Clarity Of Your Pool Water - Intec CA10 Instruction Manual

Your pool water clarity is the responsibility of your filter and pump. The pump is
responsible for impelling the pool water from the pool and propelling it through the filter.
The filter is responsible for clearing the pool water. But, all filters are a trade off of
filtration capacity (the size of material the filter can remove) and flow rates (the volume of
water that can be processed over a given period of time).
NO FILTER WILL KEEP YOUR POOL PERFECTLY CLEAR.
particles (suspended solids, hair, suntan oil, body oil, dead skin cells) too small for your
filter to catch will accumulate and form a cloud. You will need to use a filtration aid to
keep your pool water clear. Below are the options that you can use to keep it clear:
1. Sequestering Agents
or
2. Oxidizing Agents
Sequestering Agents
These also known as water polishers, clarifiers, coagulants, light flocks, or
sequestering agents. These products will pull together those small particles until they are
large enough for the filter to catch. Intec recommends a product called Super Blue that is
manufactured by Robarb™. It is a corn starch durative. Follow the instructions on the
label for the amount to add to your pool. This should be added once a week or as needed.
If you see another cloud form during the middle of the week; i.e., after a storm or a heavy
bathing load, you may reapply.
Oxidizing Agents
These products will physically burn up the microscopic particles in your pool.
These products are more commonly utilized because of their ease of use and they are a
more economical option. The two most common agents are:
1. Hydrogen Peroxide
or
2. Household Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
