Products for maintaining fountains and pools
The procedure of cleaning and disifecting pools and maintaining the water
After thorough mechanical cleaning of the pool, washing, removal of the scales and disinfection are highly suggested, as well as preliminary control of the fresh water.
Washing and scale removal can be done both by hand and machine – using devices for pressurized washing or foam generators. We consider this method the most efficient and economic one.
Suggested products for certain cleaning and disinfection phases:
- For hand washing and scale removal, it is suggested to use „Lactochem SK“. It is used undiluted and it is applied directly on the surface. After 10-15 min., rinse the surfaces.
- For machine washing and scale removal – „Acidopen“. It is used according to the guidelines by the equipment manufacturers, or with consultation with „Hemodom“ experts.
- For combined treatmant, washing, scale removal and disinfection, use „Akvalit“. The product is used diluted (2%) and should be left for 15-20 minutes on the surface and then rinsed.
After refilling the pool, thorough rinsing is required.
Procedure with freshly poured water
Before adding any kind of disinfectant or algicide into the water, before the first pool filling, or later during use, be sure to measure the pH value of the water (using adequate pH paper or a standard pH control set). The ideal pH value lies between 7.1 and 7.4. pH correction is done using „pH +“ or „pH -“ correctors. A larger water pH value can induce irritation of eyes, itching and skin redness. It is usually a consequence of overuse of chlorine based substances. It can also induce the creation of scales (when pH>7.6), which can manifest as white layers on the equipment and pool floor and walls. In the cases of pH being smaller than 7, there is no risk for human skin, but certain metal parts of pool equipment (pipe constructions, pump parts and filters) may corrode. It is suggested to keep the pH value of water between 7.1 and 7.4 using the adequate pH correctors, and then add algicides or chlorine based substances. pH control should be done during the first filling of the pool, daily – during the first couple of days, and once per week after that. Freshly brought water should be disinfected instantly and you should make sure that it does not get reinfected and that algae do not appear as well. Disinfection is to be done using „Hemosept“. The recommended dose is 2g/m3. Hemosept is a chlorine based product (Sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate) and is a very efficient disinfectant. For prolonged disinfection as well as prevention of creation of algae, we suggest „Algicid“. This product is based on benzalkonioum chloride – a cationactive substance of a wide effect spectrum on bacteria and algae. It is added in amounts of (15-20)g/m3.

Aqualit
A product for washing, scale removal and disinfection of pool walls and equipment.
The product is directly applied on the surface using a sponge or by spraying. After 10-15 minutes, the surfaces should be rinsed with water.

Algicid
A product for algae growth prevention in pools.
During the first filling of the pool with fresh water, an amount of (15-20)g/m3 of the product is added, after the control and, if needed, correction of water pH.
During use of the pool, 10g/m3 is added.

Hemosept
Hemosept
A product for general sanitation and disinfection of water.
Ingredients:
100g of the granulate contains 99g Sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate
Physical and chemical characteristics:
White granules of a specific scent similar to that of chlorine, easily and completely dissolvable in water, with an extremely high bactericidal effect on bacteries, fungi, algae and certain types of viruses.
Application:
1. General sanitation in public institutions, food industry, healthcare, veterinary, individual households, farms etc.
a) Working concentration:
For regular sanitation or disinfection of surfaces, a water solution of „Hemosept“, prepared just before use, should be used. It is enough to dissolve 2g of „Hemosept“ per 10l of water, which can release active chlorine in concentration of around 100 mg/l. Thusly prepared solution is usable for the next 6-8 hours. In the situation of extremely exacerbated hygienic conditionse (epidemic, natural disasters), for disinfection of earthen floors in animal facilities, disinfection of faeces and preparation of disinfecting barriers, the concentration should be doubled (4g/10l).
b) Working time
Depending on the contamination degree of the surface, the needed effect time varies from 3 minutes to 2 hours.
In the case of extreme contamination – repeat the disinfection procedure.
2. Disinfection of water in pools
It is performed with consultations with experts from our company.

Lactochem SK
A product for removing scales and corrosion from ceramic and chromed surfaces.
Contents and purpose of the product:
„Lactochem SK“ is a liquid, acidic product, based on mineral acids and surfactants.
Application method:
It is used for hand cleaning of ceramic and chromed surfaces and removal of scales and corrosion traces. The product is applied with a sponge or brushes, left for 10 minutes and then rinsed with fresh water. If needed, repeat the process. Use protective work equipment for acids (rubber gloves).

pH "-" korektor
pH – corrector
„pH - “ corrector is a powdery product designed to lower the pH value of water in pools.
It does not contain mineral acid, it is easily and completely soluble in water. In the case of pH getting over 7.4, a „pH-“ corrector should be applied. For lowering the pH by 0.2, 15g of corrector is needed per 1m3 of water.
The measured amount of corrector should be disolved in water and the solution should be poured directly to the pool, at several places. A pump should be turned on for better homogenization. Guidelines on dosage, storage and precaution measures, found on each package, must be followed.

pH "+" korektor
pH + corrector
„pH+“ corrector is a powdery product designed to increase the pH value of water in pools.
Easily and completely soluble in water. In the case of an an acidic reaction (pH < 7), „pH+“ corrector should be applied in order to increase the pH value.
The estimated amount of „pH+“ corrector is based on the volume of the pool. For increasing the pH by 0.2, 10g of corrector is needed per 1m3 of water.
The measured amount of corrector should be disolved in water and the solution should be poured directly to the pool, at several places. A pump should be turned on for better homogenization. Guidelines on dosage, storage and precaution measures, found on each package, must be followed.
