Oxy Pool for Everday Problems with Swimming Pools

Oxy Pool provides over three times the available oxygen than the most widely used non-chlorine products like potassium monopersulfate, which is sold at a similar price. Oxy Pool

For Removal of Algae in Pools

Oxy-Pool (sodium percarbonate is the main ingredient) at a concentration of 80-100 ppm (About one pound per 1000 gallons of water) achieves good clarification of algae infested water (which often appears as a whitish haze).

When added to water, Oxy-Pool immediately disassociates to natural soda ash (essentially inert except for slightly increasing the pH of the water) and hydrogen peroxide which oxidizes algae and other organic matter.

Oxy Pool can be used in all types of pools, but is ideally suited for vinyl lined pools and will not attack or bleach out the lining’s color. (Other products, like chlorine releasing compounds tend to discolor and deteriorate vinyl liners over time.)

Oxy-Pool is compatible with the more expensive Quat algaecides, and can be economically used to pretreat an algae infested pool 2-3 days prior to the use of normal treatment methods.

NOTE: OXY-Pool may raise pH - pH levels should be monitored closely when using this product!

Oxy Pool as an Organic Contaminant Oxidizer (Pool Shock)

Pool contaminants can be introduced from a variety of sources.

These are generally recognized as bather wastes like urine, perspiration, cosmetic products, sunscreens and lotions.

But they also include organic contaminants that can be introduced through wind and rain, such as dust, pollen, insects, leaves, plant and grass debris and airborne pollutants.

To help keep pools clear and free of organic contaminants chlorine releasing additives are quite often used. However, as contaminants build up in the pool water, they combine with chlorine as part of the oxidation process to produce chloramide compounds, which can lead to a foul smell as well as cloudy and dull appearing water.

Oxy-Pool overcomes this problem as it uses oxygen instead of chlorine bleach. The advantage to oxidation without chlorine is that there is no added production of chloramides and if a non-chlorine releasing agent is being used sanitizing efficiency is increased without raising the chlorine level.

Regular preventive use with Oxy-Pool, will give you better water quality, longer periods of uninterrupted swim time, less eye and skin irritation and a more manageable maintenance schedule.

Oxy-Pool provides over three times the available oxygen than the most widely used non-chlorine products like potassium monopersulfate, which is sold at a similar price.

Oxy-Pool as a Control for High Chlorine Levels

In pools that use chlorine releasing additives bathers breathe small amounts of chlorine gas and also absorb chlorine through the skin.

In fact, a 2003 study published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine links regular swimming in chlorinated pools to asthma in children.

Chlorine is a skin irritant, which is a problem especially for those with allergies and skin sensitivities as well as the general public.

Oxy Pool is effective in reducing levels of chlorine in pools. At a level of 5-6 ounces per 10,000 gallons of pool water it will remove 0.2-0.5 ppm of free chlorine.
