organic materials combine with free chlorine,
chloramines are formed. This ties up the free chlorine in your pool and does not allow the chlorine in your pool
to disinfect. Chloramines also cloud pool water and burn the eyes. Shock to remove chloramines at the initial
startup of the pool.
•
Super Chlorination
burns out the organic material that has combined with chlorine which frees the chlorine for
sanitizing. Super Chlorination is accomplished by raising the chlorine level quickly and dramatically. To super
chlorinate the pool using the Jandy® AquaPure® Ei chlorine generating device,
set the chlorine production to
100% and then set the pump and the cell to run for 24 hours.
•
Shocking
(Superoxidation) is also a means of burning out the organic material that has combined with chlorine.
This method involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When the chlorine
level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked.
NOTE
On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock using an alternate source, i.e., use a shock treatment
available at your local pool supplier.
CAUTION
Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal dilution of pool
water with fresh water. A buildup of by-products can damage the electrolytic cell.
• The
pH
condition resulting from the operation of a salt water chlorination system is close to neutral. However,
other factors usually cause the pH of the pool water to rise. Therefore, the pH in a pool chlorinated by a salt water
system tends to stabilize at approximately 7.6. If the pool pH rises above 7.6 have a pool professional test to see
if other factors such as high calcium hardness or total alkalinity are the cause and then balance accordingly.
•
Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS). Adding salt to pool water will raise the TDS level. While this does not adversely
affect the pool water chemistry or clarity, the pool water professional testing for TDS must be made aware salt has
been added for the sanitizing system. The individual performing the TDS test will then subtract the salinity level
to arrive at the correct TDS level.
•
New pool water
in a recently filled or newly refinished pool may contain undesirable matter which could interfere
with the salt water chlorinator’s ability to sanitize properly. Make sure the water is tested by a pool professional
and properly balanced before turning on the chlorinator system.
•
Sequestering Agents
can be used to compensate for source water which may have unusually high calcium
hardness. High calcium hardness can contribute to scale formation in the pool. Sequestering agents will help
keep minerals in solution and under some conditions can prevent scaling from happening. Consult your pool
professional about the use of a sequestering agent.
4.5 Optimum Pool Water Conditions
In accordance with Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) standards, we recommend the following water
balance conditions be maintained on an on-going basis to protect the pool finish and the equipment and to ensure
the pleasing appearance of the water. The Jandy AquaPure Ei is warranted to operate properly only if the following
conditions are met:
Free Chlorine
1.0 - 3.0 ppm. Continuous exposure to levels above 3.0 ppm may cause
corrosion of pool metals.
Combined Chlorine (Chloramines)
None (Super chlorinate to remove all chloramines).
pH
7.4 - 7.6 (Use muriatic acid to lower pH and soda ash to raise pH).
Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid)
30 - 50 ppm (For outdoor pools only).
Total Alkalinity
80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness
175 - 400 ppm
Metals (Iron, Manganese)
None
Nitrates
None
Phosphates
None
