Scale
Scale formation is created when there is an oversaturation of minerals in the pool water and water conditions do not allow them to remain dissolved or soluble. Those conditions may be high calcium hardness, high temperatures and/or high pH. The minerals drop out of solution and attach to pool walls and equipment and can damage them if the scale is not removed. Salt cell generators are especially susceptible to scale buildup due to the intense water conditions within the cell itself.
To remove scale:
- Add Scale Inhibitor to gradually remove scale from pool surfaces
- Use a brush and Off The Wall® to quickly clean surfaces near the waterline
- Use SaltScapes™ Cell Cleaner to remove scale from salt generator cells
To prevent scale:
- Add Scale Inhibitor for traditional chlorine pools and Mineral Springs® Stain and Scale or SaltScapes™ Scale Defender for salt pools
