Always Check the Filters
When cloudy water occurs, remember to check the filter first. Chemicals for water clarity will not be effective if the filter is not functioning properly. Water clarifiers are especially dependent upon good filtration. If the water doesn’t clear after using a clarifier or becomes cloudier, the problem is most likely with the filter.
Preserve Salt Cells' Performance
Use SeaKlear Natural Clarifier™ to help prevent the buildup of oily scum and scale on salt cells. Phosphates can interfere with salt-cell performance. Use SeaKlear Phosphate Remover™ to remove phosphates from the water.
Avoid Organic Buildup
To prevent an excess of organic waste and oils that can lead to the formation of chloramines, it is important to shock the pool with SeaKlear Chlorine-Free Shock Oxidizer and use SeaKlear Natural Clarifier weekly to remove as much waste through the filter as possible. For heavily used pools, use SeaKlear PRS®.
Shock
A good system of sanitizing and oxidizing helps keep pool water clear and clean. Regular weekly use of a shock oxidizer shock product such as SeaKlear Chlorine-Free Shock Oxidizer reduces the number of nonbacterial molecules in the water.
Floc — the Bigger, the Better
Flocculation is the superior process when it comes to water clarity. Therefore, choose a clarifier that is a complete flocculant. Ideally, you will want a clarifier that removes the most particulate matter to the filter in the largest form possible. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier or SeaKlear PRS will both coagulate and flocculate for complete removal of particulate residues and waste, including oils.
Reduce Chlorine Odor
Heavy chlorine odor is a sign that chloramines are present. Chloramines are chlorine that has combined with by-products from swimmer waste in the water. Treat with SeaKlear Chlorine-Free Shock Oxidizer.
Identify and Treat Stains
Stain identification and treatment are simple. You don’t need an expensive kit or complicated process to determine the most effective course of treatment. Use the following techniques to choose a stain removal method targeted to the particular stain. Option #1—Rub or place a vitamin C tablet on the stain. If the stain lifts, proceed with a combination of SeaKlear Natural Stain Remover™ and SeaKlear Metal Klear™. Option #2—Pour a few ounces of SeaKlear Stain Prevention & Remover—Professional Strength™ on a small sponge and place the sponge on the stain, using a telepole and vaccum head (or net) to hold it in place. If the stain begins to lift, use SeaKlear Stain Prevention & Remover—Professional Strength to remove the stain.
