| Why
You Should Clean Your Pool Filter Regularly By filter cleaning we are not referring to your regular backwashing and rinse routine, but rather the process of chemically cleaning your filter. Regular attention to your filter will result in better circulation in your pool, effective distribution of chemicals, less opportunity for corrosion and scaling. All in all, the result will be improved water clarity and that's what pool and spa owners strive for all season long. So remember to give your filter a little TLC this season. Not sure if your filter needs cleaning? A few surefire signs, including a cloudy appearance and a rise in pressure, will alert you to the fact that your filter needs some attention. You can see a pressure rise just from debris collecting on the filter, and it becomes more and more difficult for the pump to push the water through the filter." What ever sanitization system you use for your pool, it's important to maintain regular filter cleaning to keep all systems and products performing at their optimum. The point of the filter is to get rid of the particles in the water, so you're not going to do as good of a job if your filter is all gunked up. Backwash when the pressure increases 8-10 psi above the starting pressure. For sand filters be aware that backwashing too frequently will reduce the sand filter's performance, since a sand filter will trap smaller and smaller particles over time. So how do you best clean your filter? Every sand filter needs the addition of chemicals to "break down all the oils and greases. A cartridge filter needs to be hosed off, then soaked." To optimize filter operation, chemically clean the filter twice a season. A clean filter ensures better circulation, which means clearer, cleaner water. And who doesn't want that? And while it is true that backwashing and rinsing will eliminate grime that becomes stuck in the filter element, it just isn't enough (You can backwash on a regular basis, but you also need to chemically clean the filter). Using a filter cleaner such as BAQUACIL D.E. & Cartridge Filter Cleaner or BAQUACIL Sand Filter Cleaner dissolves and unplugs D.E. filter grids and cartridge elements. Though often overlooked, filter cleaning is a simple pool care procedure that, when performed, yields many benefits. An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure, so give the filter the care it deserves, and then get ready to make a splash. **A degreaser/TSP (trisodium phosphate) should not be used for filter cleaning with BaquaSpa or other biguanides. |
BAQUACIL POOL SANITIZING SYSTEMS |
BAQUACIL CDX™ System The BAQUACIL CDX System is an enhanced CHLORINE-FREE system specially formulated to maintain a consistent oxidizer residual in pool water. The oxidizer residual in pool water plays a significant role in removing contaminants that put a strain on the pool and keeping the pool clear all season long. This system is ideal for all pools.
For areas where algae problems are prevalent or in pools with a history of recurring algae, a preventative dose of BAQUACIL Algicide or BAQUACIL Performance Algicide may be added to the weekly CDX maintenance system during the hottest months of the summer.. Be sure to follow label directions for dosage recommendations.
The 2nd BAQUACIL Standard
System is a simple chlorine-free 3-step pool care system composed
of three core products:
BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat provides protection to swimmers against a wide variety of bacteria, while the BAQUACIL Algicide helps control the growth of unsightly algae in the water and the BAQUACIL Oxidizer breaks down swimmer waste and other organic material in the pool. 
The hands-off
approach to pool care. BAQUACIL AD (Automated Dosing)
is a chlorine-free, care-free, automated pool care system.
Digital technology eliminates the guess work of pool dosing.
Once programmed, the automated system dispenses daily doses
of the sanitizer, oxidizer and algaecide. The newly re-designed
BAQUACIL AD unit is attractive, child-proof and made of rigid
HDPE plastic that is UV light resistant. |
