How much chlorine or other oxidizers are necessary after the pool water is fully ionized?
Only a trace amount, [approx. 0.5 - barely detectable on a chlorine test kit] should be maintained to burn off contaminants.
Will other chemicals, such as algaecide, clarifier, stabilizer, etc. be necessary, or will shock treatment be required?
Using the floatron allows the PH level to stabilize. No other chemicals are recommended, and your pool will not need to be shocked. The floatron works perfectly with trace chlorine only.
Will chlorine or other oxidizers still need to be added daily?
Only once per week, or if the pool begins to cloud, add a very small amount of chlorine. An easy way to pro-actively control the accumulation of contaminants is to maintain a trace level of chlorine is to leave one tablet in the skimmer basket.
How does floatron affect pool pump operation?
Operate pump and filter system during daylight hours when floatron is generating ions. This will allow proper mixing and circulation of the minerals. Pump operation is unnecessary and optional at night, and the unit can be left in the pool overnight.
Does any unit ever required maintenance?
The only part requiring replacement is the sacrificial mineral electrode which will last approximately 1- 3 swimming seasons and takes only minutes to change. Replacement cost is minimal, with the approximate cost of the replacement electrode - $75.00The floatron requires the weekly washing of electrodes - residue is excellent fertilizer on shrubs or lawn.
