E-Z Pool

E-Z POOL^® is simple to use. Immediately after adding to the pool, the fast-dissolving formula starts to work by oxidizing contaminants, preventing algae, conditioning and clarifying, inhibiting scale and maintaining overall water balance. E-Z POOL^® effectively manages pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness with just a once-a-week application. Because E-Z POOL^® keeps the water clean, clear and balanced, your sanitizer is more efficient and you use fewer chemicals!

Note: E-Z POOL^® is not compatible with biguanide pools.

Simply stated. . . there is no comparison! Traditional water maintenance programs require a multitude of chemicals and frequent testing in an attempt to achieve balance and clarity. These programs are based on reactive science: wait until you have a problem, attempt to diagnose with complicated testing, and then treat by adding a multitude of chemicals that might fix the problem. E-Z POOL^® works on PROACTIVE science: you actually prevent water problems (algae, organic contaminants, pH imbalance, scale) rather than adding more chemicals to treat them after they occur.

E-Z POOL^® is available exclusively from swimming pool and spa professional retailers. CLICK HERE for more information.

If the pool is free of algae, the green tint indicates that something is slightly out of balance or there is a presence of a high level of phosphates that can also lead to redundant algae problems. Typically, the bleaching effect of chlorine compensates for an out of balance condition, keeping water blue in spite of possible problems. Since one of the benefits of E-Z POOL^® is that it does not contain bleach, the following is a list of things to check when troubleshooting a pool with green tint:

1. Check the filter. A clean filter is always the first step in correcting a problem with E-Z POOL^®.

2. Test sanitizer level. If the pool is lacking sanitizer, there may be a tendency for the water to get a green hue. If the sanitizer is too low, the pool may take on a flat look and then turn a light green tint. When experiencing a green tint from low sanitizer level, try increasing the sanitizer level to at least 3.0 ppm with the addition of a dichlor shock.

3. Test for phosphates. A high phosphate level is often the cause of stubborn green tint in E-Z POOL^® water. Use Revive!^® to resolve this problem quickly and effectively.

4. The level of calcium contributes to the “body” of the water. If the pool water lacks body, it may not effectively reflect the UV rays of sunlight to produce the blue tint most commonly associated with swimming pools. Here again, if the green tint is due to chemical imbalance and sufficient oxidizer is present, the calcium level may be too low.

Calcium level should be adjusted to 350 ppm. Always adjust balance before dosing with E-Z POOL^® and allow water to reach new calcium balance prior to E-Z POOL^® application.

5. Test copper level. Excessive copper levels may contribute to a green hue or tint. Check the copper level and if it exceeds 0.8 ppm, treat with Revive!^® to reduce.

6. Test pH and total alkalinity. If pH is high or low relative to calcium, and total alkalinity is too low relative to pH and calcium, this could result in a green tint. Adjust to recommended levels.

This is typically attributed to poor filtration since E-Z POOL^® contains a clarifier. If your “E-Z” pool is cloudy, perform the following steps:

1. Check the filter. The filter media should be cleaned, backwashed or replaced. Run the filter continuously when troubleshooting for cloudy water. Frequent filter clearing helps clean the water faster.

2. Check the pump timer. The pump should be circulating a minimum of 12 hours per day during the swim season or 6 hours per day during the off-season.

3. Test sanitizer level. If the sanitizer level is too low (below 1.0 ppm), there is not sufficient chemical available to oxidize the matter that is suspended in the pool. Adjust as needed.

4. Test water balance. If the pH, total alkalinity or calcium levels are out or range, cloudiness may occur. If needed, adjust prior to applying E-Z POOL^®.

The brown staining in your pool is caused by oxidized iron, which is probably getting in your pool from the well. The oxidizer in E- Z POOL shocks out more contaminants than regular chlorine shock. Sometimes, especially pools filled with well water, this can cause an issue that was previously unknown while on chlorine because it is not as versatile as the E-Z POOL^®. In most cases, the problem can be fixed rather easily.

When you used ascorbic acid before, it was the right thing to do, unfortunately you weren’t told that the job was only half done. Ascorbic acid removes the stain rather easily BUT once the stain is removed, the molecules that formed the stain are still in the pool water. They have just been dissolved. Unfortunately, sand filters only filter out particles that are 20-25 microns and larger, oxidized iron is in the 2-4 micron range. So, your filtration system needs help removing the particles that caused the stain out of the pool water. The fastest and easiest way to do this would be to:

1. Treat your pool with ascorbic acid. You shouldn’t need more than a pound. It should work within an hour or two. Once it has been circulated throughout the system.

2. Once the brown stain has been lifted, turn off the pool pump.

3. Spray 16oz of Revive!^® (removes the iron particles by dropping them out of solution and in to a sediment on the bottom of the pool so you can vacuum it to waste, removing it for good) over the top of the pool.

4. Leave the pool off for at least 24 hours.

5. Vacuum the debris out of the bottom of the pool while your sand filter valve is on waste.

6. Follow the weekly directions for the E-Z POOL^® that your local store has given you.

You should also have a bottle of Revive!^® at the house for whenever you fill up your pool due to evaporation or splash out. Simply attach the Revive to the end of your fill hose and spray the product over the top of your pool water, covering the pool twice. Revive!^® will capture the particles from your well water that shouldn’t be in your pool water and send them to your filter so you don’t have to repeat this procedure.

1. Balance water
2. Treat algae with chlorinated shock product at a rate of 4# granular or 4 gallons liquid per 10k gallons of pool water and/or algaecide
3. Following “problem solving” label instructions on the bottle, after algae has dissipated, turn off the circulation system, spray 64oz Revive!^® START UP/CLEAN UP per 24k gallons of pool water over pool surface, depending on the severity of the initial algae issue, keep pool pump turned off for 24-48 hours
4. As time passes, debris will form on the floor of the pool as the pool water gradually clears, once the water is clear, vacuum the debris through the waste portal on the valve of the sand or DE filter
5. For cartridge filter pools, vacuum the debris to the filter then clean the cartridge element
6. Resume normal pool maintenance program or begin the E-Z POOL^® or PEPPER^® program

Follow Dosage chart on back of pail. Scoop measures 1/2 lb of E-Z POOL^® to fill line.

Yes! Follow the guidelines set forth by the manufacturer for dosage requirements.

Yes! E-Z POOL^® eliminates corrosive chloramines (the ‘chlorine smell’ associated with pools) that build up between the pool surface and a closed cover. This build up is damaging to pool liners, covers, and equipment.

No! E-Z POOL^® contains a maintenance dose of long-life algaecide, which precludes the need for normal weekly dosages.

With proper storage, as noted on product label, E-Z POOL^® has a 24 month shelf life.

The biggest culprit for hardened product is moisture, whether that be from a wet scoop being put back in the bucket, an ill seated lid o-ring, or even condensation, moisture tends to make the once loose granules meld together.

Once your pool is balanced and on the E-Z POOL^® program, No! E-Z POOL^® contains a very effective oxidizer which precludes the need for typical shocking.

pH 7.2-7.6 TA 80-120ppm CH 250-400ppm, CA 30-80ppm, FC 1.5-3.0ppm, TC 1.5-3.0ppm

E-Z POOL^® replaces algaecide, clarifier, pH Control, Calcium, stain & scale, shock, and alkalinity. When you consider the cost to maintain a pool including purchasing chemicals for pool problems the overall cost to maintain a pool with E-Z POOL^® is comparable in price. E-Z POOL^® also offers a No Algae Guaranteed! (see page 9) and a no wait time to swim.

In the unlikely event a pool using E-Z Pool and Revive!^® gets algae, APi will cover 100% of the cost of chemicals necessary to eliminate it! Simply start each season with a dosage of Revive!^® (See bottle for dosage amounts) and follow the usage instructions for E-Z POOL^® (see label). In the low probability that the pool has an algae outbreak and the calcium level is above 350ppm, your local dealer will provide the necessary chlorine-based shock products at no charge to fix the issue. Once the algae has been eliminated, retreat the pool with Revive!^® and the No Algae Guaranteed! begins again. *Limited to reimbursement to dealer for the cost of chlorine shock only to eliminate algae in a residential swimming pool. Requires verification of the E-Z POOL^® startup program and proper application/dosage of E-Z Pool with a documented water test from an authorized dealer (proper water balance, chlorine minimum 10 and phosphates under 2521ppm).
