MINERALIZER/NATURE2

This system is a unique system that uses a replaceable cartridge together with a very low chlorine reading to maintain clear and safe water with very little attention on the homeowner’s part.

  • “This system works better” according to the manufacturer.
  • Ends the chlorine hassle, saves time, and improves water quality.
  • This system is less time consuming than adding chlorine to the skimmer or to the pool.
  • Simply change the cartridge every swimming season.
  • This system feels better – a “softer” feel.
  • No more red, stinging eyes, dry skin, or bleached bathing suits.
  • Cuts chlorine use up to 90%
  • This system is safer in that you are not handling chemicals as often.
  • No electricity and no moving parts
  • Before starting up a new cartridge, clean the debris and algae out of the pool and filter equipment.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL THE NEW CARTRIDGE UNTIL THE POOL IS.
CHEMICALLY BALANCED

  1. Balance the pool water. Bring a sample to a professional pool store.
  2. Install the cartridge in the purifier.
  3. Shock the pool. On the first day the new cartridge shock the pool with 1# dissolved Burn Out to 10,000 gallons of water in the pool. You may use Burn Out 35 if you wish to sprinkle the shock into the pool.
  4. Activate the cartridge. Run the pump continuously for 4 days.
  5. Maintain between 1-2 ppm residual chlorine reading for the 4 days.
  6. After 4 days let the residual drop to .5 ppm.
  7. Maintain a minimal .5 ppm reading. Use a slow dissolving stick in the skimmer, chlorinator, or add small amounts of granular chlorine as needed. In the off season when not swimming, shock with 1# Burn Out or Burn Out 35 per 10,000 gallons of pool water every two weeks to remove organic matter. During the swimming season, shock once a week.
  8. Enjoy the pool!

WATER CLARITY

Most new owners start out okay, but then things go wrong! There are so many things to remember and so many variables such as weather, wind, bather load, etc, Many people other than just the new owner become confused and end up with the “swamp” look. It is better to understand what is going on and what you can do to prevent “swamp” water than to spend your time and money trying to clear the “swamp.”

Every pool owner experiences cloudy or green water sooner or later. This is a given fact. The question is always, “What did I do wrong?” You may have done nothing wrong, but you failed to do some additional step that would have prevented the cloudy water.

First let us say that each pool is unique. We can only talk in general terms and you should feel free to bring your pint of pool water to our lab at any time. Cloudy water usually happens when there has been a change in the weather such as a rainstorm, after a swimming party, or after you have followed the same routine for an extended period of time. Yes, doing the same thing over and over can lead to trouble given enough time.
Two things prevent cloudy water: 1- Chemicals in the correct dosages, 2- Proper filtration. Saving money by not shocking the pool after a rain, or a pool party will actually cost you more when you have to clean up the “swamp.” If you don’t run the pump for twenty-four hours after a rain, party, or shock treatment, you will almost guarantee cloudy water. So you see, it is not really something you did wrong. It is what you did not do. You do not shorten the life of the pump by allowing it to run twenty-four hours per day. If the filter does not have a chance to do its job of removing the dirt from the water, no amount of chemicals will keep the pool clean and inviting forever. In the summer, you probably need to run the pump and filter a minimum of twelve hours a day. At the first sign of any changes in the water, you must run the pump and filter all the time – twenty-four hours per day!

Trying to save money by not using the correct dosages of chemicals or running the pump is foolish! You will certainly spend more money cleaning up the resulting “swamp” than you saved by not staying on top of the changing demands of the water in your pool.
