    During the first two weeks, frequent vacuuming and backwashing must be done to clear away the residue of solids being solidified by the action of the Aligator. This action makes the water crystal clear. After a period, depending on how contaminated the water was before the Aligator was fitted, the vacuuming and backwashing may be resumed at the normal frequency.

  • Page 11: Chlorine Levels

    A point to remember is; both Aligator and chlorine work together to sanitise your pool and protect you from bacteria. Neither will work efficiently if the balance of the water is out.

    The level at which it is at its most efficient is between 40 and 60ppm. Over this level it starts to become a problem reducing the power of the chlorine and the effect of the Aligator. We therefore strongly recommend you purchase a test kit, and periodically test your pool. If you find that you are approaching the danger level, simply revert to using Non Stabilised chlorine for a period, and allow the normal backwashing to reduce the level.
