At Cleanall when faced with symptoms of swimming pool water problems we use the latest technology and look at all of the evidence available before making a diagnosis. We are often asked about common problems and below are a few of the most frequently asked questions for your information. However, as we are committed to custumer safety we always advise you to call out one of our pool professionals who will be able to diagnose and deal with any problem.
Symptom Black Spots
Diagnosis These are caused by black algae.
Cure Unfortunately, black algae is very tenacious and will require quite a
bit of effort to remove. For minor problems, try persistant brushing combined
with a good black algaecide. You will also need to clean the filter thoroughly.
If the problem is more major, you may need to drain the pool and chlorine
wash however we do not recomend the draining of swimming pools. Do not hesitate
to contact Cleanall who can deal with this problem.
Symptom Rusty red coloured water
Diagnosis Pipes or other steel/iron-containing fittings in the circulation
system are being corroded by a high water acidity (low pH level.) The corroded
particles are then oxidised by chlorine shock doses and this causes rust.
Cure Act quickly to prevent the liner being stained and other damage. Contact
your pool dealer / installer and see whether you can drain down and replace
the water all at once or whether you need to use progressive dilution. Use
a good liner and tile cleaner to remove any rust stains.
Prevention Replace the offending metal fittings with PVC or copper. Ensure
that the water has a pH and total alkalinity level within recommended limits.
