The main role of the swimming pool’s filtering system is to keep the water clean, clear and transparent. An effective filter can collect more than 98% of the polluting load found in the water.
A dirty, polluting filter is a sick one which instead of cleaning the water, pollutes it.
This is why the Barchemicals laboratories have designed specific products for cleaning and disinfecting your filter whether it be in quartz or glass, diatom or cartridge.
Just a few simple steps and your filter will be as good as new and your water will be cleaner.
GO AHEAD WITH THE FILTER CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Before anything, carry out a good backwashing. Open the filter and leave enough water to cover the filtering layer. In the case of diatom or cartridge filters, empty the diatoms or rinse the cartridge by removing the dirt inside.
Add 10l of BLU FILTER CLEANER for every 100 /200 kg of quartzite taking into consideration the level of pollution in the filter itself.
Mixing the quartzite or glass with a wooden or plastic stick ensures that the product reaches even the lower areas of the filtering mass. A light production of CO2 or foam means that BLU FILTER CLEANER is working.
Leave to take effect overnight.
After this, close the filter again and carry out a long backwashing until the foam in the drained water has completely disappeared.
In the case of diatom and cartridge filters, introduce the socks and cartridges into a 20-30% solution of BLU FILTER CLEANER and leave to take effect overnight, after which rinse thoroughly and then close the filter.
The next stage consists of sanitizing the filter. In the case of sand filters, repeat the procedure similar to the cleaning one but replacing with equal amounts of BLU FILTER CLEANER, OXICLOR 10 EVOLUTION or OXI CLEAR FILTER.
Similar procedure to use in diatom and cartridge filters.
Leave to take effect for at least 6 hours after which, rinse and put the system in “filtering” mode.
