Water is very simple in its structure. It is just a two-molecule hydrogen with an oxygen molecule. However, the world is not one-dimensional and H2O is a good solvent. In its composition, you will not only find oxygen and hydrogen, but many anions and cations of various minerals. Water is also an ideal environment for the growth of various micro-organisms. Therefore, when owning a swimming pool, we have to fight against various ailments. Among these are a lack of transparency and uninteresting water colour.
Not everyone uses the municipal water supply. There are situations where we have our own water intake in the form of a well. This solution is becoming less common, but it is still encountered. Using deep water to fill a swimming pool involves certain risks.
A common occurrence is high iron concentrations. Many times very much above the standards set by the Minister of Health. Iron in water is mostly invisible. It precipitates as a brown precipitate in combination with chlorine.
The brown, rusty and sometimes yellow colouring is not only unsightly, but "unhealthy" for our pool system. Sediment can cause corrosion and clog the filter and pipes. This is why you need to react as quickly as possible. What should you do if the water turns brown?
Check the pH of your pool water using a suitable tester:
There are currently 3 measurement methods on the market for which you can use:
Tablet hand tester
Strip hand tester
Electric photometer
Adjust the pH to the appropriate level:
Depending on the readings you obtained when measuring the water with the tester, you must now bring the pH of the pool water to a level of 7.0 - 7.4. It is in this range that the chlorine will work optimally achieving its maximum chemical effectiveness.
Of course, to lower the pH of the water, use pH Minus and to raise the pH of the water, use pH Plus accordingly.
Thoroughly rinse your pool filter:
This point is quite often forgotten by customers, and undoubtedly regular rinsing of the filter, is a guarantee of keeping the bed in good condition and of optimal water flow through the pool filter.
With moderate use of the pool, the filter should be flushed once every 14 days, while with increased occupancy it should be flushed once every 7 days.
1. Switch off the filter pump in the electrical cabinet ("0" position).
2. Turn the 6-way valve to position 2 "rinse"
3. Switch on the filter pump on the electrical cabinet (position "R") for a time of approx. 2-3min.
4. After 2-3min, switch off the pump and turn the valve handle to position 3 "laying".
5. Switch on the filter pump on the electrical cabinet (position "R") for a time of approx. 15-30 sec.
6. After 15-30 seconds, switch off the pump and turn the valve handle to position 1 "filtration".
7. Switch on the filter pump on the electrical cabinet (position "Z").
The filter has been flushed out.
Use an iron remover:
Carry out shock chlorination - use shock chlorine:
This procedure is nothing more than a sudden increase in the chlorine content of the water, thanks to which we will eliminate all the micro-organisms that are present in the pool.
So-called 'chlorination' is another way of saying a breaking point, which will give you the effect of crystal-clear pool water.
Procedure (with filtration switched on)
Apply coagulant in the form of cartridges:
Along with the application of the shock chlorination discussed earlier, include a flocculant in cartridges in the operation as well - this will aid the crystallisation of the water and cause the dirt to clump together in so-called 'clusters' - in other words, it will improve the filtration process.
Note: After the coagulant has been applied, the pool filter will (plan) become dirty more quickly and will need to be rinsed out more quickly.
Filtruj basen przez 48 godzin:
Po wykonaniu całej procedury włącz filtrację na 48 godzin, niech wszelkie zanieczyszczenia zatrzymią się w filtrze. Po tym czasie ponownie go wypłucz.

Sometimes it happens that when chlorine is added to the water, it turns green. Contrary to appearances, this is not algae, but actually iron.
A brown colour does not always mean iron. There are times when the brown colour appears after a longer period of time and not immediately after filling. The uninteresting colour of the water may be related to high levels of organic substances in the water.
Where do they come from? They probably come from decomposing plant matter, i.e. leaves. We could also have 'brought them in' with us while bathing. There are lots of different compounds on our bodies. An incorrect dosage of chemistry, will also produce unwanted 'elements'. The result is that the water becomes brownish-yellow. How do we restore its crystal colour?

Remember that using only high-quality chemicals in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations is a guarantee of crystal-clear water. In addition, do not forget about filtration and mechanical cleaning. Nothing is constant in nature, and certainly not water, which is affected by many different external factors.
There can be many reasons for this. Water from the waterworks, although it passes tests, can happen to contain significant amounts of iron.
There is no other way to precipitate iron out of the water than by using special pool chemicals
Basically, no. Brown water is unsightly but perfectly safe for health. In addition, it can have a metallic smell, which causes discomfort for some.

Jestem bardzo zadowolona z usług tej firmy. Każdy nam odmawiał pomocy, nawet firma montująca basen. Pool system zjawił się i doprowadził basen sprzed paru lat do stanu używalności, co więcej dokonał napraw uszczelniających co spowodowało ze basen stał się w pełni sprawny. Naprawdę polecam !
Bardzo miła i sympatyczna obsługa oraz fachowe doradztwo techniczne.
Bardzo profesjonalna i cierpliwa obsługa. Odbierają telefony, wszystko dokładnie wytłumaczą, wysyłają praktycznie na drugi dzień każdą część którą potrzebuje klient. Pan Krzysztof z serwisu rzetelnie podpowie co zrobić i jak rozwiązać swój basenowy problem, jeśli chcemy majstrować przy basenie sami. Pan Paweł i Marcin też skarbnica wiedzy technologii basenowej. Dobre ceny. Polecam firmę i pozdrawiam zespół POOLSYSTEM
Jak budujesz basen to to miejsce jest dla ciebie, osprzęt, doradztwo i miła obsługa.
Super obsługa doradzi pomoże,ceny na duży plus .Polecam
Bardzo mili ludzie, to naprawdę profesjonaliści. Nie lubię zakupów, ale spotkanie z Nimi było bardzo przyjemne.
