Troubleshooting

Shock Treatment or Super Chlorination

In addition to your usual chlorine dosing schedule, you can shock treat the pool-water using Granular Shock.

This removes organic waste that can cause eye and skin irritations and produce unpleasant odours, and restores water clarity.

Algae Control

Occasionally, you will find some algae in your pool, despite the regular additions of chlorine that should kill most bacteria and algae.

This is easily removed by using Algicide and you should find that persistent algal growth will only be a problem if you don’t treat and test your pool on a regular basis.

Water Clarity

The pool-water will, at times, become cloudy due to small particles in the water that were too small to be removed by the filter.

To restore your pool-water, simply add Concentrated Clarifier, Flocculants or Clear Tabs - the choice is yours.The water will soon be clean and sparkling again so that you can relax and enjoy!Pool Surroundings You can reduce the amount of dirt and harmful bacteria in the pool-water by keeping the area around your pool clean. There are various patio cleaners etc. available.Filter Cleaning Dirt, scale, grease and other contaminants will build-up on your filter. Regular cleaning of the filter using a special cleaner will prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Liner and Tile Bands

A grimy mark, due to any cosmetics, body oils and dirt in the water, may build-up on the waterline of your pool. Regular cleaning with Relax Tile & Liner Cleaner will keep the sides of the pool dirt free but if there is stubborn staining, then the use of Relax Tile/Liner Cleaning Paste will help. The use of house-hold cleaners may lead to an adverse reaction with existing pool chemicals.

Leaking Pool


There will always be some loss of water from your pool through evaporation. But if the water loss is too great, there is a leak in the system (either due to the liner, pipework or concrete) and on these occasions you should consult your local swimming pool dealer.
