Water Filter For Pools with Skimmers Eliminates the use of chemicals with little or no chlorine. Typically lasts 3-5 months.
Disk fits directly into pool skimmer. No plumbing or installation required.
One disk will handle up to 15,000 gallons of pool volume.
Size: 5 5/8" x 1"
Directions for Use
Water flowing through the Spa Converter or Pool Converter is what makes it work. A pool or spa needs to circulate the water to provide maximum contact with the disk. The best way to do this is to circulate the water for at least 12 continuous hours each day at 10 gpm in spas or the normal flow rate for pools 24 hours 7 days a week.
Do not allow suctioning except at the skimmer or wherever the disk is placed. If 12 continuous hours is not possible, use the pump to circulate the water for two, 2-hour periods daily AND run the pump at low speed for at least 30 minutes after each spa use.
Don't worry about pH with the disks. They regulate themselves usually between 7.6 and 8 and occasionally from 7.4 to 8.2. Chemicals intended to control pH severely reduce the disk's efficiency. Most pH parameters for pools and spas are based on using chlorine and are not relevant when the disk is used.
Likewise, the disks tend to regulate water's softness. The main reason water is hard is that calcium is present. The Spa Converter and Pool Converter do not remove calcium, but they make the water act softer by changing calcium's cellular morphology so that it cannot adhere to a surface. The calcium does not deposit scale on surfaces.
If you test the water for softness in a Spa Converter or Pool Converter treated pool or spa, the test will show any calcium present because it does not distinguish between calcium's various morphologies.
There are no health issues with the disk's capacity to make water act softer. Using chemicals to soften the water, in addition to the disk, will restrict the efficiency and life of the disk. In normal operating conditions using the disk, no chemicals are needed for softening.
The Pool Converter for pools comes with a black disk guard designed to capture sediment. If the guard becomes clogged, it decreases the flow of water through the disk. Keep the guard clean by peeling it from the disk, washing it in water and replacing on the top of the disk.
The Spa Converter for spas does not have a disk guard because spas usually have sediment filters to remove debris, soap or oil. Check your Spa Converter periodically to make sure it is not clogged as this would reduce the flow of water through the disk. If you notice debris or material on the disk, remove the disk, clean it with water and replace it.
