Pool Chemical Reduction Tips
1 | Consider a DIATOMACEOUS EARTH filter or replacing sand with our Glass Media. |
2 | Consider Glass Pack™ replacement filter media for your sand filter, which will fine filter and get your microns of filtration below 5. A must for indoor pool owners. |
3 | Use TSP (trisodium phosphate) mixed with pool water and muriatic acid to clear your cartridge filter more effectively. Use a trash can or trash bag to get 15 minutes soaking time (twice yearly). |
4 | Own an automatic vacuum, preferably suction side or robotic. |
5 | Replace your pool water if TDS (total dissolved solids) reaches 2000 or your cyanide level exceeds 80 (cyaniuric acid/stabilizer). |
6 | Assist your sand filter with muriatic acid once per year. Soak the sand overnight with one gallon once per year. |
7 | Change sand every four seasons, maximum without exception, and change cartridges every year. |
8 | Run your pH at 7.2 instead of the 7.6 or 7.8 high end range pool professionals deem acceptable. Most algae thrive in higher pHs and warmer water. |
9 | Use Borax to prevent of recurrence of iron stains or spots, often caused by chlorine, salts, and high pH. |
10 | Run your pump and filter during sunlight hours as algae don't eat at night. Use algaecide only in daylight since the algae must eat the poison. |
