MANUAL FOR THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF SWIMMING POOLS

The heart of a pool is the filter. To get the most out of bafry® Pool D1 products, the filter has to be in optimal conditions. The best "sand" is zeolites. Washed quartz sand can also be used. The purification pump must have a capacity that allows it to purify the entire volume of water in the pool in 4 - 6 hours.

Recirculation

The passage of water from the basin to the treatment plant will be done using perimeter overflows or skimmers. To achieve a correct recirculation, the extraction and return system must be placed in such a way that there is no "dead zone". The circulating water has to reach the filter through the skimmer and through the bottom to the filter. A return through the skimmer of 70 % and through the bottom of 30 % is recommended.

Pool Cleaners

It is necessary to clean the bottom and the walls of the pool with a pool cleaner. After each cleaning of the bottom and walls it is necessary to wash the filter.

Flocculant

Wind and rain bring in dirt of organic and inorganic origin. Bathers bring germs, parasites and particles such as hair, cream, etc. into the water. Many of these impurities are so small that they cannot be retained by the filter and therefore continue to float in suspension. If this amount increases, the water becomes cloudy. To avoid this process, it is advisable to use a coagulant flocculant. The flocculant has the ability to agglomerate the smallest particles to a larger size until they can be retained by the sand. By washing the filter, these particles will be removed. For large pools it is advisable to install a dosing pump that doses the necessary amount of flocculant.

Cleaning the filter

The impurities retained in the filter must be removed by washing the filter. To achieve perfect filtration frequent washing is necessary. This removes all impurities and helps to eliminate bacteria and lower the dose of BafrPoolD1.

Frequency of filter cleaning

Pools with a high frequency of bathers: every 2 days.  Pools with a low frequency of bathers: every 4 days.

pH regulation and adjustment

The exact control and adjustment of the pH is of the utmost importance. The correct pH is responsible for the quality of the water and the consumption of bafry® PoolD1.  The tap water used to fill the pool has on average a pH of 6.5 - 6.8 and a temperature between 5 - 15 º C. The increase in the temperature of the pool water to between 25 and 29º C has the consequence that the CO2 that is in the water precipitates. The water loses acidity and becomes alkaline, that is, the pH increases. To lower the pH, bafry® pH - MENOS is used.  The ideal pH is 6.5 - 6.8. Never add sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite because they raise the pH and cause incrustations! For large pools it is advisable to add bafry® pH - MENOS by means of a dosing pump.

Algae

Normally it is not necessary to add an algaecide when caring for the pool with bafry® Pool D1. The constant and correct amount of bafry® Pool D1 guarantees good and healthy water without the formation of algae.

However, some factors favor the formation of algae:
High water temperature.
Lack of cleaning of the bottom and walls of the pool.
Poor filtration, dirty filters.
Foreign elements in the water such as dirt, leaves, pollen, insects, etc.
To eliminate algae use bafry® POOL ALGEZID.

Pool commissioning

Regardless of whether it is a new pool or one that was running with other products previously, the following conditions should be observed:
• Changing the water
If the water is green, it must be changed. If the water has been maintained during the winter with special winter treatment products, the water must be overdosed with bafry® D1 and filtered for at least 24 hours, washing the filter frequently.

- Changing the sand
The best way would be to change the sand, that is to say, to put the zeolites in directly. If neither the sand nor the zeolites are changed, it is necessary to wash and disinfect the sand to avoid traces of chlorine or other products in the sand that prevent the bafry® D1 from working perfectly.

- Flocculant
The flocculant helps clean the water. In the case of using a flocculant, the filter must be washed several times.

- Cleaning
In the event that the pool is emptied, the walls, bottom and stairs must be cleaned thoroughly.

- Filling with tap water
The chlorine contained in tap water does not prevent the disinfectant from working properly.

- pH regulation
As the temperature of the water rises, the pH also rises. It is necessary to adjust it (see paragraph on pH).

- Starting the treatment
When all these conditions have been met, bafry® D1 should be applied in 4 different points of the pool, leaving the purifier running (for at least 6 hours).
