Sanit-eezy Starter Kit for Family Pools – Hints and Tips:

Cloudy Water:

Cloudy water can be caused by one of these 3 issues:

1. Incorrect water balance.

To correct this:

• Test and adjust the pH to between 7.2 - 7.6
• Test and adjust alkalinity levels to between 80-140ppm.

2. Incorrect dosing of Sanit-eezy Eezy Sanitiser and algae-control

Either too much or too little of these can cause cloudy water.

To correct this:

• Test sanitiser levels (15 – 20ppm). Seek advice from your Clark Rubber pool professional.

3. Poor water circulation and filtration:

To correct:

• If using filter cartridges:
  • Remove filter cartridges and clean with a Filtrite Filter Cleaner available from Clark Rubber
• If using a sand filter:
  • Backwash filter as per manufactured recommendation.
  • After cleaning your filter, dose the pool with double-dose of non-chlorine shock treatment with Filtrite Ultimate Oxyshock or Eezy Performance and operate the filter for 12 hours.

Green Water:

Green water is a sign of an algae-bloom. If algae occurs, correct this by brushing the pool walls and floor and then add Filtrite Ultimate Algaecide. The most common cause of algae growth is poor circulation or insufficient filtration run time.

Brown Scum Lines:

A brown scum line can be caused either by an excess of body fats or when water with chlorine has been added to the pool.

To correct this:

• Use a cloth to remove any scum build up.
• Add 25gms per 2,000 litres of Filtrite Chlorine Remover and run the pump and filter for 4 hours.

Offensive Odour

A strong chemical or offensive odour is usually caused by either a low pH level or from overdosing the pool with Eezy Sanitiser.

To Correct this:

• Check and adjust pH level, and dilute pool with fresh water if necessary.
