Chlorine-Free Pool Treatment

You’ve got better things to do with your free time than worry, on a daily basis, about the condition and appearance of your swimming pool.

EASY
The long-lasting formula of PristineBlue
® lets you escape the chore of daily water testing and maintenance. With PristineBlue®, you’ll follow the simple maintenance program just once every two weeks.

ECONOMICAL
PristineBlue
® is perhaps the most cost-effective way to treat your pool because every drop of PristineBlue® goes to work controlling algae and suppressing bacteria. PristineBlue® doesn’t dissipate or degrade in sunlight like chlorine. Its levels are reduced only as it works against algae and bacteria in your water. Over the course of a swim season, PristineBlue® costs about the same or less than chlorine.

GENTLE
Water treated with PristineBlue
® feels softer and looks inviting without a chemical taste or odor. It’s gentle to equipment and won’t bleach your liner or swimwear. You can swim immediately after application. Your eyes won’t burn. . . and you won’t believe how good your skin and hair feel after swimming.

Pool and Spa treatment
Starting your pool on PristineBlue® is easy!  You'll find everything you need to start your chlorine pool on PristineBlue® in our Start Up Kit.

 

Starting Your Pool on PristineBlue®



Chlorine Pools, Spring Opening or Freshly Filled Pools

Start with a clean pool and functional equipment. Remove leaves and other debris and vacuum. Check to make sure pump, heater and other equipment are operational. Clean or backwash filters. Run the filter continuously through this start-up process.

Step 1:
A. Calculate pool volume.
B. Balance water in the following ranges:
• Total Alkalinity 50 – 90 ppm
• pH 7.2 – 7.6
• Calcium Hardness 100 – 300 ppm
• Balancing the water may take several days. Be patient. It is well worth it.
C. Add 2 ounces of PristineCheck
® per 1,000 gallons of pool water. Wait 4 – 6 hours.
D. Add one pound of PristineExtra
® per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Calcium based chlorine shock may cause cloudy water. Avoid cal-hypo type shocks.

Step 2:
A. 24 hours after the PristineCheck
® has been added you need to backwash the filter or clean the cartridge.
B. If you have used PristineBlue
® in the past, test the PristineBlue® level and add PristineBlue® according to the Pool Top Off Chart.
C. If you have never used PristineBlue
®, add 2 ounces of PristineBlue® per 1,000 gallons of pool water.

It is very important that for the next two weeks you maintain your pH in the 7.2 – 7.6 range. Do not add any more PristineBlue
® to the pool. After two weeks, use the following instructions.
