Calculating Volume

One of the most important pieces of information you can have for your pool or spa is the water volume in cubic metres (mt). Whether you're adjusting pH, Shocking, or adding PristineBlue, knowing the accurate volume is essential to make sure you are using the right amount of product.

Using too much or too little of some products can actually cause a problem to develop or even get worse. Ideally, your water should be metered as the pool is filled to obtain an accurate pool volume. Since this isn't always possible, we have provided the following forms for calculating volume.

An accurate measurement of the water volume in your pool is vital for successful water treatment.

Balancing Your Pool

The levels of total alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness in water care are factors collectively referred to as "water balance".

Properly balanced water is the most essential element in the prevention of pool water problems. Testing on a regular basis is vital since water balance can be altered by such things such as rain, dirt, leaves, bathers, and chemicals.

Some problems that occur due to unbalanced water are skin and eye irritation, cloudy or green water, corrosion or scaling of equipments, and ineffective algae and bacteria control.

Pristine Blue's active ingredient is Copper. Copper has been used extensively for algae control in all types of water environments, including swimming pools, for centuries.

Traditional copper forms engineered for swimming pools come with one major problem: staining. Copper does not dissolve easily in water and the fraction of copper which doesn't combine with algae usually deposits on the walls or floor of the pool. In addition, it hasn't been possible to introduce Copper into the water at a high enough level to kill bacteria.

Even chelated Copper products, which somewhat reduce staining, don't put biological active Copper into the water. Copper is only effective against algae and bacteria when it's biologically active, and the chelating bond ties up the biological effectiveness of Copper.

PristineBlue goes a step beyond chelated products with it's unique proprietary base product ET3000. Blended with ET3000 Copper in PristineBlue is fully dissolved, biologically active and can be added to water at concentration high enough to fight algae and bacteria.

The Copper (Cu++) used to formulate PristineBlue has two positive charges. The ET3000 molecule has a large number of negatively charged attachment points.

One of each copper ion's positive charges attaches to the ET3000, leaving the other positive charge biologically active to attract and combine with algae and bacteria. When algae and bacteria come into contact with the copper ion they absorb it and die. The copper is then complexed with the organic matter and is no longer measurable in the water.

To help you see PristineBlue in action, we have developed the following two Flash animations.

Flash movie 1: ET3000 is the special formulated molecule to which the Copper ions (Cu++) are bonded, and held in solution. The negatively charged bacteria is attracted to, and oxidised by, the Copper ions. Click here...

Flash movie 2: PristineBlue is self-dispersing due to the positively charged ET3000 molecules which repel each other. As a result, PristineBlue will rapidly disperse itself throughout the pool. Click here...
