Crystal Clear Water

For Crystal Clear Water - Simply follow the recommendations below. Information is relevant for Atlantic Pools® (Fibreglass)

To keep the swimming pool water in pristine condition, always check the chemical balance after rain or every 2-3 weeks.
 
 
            
   

ph 7.4
buffer add when required and check after rain
stabiliser add when required. (normally once per year.)
operating hours per day

We recommend running your filter 5-8 hours in summer, and 2-3 hours in winter (depending on the size of your pool and filtration system in use)

Note:

If the water is perfectly clear and the chemicals are perfectly balanced you can turn down your chlorinator hours, as long as your water maintains correct ph balance etc.

 gel cube  1 only
 Supershine  150 ml every 2 weeks (average)
 4 in 1  1 or 2 times per year, or as required

Over time, all pools have a calcium or scum build up near the water line. 4 in 1 removes scum lines, and also removes all body wates and added chemicals such as sunscreen.

Remember - A clean filter = a clean pool!

cartridge filter cleaning every 3-4 weeks or as required
sand filter cleaning Note: every time you turn the handle on the sand filter (clockwise only) wait for approx 30 seconds
backwash for 3-4 minutes, then rinse for 1-3 minutes. (if emptying the pump basket, place sand filter on closed, open lid and remove debris and return to filter setting before switching on.)
skimmer and pump baskets empty when needed

 

About Filters

SAND FILTERS with ZEOLITE
If you would like pristine water clarity you should choose a sand filter with zeolite media.
This will give you beautiful crystal clear water, and zeolite also removes ammonia from
water, which enables chlorine to work more efficiently. However, be prepared to lose
between 10 000 and 20 000 litres of water per year!

# 3 micron-easy to clean, backwash & rinse.

CARTRIDGE FILTERS
A cartridge filter is the standard filter in the industry and is very simple to use & clean.
Cartridges will clean 7 - 10 microns and is still gives very clear water, whilst saving
chemicals & water.

# 7-10 microns. Easily hosed to clean.

 

          

DIATOMACIOUS EARTH
Older style filter in between sand & cartridge with candles inside that are hosed to clean.

# 5-7 micron. Hard to clean.

 SAND FILTERS with SAND
At the low end of water clarity is the standard sand filter with sand inside the tank.
Easy to use and easily maintained, however the water is a bit milky at night when
underwater lights are turned on.

# 15-20 micron easy to clean, backwash & rinse.
