 PoolSan
is a saturated complex ionic aqueous solution containing chiefly Copper,
Zinc, Gold, Silver, Aluminium, Manganese, Iron and Nitrogen. PoolSan
completely eliminates the need for chlorine, algaecides and
flocculants in treating your swimming pool water. The microscopic action
of these natural mineral ions with the algae and bacteria are twofold.
First, the algae and bacteria in the
water are destroyed through a change in their enzyme processes as the
ions break down their DNA structures and cell walls.
Secondly, all these charged particles
floc together so they can be trapped by a filter. The ions maintain a
stable “PoolSan” residual in the water until they are used up by
this process.
* Water sanitised solely by PoolSan
was tested on a weekly basis during a two year public trial and the
results of the testing carried out by an independent health protection
laboratory showed it to consistently meet the BSI Code of Practise
PAS39:2003 – Management of Public Swimming Pools throughout the testing
period

A typical procedure |
Typically a swimming pool with a volume of 50,000 litres of water only
needs to be dosed with one litre of PoolSan every 4 weeks and 1kg
of PoolSan
Regenerator every week when the
pool is in constant use or one kg every 4 weeks when the pool is not in
constant use. The pH needs to be tested using the PoolSan Test
strips and maintained at between 6.8 and 7.4 with 7.2 being the desired
target. This can be done as and when necessary using the pH+ and pH-
powders in the PoolSan complete pool care kit. The PoolSan
solution is dosed by pouring half the dosage amount directly into the
filter intake and pouring the other half of the dosage amount evenly
around the pool. The PoolSan
Regenerator is dosed by scattering
the powder over the pool with two thirds being scattered over the deep
end while the filter is running. The PoolSan
Regenerator then needs to be left
to dissolve for 15 minutes before bathing can resume.
The residual level of PoolSan is
to be monitored by testing the water for copper content, using the
PoolSan test strips. The target level is 0.4-0.8mg/l of copper. It
should be noted that the UK and EU maximum allowable limit for copper in
drinking water is 2.0mg/l, so your pool water would be well within this
limit.
The advantages and desired effect of
this pool treatment solution will be to improve the quality of the
swimming pool water and drastically reduce the exposure of swimmers and
lifeguards to chlorine and its irritating and harmful effects such as
asthmatic conditions. |

Dosage Guidelines
for PoolSan.
In all cases below, ensure the pH level remains within the recommended
levels of 6.8 to 7.4 (target 7.2).
The below dosages are based on an initial copper reading of 0.0 in the pool
water.
PoolSan
25,000 litres = initial dose 400 ml
30,000 litres = initial dose 500 ml
60,000 litres = initial dose 1 litre
90,000 litres = initial dose 1.5 litre
120,000 litres = initial dose 2 litres
150,000 litres = initial dose 2.5 litres
300,000 litres = initial dose 5 litres
This table shows the approximate amount of PoolSan required to raise the
copper level by 0.1mg/l (ppm).
25,000 litres = PoolSan dose 50 ml
30,000 litres = PoolSan dose 60 ml
60,000 litres = PoolSan dose 120 ml
90,000 litres = PoolSan dose 180 ml
120,000 litres = PoolSan dose 240 ml
150,000 litres = PoolSan dose 300 ml
300,000 litres = PoolSan dose 600 ml
Therefore if the copper reading in a 30,000ltr pool is 0.3 and you wish to
raise the level to 0.6 add 180ml of PoolSan.
Typically a swimming pool with a volume
of 50,000 litres of water only needs to be dosed with up to one litre of
PoolSan every 4 weeks and up to 1kg of PoolSan Regenerator every week when
the pool is in constant use or up to one kg every 4 weeks when the pool is
not in constant use. I.E. during the low season the pool will use
significantly less of both products with regenerator becoming unnecessary
during the winter months.
The pH needs to be tested using the
PoolSan Test strips and maintained at between 6.8 and 7.4 with 7.2 being the
desired target. This can be done as and when necessary using the pH+ and pH-
powders in the PoolSan complete pool care kit.
The PoolSan solution is dosed by pouring
half the dosage amount directly into the filter intake and pouring the other
half of the dosage amount evenly around the pool.
The PoolSan Regenerator is dosed by
scattering the powder over the pool with two thirds being scattered over the
deep end while the filter is running. The PoolSan Regenerator then needs to
be left to dissolve for 15 minutes before bathing can resume.
The residual level of PoolSan is to be
monitored by testing the water for copper content, using the PoolSan test
strips. The target level is 0.4-0.8mg/l of copper. It should be noted that
the UK and EU maximum allowable limit for copper in drinking water is
2.0mg/l, so your pool water would be well within this limit.
The advantages and desired effect of
this pool treatment solution will be to improve the quality of the swimming
pool water and drastically reduce the exposure of swimmers and lifeguards to
chlorine and its irritating and harmful effects such as asthmatic
conditions.
For regeneration of
PoolSan & shock dosing of pool water
Treats cloudy or green water and leaves your pool sparkling and clear.
PoolSan Regenerator dissolves rapidly to break down pollutants in the
water such as bather waste.
Use PoolSan Regenerator at the first sign of cloudy or green water.
it helps to restore the activity of PoolSan Chlorine Free pool treatment
so that it works to best effect as a pool sanitizer breaking down
organic matter.
Instructions
1. PoolSan Regenerator can be dosed directly into the pool water. It
should be used when bathing has ceased, bathing can resume 15 minutes
after application.
2. Calculate the volume of water in your pool.
3. The dose rate is 200g of PoolSan Regenerator to 10,000 litres (2,200
imperial gallons) of pool water.
4. Dose into the pool where there is good water movement, or evenly over
the surface of the water.
5. Use once a week when pool is in use or once every four weeks when the
pool is not in use.
6. High volume bather pools, commercial, may need to treat with PoolSan
Regenerator more frequently. This can be checked by testing oxygen
levels, that should be between 3.0 – 8.0 mg/l (ppm) using appropriate
tester.
7. If the pool water is cloudy or looks green on inspection, dose the
pool with 200g of PoolSan Regenerator per 10,000 litres of pool water.
PoolSan Regenerator volumes
25,000 litres = initial dose 500g
30,000 litres = initial dose 600g
50,000 litres = initial dose 1 kg
90,000 litres = initial dose 1.8 kg
120,000 litres = initial dose 2.4 kg
150,000 litres = initial dose 3 kg
300,000 litres = initial dose 6 kg
Dosage levels are only a guide. Regularly test pool water.
