Removal of iron from the swimming pool water
Iron may get into swimming pool water when the pool is filled up with water, but frequently also due to corrosion of ferrous parts of the system, e. g. of galvanised iron pipes or from stainless steel mounting parts. Most waterworks completely remove the iron contained in natural waters and provide water which is largely iron-free. However, iron can still get into the water on its way to the consumer, for instance if the community piping system still includes iron pipes. For this reason, the water analyses of waterworks in regard to the iron content are not representative for any tangible case.
Even higher levels of iron can be detected in well water, which is usually not connected to iron removal systems.
The consequences of iron in swimming pool water are:
It is recommended to remove iron from the water when starting with the water treatment, i. e. immediately after filling up the pool, particularly in order to prevent residues on the pool wall and floors.
Complete removal of iron is possible with the use of a sand filter system and by flocculation with Superflock Plus. The procedure used in this case is as follows:
Normally, the success of the procedure can easily be observed: As early as a few hours after placing a Superflock in the skimmer or prefilter of the pump , the cloudiness begins to disappear and/or greenish coloured water changes to a bluish colour.
If the iron is not eliminated immediately after the appearance of precipitations, it will become even more difficult to remove it. Newly formed stains on the walls and the floor can be re-dissolved by adding 30 ml Calcinex per m³. In case of older precipitations, it may be necessary to empty the pool completely and clean the walls and the floor with Decalcit Super.
The same applies if manganese is present in the filling water in certain areas. Manganese can be recognised if the water turns dark, almost black, after adding a disinfectant.
Complete removal with Superflock Plus is, however, only possible for iron.
Copper Removal
Removal of copper with Superflock Plus
Copper may be present in swimming pool water by adding algaecides or algae killers containing copper, but more frequently it comes from corrosion of periphery parts containing copper, such as heat exchangers and bronze and brass pumps or fittings.
Information: Copper may already be present in the water the pool was filled up with, the maximum level is 3 mg/l according to the German Drinking Water Directive. Please check with your local authorities what the level is in your area.
Copper in higher concentrations may cause black spots on the liner, black spots on peripheral parts such as ladders or inlets, and in some cases a green staining of blond hair.
In the past, it was recommended to replace copper contaminated water completely. However, with the use of Superflock Plus, it is possible to completely remove copper from the water by following the below mentioned procedure:
