Troubleshooting

The BAQUACIL Pool Care System was developed to give you a clear, sparkling pool with far less work than ordinary chlorine-based systems. Even so, problems can occur on occasion, and the treatment required may not be the same as for a chlorine-treated pool. If you have any questions, consult your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer.

I. ALGAE

BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat, in addition to its effectiveness against bacteria, generally will give good algae control. Download our Treating Algae Reference Sheet (PDF)for detailed instructions

II. FOAM

Sometimes foam will be caused by a simple mechanical defect, such as a leak in the plumbing/filter pump. So it's a good idea to check for leaks first.

You should also check the calcium hardness level, to be sure your water is in balance.

If there are no leaks, and the calcium hardness level is acceptable, test your water for the BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat.

If it is too high above 50 ppm), or if your water has an almond-like taste (which would indicate too much BAQUACIL Algicide), you'll need to reduce those levels.

To do this, partially empty your pool, then refill it with fresh source water.

If the tests show your water is within all the proper ranges, you can use an antifoaming agent, such as BAQUACIL Foam Disperser. Consult your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer for details.

III. WATERLINE RING

Organic debris tends to accumulate around the waterline of all swimming pools. Due to the chemical nature of BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat, you may have slightly heavier deposits, especially during the first few weeks after converting to the BAQUACIL CDX System. You can clean the ring easily by using BAQUACIL Surface Cleaner.

IV. DULL WATER

If your pool water is clear, but seems to have lost its sparkle, you can turn dull to dazzling with BAQUACIL FILTER AID, simply by following the label instructions. Just remember to run your filter continuously for 24 hours.
