Water treatment
INTRODUCTION
Minipool water that is always clean and clear, but above all bacteriologically pure and free of algae, guarantees
safety and comfort for users and offers the pleasure of a safe, relaxing bath.
The pool water must always be disinfected and disinfectant and have a residual disinfectant content ready to elimi-
nate any new contaminants that may be brought into the bathtub by people or the environment.
The manufacturer recommends the use of its products as they are tested and compatible with the construction
material. The use of different products may cause damage to surfaces over time that is not covered under war-
ranty.
The best disinfectant is
bromine
, as it is heat resistant. The product comes in 20 g slow-release tablets. It performs
its maximum sanitising action in water with a pH value between 7.4 and 7.8. The use of bromine is combined with
ZERO PROBLEM
antialgae
and
OXIGEN
ATTIVO GR
granular
oxygen
. Oxygen has its own disinfecting power
and serves to reactivate bromine when the active disinfecting bromine is transformed into combined bromine. Fur-
thermore, the natural increase in water pH is inhibited.
It is always important to use high quality specific products and to check chemical parameters, in particular the pH
and the level of disinfectant. There are specific kits for measuring these parameters.
In addition to chemical products, it is necessary to remember that the bottom and sides of the bathtub should be
thoroughly brushed and the filtration system left running for an adequate number of hours per day to allow the
removal of suspended water pollutants.
Two simple but fundamental operations should be carried out on a regular basis:
1
Check the fundamental water parameters (pH, hardness, alkalinity)
- page 84
If the three parameters are not perfectly balanced, larger quantities of additives and disinfectants may be needed
followed by maintenance.
For example, an excessively alkaline water makes it difficult to keep the pH stable. In turn, an unstable pH fosters
the formation of algae and therefore requires the use of algaecides in quantities higher than normal.
These parameters are measured by using test strips that are easily found in specialised shops. If necessary, it is
possible to use specific products to bring them back to optimal values.
2
Disinfection and water cleaning
- page 39
A very important operation for the hygienic and user comfort: products are added to the water that can elimi-
nate bacteria and fungi (disinfectants like oxygen or bromine) and make it more clear and crystalline (additives
like algaecides, anti-foam, flocculants, etc.). Water should be checked periodically to see if the concentration of
disinfectants and additives is sufficient to guarantee their effectiveness.
These two operations must be done very
frequently
, taking into account the more or less intensive use of the min-
ipool, the number of users and the quality of the water used. Other actions, like the emptying of the minipool, are
occasional
and should be done only when needed.
It is recommended to have your minipool checked at least 1-2 times per year (for example at the end and
beginning of the season for outdoor installations) by contacting the Manufacturer's service centres. This will
guarantee excellent performance and durability over time, especially in the case of very intensive use.
The suggestions on the following pages only cover some general aspects. If there are problems or special needs,
contact the manufacturer for suggestions.
