Various microorganisms always appear in the water of any basin over time, but at the same time algae proliferate in it. They have a blue-green color and are cyanobacteria. Algae in most cases have excellent resistance to chlorine, since this substance cannot penetrate the resulting dense shell, which is obtained due to their large accumulation. It was to combat large colonies of cyanobacteria that the Algitinn drug was created for the pool. It is available as a liquid concentrate. Chlorine is still the best substance that is designed to combat algae, although the required concentration is much higher than if it was required to destroy microorganisms. At the same time, the right amount remains at a level that does not harm swimming people.
The action of liquid concentrate
The substance "Algitinn" for the pool is not intended to destroy algae. It prevents their growth. In addition, this effect lasts a large amount of time. As a result, the water in the pool is clarified. This effect is achieved due to the destruction of the protective film of cyanobacteria, therefore, the disinfectant effectively does its job. It is recommended to use the drug "Algitinn" for the pool before the artificial pond is very overgrown. But if, nevertheless, this happened, then in this case the liquid concentrate is an additional component, which allows a large concentration of chlorine to fulfill its purpose. Maintaining a constant level of matter in the pool is very easy, as it does not collapse from exposure to sunlight.
The composition, effect on the person and the price of the product
The substance "Algitinn" for the pool is made on the basis of ammonium, or rather, from its Quaternary compounds. Their composition contains 10%. The liquid concentrate is algicide and pH neutral. At the same time, it does not contain absolutely any chlorine, and also heavy metals are not included in its composition. This, in turn, eliminates the side effects for the human body, but at the same time with such indicators, its cost increases compared to other similar drugs.
Aids for mixing with pool fluid
Using a special measuring device, it is recommended to add the Algitinn preparation to the water. Instructions for use of the product recommends using also for these purposes an automatic device that allows you to add the substance in controlled doses. Direct mixing of algicide with water takes place in the swimming pool itself. But it must be remembered that such operations should be performed at a time when the circulation pump of the artificial reservoir is working. In addition, the process is carried out precisely near the place where the liquid medium is supplied to the pool.
The drug "Algitinn." Instructions for use
One of the tips for owners of swimming pools of any type is that it is recommended to dissolve the liquid concentrate of algaecide in water before adding it to the swimming facility, while it is necessary to use a separate container. During this action, the initial concentration of the drug should be reduced by about 3-5 times. As a result of the completed processes, a solution is obtained, it must be combined with pool water in the vicinity of triski (nozzles). Such places are mainly gratings through which fluid is supplied from the circulation pump. You can also perform these actions in several places at once, but at the same time it is necessary to avoid direct contact with the filters if possible.
Algicide Dosage Recommendations
Today, there are several ways to treat a pool, which directly depend on the concentration of cyanobacteria in it:
- Processing as usual. During this process, the Algitinn non-foaming preparation is recommended to be added in an amount of 50 ml to an artificial body of water, which belongs to the open type, and for an indoor pool the dosage is 30 ml. In this case, the amount of funds is indicated for every 10 cubic meters of liquid. The procedure must be performed once a week.
- Impact processing. During such an operation, 150 ml of algaecide is added for every 10 cubic meters of water. The process is performed as needed.
- If a large amount of cyanobacteria has accumulated in the pool, that is, it is heavily overgrown with algae, it is recommended in this situation to initially treat the liquid medium with ten tablets of “Chloritex” for every 10 cubic meters of water. Then after about 10-12 hours, adhering to the same ratio, add 250 ml of algaecide. After performing this type of processing, a technical break is required during which the artificial reservoir will not function for 12 hours.
Algicide Dosage Table for Proper Water CareDoses of the drug, ml | The volume of the artificial swimming pool in meters cu. |
