Swimming spots and stains caused by metals. Colored water.
Most, but unfortunately not all spots on the surface of the pool are preventable. The problem is that most people do not realize they have metals in their water. Even traces of these metals (iron, copper, manganese, cobalt, silver) can cause stains. In fact, there is enough copper in a hundredth of a bush completely average sized pool swimming! Obviously I agree to the terms. This is where prevention andgood, proper pool care come into play.
Here's what happens: metals in your pool whenever fresh, make-up water added. They are dissolved in water. If the municipal water or well, the metals may be present. As the metals accumulate, the more likely that in the end out of solution. Once out of solution, make the water cloudy or even worse, that "plate out" on the surface of the pool and spots. Metals from the solution by a variety ofWay. But there are 2, which typically occur.
If a pool is shocked whether with chlorine or chlorine oxidizing agent, oxidizes the shock of all that water, including metals. Oxidized metals become "rust" in the case of iron or "Verdi gris" in the case of copper.
In the second way, metals out of solution or left "exposed" when they are, total alkalinity, pH and / or calcium hardness left unchecked and allowed to go low (below 7.2 pH, total alkalinity less than 80 ppm[No Pristine Blue pools], Calcium hardness below 100 ppm). The water is aggressive and the metals are more prone to oxidation. In many cases, the owners of the pool is not properly test their water and tend to "look" of water (the water is clear, everything should be ok) leave. This is typically the case with blond hair is green - low pH helps copper from the solution and "drive" the hair of the person! Then people blame the chlorine! And 'the copperin water.
When it comes to the exam, remember that only test for metals when in solution. Once oxidized, the metals from solution and can not be tested. For this reason, once a metal stain has occurred, the test metal is not all metals present.
Here's how to avoid stains from metal
Keep the water balanced. 7.4 to 7.6 pH, total alkalinity 125-150 ppm (vinyl pools), from 80 to 125 ppm (plaster / shotcrete pools) (Please note that these values are not TAPristine Blue pools applicable treaties, which holds the TA not exceeding 80 ppm), calcium hardness 200-250 ppm (vinyl pools), 225-275 ppm (plaster / shotcrete pools). In other words, your water professionally at the beginning, middle and end of the season (at least) tested - to ensure that they have a copper-and iron tests.
Prevent metal stains with magnet BIOGUARD pool (a masking agent) or Jack Magic Pink or blue stuff in order, filling the pool, then the addition of aMonthly maintenance dose.
If you have well water, swimming automatically handle with magnetic or magic of Jack.
If you have municipal water, swimming pool or Magnetic Magic Jack will not hurt.
In areas with calcium hardness, regularly treat the pool with products such as scale inhibitor BIOGUARD, staining and scaling caused by too much calcium dissolved in water to prevent. This type of staining can in what is often referred to as the result of "marbling cleaning." Plaster is a marblingCondition newly plastered pool that looks like plaster "streaky". There is almost no way out, because the differences in sources of water, gypsum "formulations", environmental conditions, etc. In other words, to avoid that, the boy is not swimming! It is a condition and can not happen.
If it is too late and you've already colored:
1 Take the water balance. Note that there may be further discoloration. This is a temporary phenomenon andclear once the treatment has been completed.
2 For the light color of iron and copper, using magnetic qt BIOGUARD pool at a rate of 1. per 10,000 gallons of water. Magnet BIOGUARD pool works well on "fresh" stains. Avoid shocking the pool for about 3 days.
3 For heavy staining, Stuff Blue Magic Jack is an excellent product. Jack's Magic products are preferred because high amounts of chlorine or higher (approximately 10.0 ppm) can have. This is particularly important ifMetal surface treatment problems PLUS application of chlorine or algae problems. It can treat both simultaneously. Follow this by using a product like BIOGUARD Sparkle up, to remove the body, heavy metals from water.
For the 4 points of light on the average distance swimming BIOGUARD Stain Remover is a good product.
5 heavy metal staining on vinyl, fiberglass or acrylic steps can be treated Stuff Stage Magic Jack.
6 Save time, money and work with Magic JackStain ID Kit. It 'really helps to determine the exact metal, so the stain is.
7 Note that for the treatment of metal stains, the stain can not lighten or "way" for several days to several weeks, especially if the spots are "old."
