Deep Blue Phosphate Remover for Swimming Pools – 12L

Description

The 6L size of Phosphate Remover for Swimming Pools.

Give your pool a crystal clear transformation with this powerful 1 Litre Algaecide. Specially formulated to wipe out algae for up to half a season in an average sized domestic pool, it leaves you free to enjoy a clean, inviting swim without the worry.

Phosphates occur naturally in water through environmental factors and organic waste, and they act as a key nutrient that algae feed on. By targeting and removing this food source, the Algaecide starves algae out, stopping it from spreading through your pool.

Algae may be harmless in tiny amounts, but it can rapidly turn pool water cloudy and green, leaving it unpleasant and potentially unsafe. These microscopic plants discolour the water and leave pool surfaces slippery, which can put swimmers in difficulty at risk.

Nitrogen and phosphorus compounds entering the water only add fuel to algae growth, making the problem worse. The Algaecide addresses this directly, breaking the algae’s life cycle and stopping regrowth so your pool stays clean and inviting.

To clear algae effectively, work through these simple steps. Start by shock dosing the pool, raising free chlorine to the level suited to the water’s condition. This step is essential for killing off existing algae and stopping it coming back.

Then physically clear any visible algae by brushing it away and, where needed, scraping off stubborn patches. Vacuum and filter out the residue thoroughly to keep the pool looking its best.

To guard against future algae problems, add the long lasting Algicide to the water. Built around copper chelate, it steadily releases copper ions that make the water inhospitable to algae. Keeping copper at the right level controls algae growth while avoiding deposits or other side effects.

With this Algaecide, you get a clear, algae free pool that’s safe and welcoming for every swimmer. Leave green water and slippery surfaces behind and enjoy a sparkling pool that’s a pleasure to jump into. Choose this Algaecide and notice the difference in water clarity and quality straight away.

1 Litre Will Eradicate Algae For Half A Season In An Average Sized Domestic Pool.

Water always contains phosphates. The quantity is determined by the quality of the water and the environmental contamination. Virtually all organic waste will increase phosphate levels. Phosphate is a nutrient for algae and by removing this food source algae cannot survive.

Algicides are a vital ingredient to control the nuisance of algae in swimming pool and spa water.

Algae are microscopic single cell plants. They exist in most water, from fish tanks to reservoirs. Whilst not directly harmful, they are undesirable in swimming pools as they discolour the water- usually green, which is most uninviting to the swimmer. Eventually the water can become opaque and dangerous in that a bather in difficulty may not be seen. The pool structure will also be slippery if algae are attached to it.

Nitrogen can be introduced into the water by bather contamination. Shock treatment, itself a good method of killing algae ensures that some nitrogen is released as a gas rather than staying in the water as an assortment of nitrogen compounds.

Phosphorus can is introduced into the water in a variety of ways. Phosphorus will eventually revert to orthophosphates which is what algae really likes.

HOW TO ELIMINATE ALGAE

• Shock dose by raising the free chlorine level to above 10 parts per million if the water is a greenish colour and up to 25 parts per million if you can’t see the bottom. This treatment should be done whilst bathers are prevented from entering the water.
• Brush algae from the structure of the pool. The more virulent types such as black and mustard varieties may need scraping off. Vacuum and remove these residues by the pool filtration.
• Introduce algicide into the water. This will most likely be in the form of copper chelate which slowly releases copper into the water, hence the term “longlife algicide”. Aim for an intial free copper level of 0.8 p.p.m and maintain at 0.4 parts per million. Don’t overdo it, otherwise copper may start to deposit on metal surfaces and it may turn your hair blue! Or use the alternative non-copper type.
