AQUA UNIQUE

WATER SOLUBLE CATIONIC POLYMER
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PREMIUM POOL ALGAECIDAL
(FOR ALGAE CONTROL IN POOLS)

AQUA UNIQUE is a cationic polymeric algaecide for use in swimming pools. It is effective against both greenish free-flowing varieties of algae and the so-called black algae that cling to the walls and bottoms of pools. The regular use of AQUA UNIQUE in swimming pools can overcome the problems caused by algae, such as unsightly appearance, murky water, objectionable odors, clogged filters, and increased chlorine demand.

AQUA UNIQUE is effective at all pH values and, unlike the commonly employed quaternary ammonium compounds, it will not cause foam when added in high concentration slug doses. AQUA UNIQUE also will not interfere with the efficient operation of sand, diatomaceous earth (DE), or other types of commonly used filters.

METHODS OF APPLICATION

For maximum effectiveness, pools containing a heavy growth of algae should be cleaned prior to starting the use of AQUA UNIQUE. Pools having just visible algae growth (greenish cast to the water or black or green spots on the walls and bottoms) should be treated with with 9 – 14 ml of AQUA UNIQUE per cubic meter of water (11 – 17 fl oz per 10,000 gal of water). Then about 24 hours later, the algae debris should be removed by standard cleaning procedures, including brushing loose algae spots, vacuuming the pool, and backwashing the filter.
For treatment of a freshly cleaned and filled pool, add initially 5 – 9 ml of AQUA UNIQUE per cubic meter of water (6 – 11 fl oz per 10,000 gal of water). Then should be treated with 1.6 – 3 ml of AQUA UNIQUE per cubic meter ( 2 – 4 fl oz per 10,000 gal of water) every 5 – 7 days after the initial treatment. Uniform distribution of AQUA UNIQUE throughout the water in the pool is necessary for maximum effectiveness of the product.

AQUA UNIQUE is compatible with other chemicals commonly used to treat swimming pools, and its effective in both acid and alkaline pH ranges. It can be used in pools treated with chlorine chemicals, and its use may reduce the amount of these chemicals normally required. However, do not mix AQUA UNIQUE with the concentrated dry or liquid chlorine products.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Effective against algae and bacteria at pH 6-9. It is effective even when water chemistry is out of balance.
• Effective against green, blue, bluegreen, mustard and black algae.
• Effective as an algistat. Prevents regrowth of algae even when chlorine residual is low. AQUA UNIQUE is an excellent maintenance product.
• AQUA UNIQUE prevents the growth of algae and bacteria, thereby reducing chlorine consumption.
• AQUA UNIQUE also allows the suspended solids to be more efficiently removed by the filter and backwashed out of the pool.
• AQUA UNIQUE functioning as a cationic coagulant, keeps pool water clear.
• There is a synergism created with chlorine, bromine, ozone and oxone because AQUA UNIQUE either weakens or makes holes in the cell menbrane of algae and bacteria, it makes them more susceptible to the oxidizer, thereby making the sanitizers more efficient.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not cause foam like quaternary ammonium products.
• AQUA UNIQUE can be used in both pool and spas without foam complaints. It is suitable at spa temperatures, will not evaporate or break down and causes no odour problems.
• AQUA UNIQUE is stable in direct sun and is ultraviolet light suitable.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not precipitate or plate out like copper or silver based products can at high pH, causing blue or black stains that need to be acid washed out.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not cause green stains in blonde haired swimmers.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not interfere nor react with scale or stain preventers.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not interfere with DPD or OTO chlorine tests
• AQUA UNIQUE will not interfere with TDS, alkalinity, calcium or pH testing.
• AQUA UNIQUE will not interfere with efficient operation of sand, DE or cartidge filters.
