| V. HAZY WATER |
| One of the major causes of hazy pool water is lack of adequate filtration. If your filter is dirty or clogged, it can't operate at peak efficiency. And sometimes, backwashing alone won't get it really clean. In fact, backwashing a sand filter too often may actually reduce its effectiveness. That's why you should deep-clean your filter chemically twice during the swimming season with BAQUACIL Filter Cleaner. Download our Treating Haze Reference Sheet (PDF) for detailed instructions. |
| However, if your filter is clean, and you still develop hazy or cloudy water, follow this simple procedure: |
| 1) Top-up the BAQUACIL SANITIZER AND ALGISTAT level. Run your filter continuously for 24-48 hours. If the water does not clear, and there is no buildup of back pressure in your filter, do the following |
| 2) Add BAQUACIL FLOCCULANT according to label directions. This product coagulates the miniscule particles that can cause haze into larger ones, which can be trapped by your filter. |
| PREVENTING HAZY WATER |
| 1) Run your filter 8-12 continuous hours a day. |
| 2) Use BAQUACIL FILTER CLEANER or BAQUACIL SAND CLEANER twice during the season to keep your filter operating properly. |
| 3) Have your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer analyze your water once a month. |
| 4) Always perfrom routine housekeeping. |
| WATER MOLD / SLIME |
| If your pool is experiencing water clarity problems due to water mold or slime, take a sample of your pool water to your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer for complete analysis. Your dealer will make the necessary recommendations to assist you in returning your pool to clean condition. Be sure to follow your dealer's insturction carefully. Download our Treating Water Mold Reference Sheet (PDF) for detailed instructions. |
| EYE IRRITATION |
| BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat is much less likely to cause irritation than chlorinating chemicals. But eye irritation, like an allergy, is a very personal thing. If you get complaints from several swimmers, you should check the BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat level and have your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer do a complete water analysis. If the water is in balance, but the BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat level exceeds 50 ppm, you should reduce that level. To do this, partially empty your pool, then refill it with fresh source water. As always, consult your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer. |
| TASTE |
| Too much BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat will make swimming pool water taste dry and bitter. Too much BAQUACIL Algicide will give an almond-like taste and smell.If either of these tastes should occur, you'll have to reduce the chemical's level. To do this, partially empty your pool; then refill it with fresh source water. Again, remember to consult your Authorized BAQUACIL Dealer for details |
