Product information
Superflock liquid, 1,00 l ,
Liquid turbidity remover for sand filters
USAGE: Water care product. Superflock liquid ensures that even the finest suspended particles are bundled to larger clumps. The filter can catch these flakes in the sand and, in the course of the next backwashing, remove them from the system. This product is NOT suitable for cartridge filters.
For private swimming pools only.
DOSAGE: The pH-value of the water has to be between 7.0 and 7.4 to get the best results. The flocculation acts optimally only during the filtration process directly in the feed line, therefore flocculants should never be given directly into the pool. Add at least 0.15 ml per m³ of circulated swimming pool water by use of a dosage pump. The amount of the addition depends on the number of visitors and the circulation time. To sharpen the sand filter, pour 100 - 200 ml Superflock liquid per 10 m³ of swimming pool water slowly into the skimmer while the circulation pump is running. Then shutdown the circulating pump immediately for ca. 15 min., so that flakes can form. Afterwards filter as long as the turbidity is eliminated. If turbidity is still not fully eliminated, backwash filter and repeat the addition.
FAQs from category Flocculants:
Cause: Lime precipitates, not filtered particles
Solution: Adjust the pH level to 7.2 to 7.4 (by adding pH-Plus or pH-Minus). If there are suspended matters turn off the circulation pump and remove the flakes on the bottom with the pool cleaner after about 10-12 hours. Lime precipitates in the pool water (turbidity, shimmering white coating on the water surface, etc.) usually disappear shortly after adjusting the pH level and after the addition of a flocculants (while the filter system is running - WARNING: prohibited with cartridge filter systems and filter balls; the filter can stick!). Backwash thoroughly. Clean cartridge filter or replace by a new one.
Possible Causes: Faulty filter function, too many organic substances
Solution: Backwashing. If the filter system is calcified, use an acidic filter cleaner. If the filter system is ok, make a shock chlorination, meaning raise the chlorine level of the pool water up to 3 mg/l for a short time. The addition of flocculant is recommended as an additional measure (WARNING: prohibited with cartridge filter systems and filter balls; the filter can stick!). Backwash thoroughly. Clean cartridge filter or replace by a new one.
Possible cause: Too little disinfectant in the water, algae growth
Solution: Adjust the pH level to 7.2 to 7.4 by adding pH-Plus or pH-Minus. Let the filter system run continuously during the first 1-2 days. For disinfection with chlorine: Wipe dead algae from the pool walls. Remove algae from bottom with a brush and an aspirator. Make a shock chlorination, meaning raise the chlorine level of the pool water up to 3 mg/l. The addition of an algae protection is recommended. Backwash thoroughly. The added chlorine has degraded after a few days. Backwash thoroughly. If the water is not clear after 1-2 days, repeat the procedure. Cartridge filter system: Frequently clean or replace the cartridge. Alternatively, empty the pool completely, clean thoroughly and refill. After adjusting the pH value, treat the pool water with algicide to prevent new algae grow.
Possible cause: Iron deposits in the water
Solution: Adjust the pH level to 7.2 to 7.4 by adding pH-Plus or pH-Minus. Add flocculant. (WARNING: prohibited with cartridge filter systems and filter balls; the filter can stick!) Extend the filter runtime, backwash the filter system thoroughly. In the case of a cartridge filter system, clean the cartridge regularly and replace it if necessary.
Possible cause: Inadequate chlorine dosing, non-degraded organic substances
Solution: Adjust the pH level to 7.0 to 7.4 by adding pH-Plus or pH-Minus. After a shock chlorination up to ca. 3 mg/l this smell will disappear after a short time.
Possible cause: Inadequate chlorine dosing, non-degraded organic substances
Solution: Adjust the pH level to 7.0 to 7.4 by adding pH-Plus or pH-Minus. If there is too little chlorine in the water, increase the chlorine content. If the chlorine content is too high, reduce the dosage or drain the pool water and refill with fresh water. Again, pay attention to the pH value.
Take a bucket of warm water, add the required amount of chemical for your pool and stir well. Then empty the bucket with the mixture evenly into the pool with the filter system switched on (circulating).
