Summer is here and most outdoor pool owners have opened their pools ready. Open your pool using some shock chlorine or at least some extra chlorine to kill any living matter before adding the NoMoreAlgae. We have good supplies of HTH (HTHSuperfast Shock), liquid chlorine and our NoMoreAlgae. The shop is now open on Sunday mornings. Water Balance should be checked and adjusted as necessary. Another wet winter can cause the Calcium Hardness and Total Alkalinity levels to become depleted unless a substantial amount of fresh tap water is added when opening your pool. A water sample may be required if you want us to check the balance for you. We can offer full Balance check, plus “Total Dissolved Solids” and a report using the Spin Touch Photometer for just £10. The latest updates for the Spin have been installed with improved accuracy and includes test for phosphates. (Food for Algae) A quick check (non Spin test)is still free which is strongly recommended if you are just opening or closing your pool and not sure where to begin. Again a water sample will be required 100ml still mineral water bottle will be plenty.
We know several independent pool engineers in the local area who can professionally open and close your pool as well as carrying out maintenance tasks, sand and liner changes etc, for you as required at realistic prices but all good ones currently have fairly heavy workloads.
We have now upgraded to the latest version Spin Touch water balance photomoter. Now testing using 8 wavelengths rather than 6 from the old machine for even greater accuracy.
Cyanuric Acid, Copper and Iron - chlorine stabiliser, metals and phosphates.
Phosphates - Food for algae, often added by Water Board to combat metal from aging pipe work
We think it fair to charge a nominal £10 per test set (all 9 tests)
New software and firmware updating the original Spin has now been implemented. Phosphates are now included in the tests and overall accuracy has been enhanced
HTH (Fi-Clor) Pool Care Centre
We are pleased to have been stocking the new HTH Action 6 chlorine tablets. Sadly these tablets suffered availability problems. Results were excellent. We also do now have the new P6 tablets (competitive product at more realistic price.)
We will be offering some of the new re brand product as available but
may offer alternatives as we now have to buy through a distributor rather than direct. In most other cases we hope to supply same quality as before. The old “Superfast Shock” was a unique HTH product and will continue in the new HTH 4Kg, 1.6Kg or 1Kg pack sizes
New Fi-Clor HTH Advanced Cal Hypo Tablets.
New hexagonal slow release tablet ideal for indoor pools and overstabilised pools. 5Kg tub £59
