Steps for treating and converting a new filtered portable pool with Sanit-eezy:
Step 1:
- EEZY SANITISER is NOT compatible with chlorine or bromine. For first time use, add CHLORINE REMOVER initially to pool water 2 hours prior to adding Eezy Sanitiser.
- Dilute 25gms per 2,000 litres of Chlorine Remover in a bucket of water.
- Run the circulation pump and add the Chlorine Remover.
- Run for 2 hours prior to adding any other chemicals.
- Chlorine Remover should always be added if pool is topped up or is refilled as Chlorine may be present in the tap water.
Step 2:
- For first time use, add the non-chlorine shock treatment at the rate 50gm per 10,000 litres.
- For regular use, the shock treatment must be added weekly at 50gm per 10,000 litres
- It should also be added if the water is looking cloudy.
- Take care not to over dose with the shock treatment. The pool water may develop a green tinge if large doses are added, however the water is fine to use and should clear in 7 to 10 days.
Step 3:
- For first time use, add Eezy Sanitiser at the rate of 60mls per 10,000 litres of water (one cap equates to approximately 20mls). NOTE: Water may turn cloudy but this will clear in 2 to 3 days.
- For regular use, Eezy Sanitiser must be added weekly at 60mls per 10,000 litres.
- Water must be tested frequently with a Biguanide test kit, particularly after heavy pool usage.
- Eezy Sanitiser (Biguanide) should be maintained between15-20 ppm. If levels are low after testing, add more Eezy Sanitiser or rebalance the water as necessary.
IMPORTANT: Take care not to overdose with Eezy Sanitiser as water will become cloudy and may smell.
Step 4:
- 1 day after the first dose of Eezy Sanitiser, add the water clarifier at the recommended dosage.
- Continue to add weekly at 60mls per 10,000 litres to maintain water clarity.
Step 5:
- All water filters require cleaning or changing. Check the filter regularly to determine if it needs cleaning.
- Filters must be cleaned at least weekly or if water has become cloudy.
- To clean the filter, remove the filter cartridge and follow the directions on the Filtrite filter cleaner labelling.
