Activator D - Monthly treatment for 50000 Litre swimming pool water

Performance Review by Swemgat:

The Activator D delivers on its promise of clearer, cleaner, and more balanced pool water. After adding it to the pool, users typically notice a significant improvement in water clarity within a short time. Additionally, many pool owners report needing less chlorine and fewer chemicals, which can result in long-term cost savings.

Pros:

• Enhances chlorine efficiency – helps maintain clean water with less chlorine.
• Prevents algae growth – reduces the need for excessive algaecides.
• Softens water – more comfortable for swimmers.
• Improves clarity – removes fine particles for sparkling water.
• Cost-effective in the long run – reduces overall chemical demand.

Cons:

• May require initial adjustment – some pools might need pH balancing before adding Activator D.
• Not a stand-alone sanitizer – still requires chlorine or an other sanitiser.

Normal dosage:

• The product comes in two bottles - a powder and a liquid - totaling 850 grams.
• We call this a "pack" and is enough to treat 50 000 Liter swimming pool water for one month.
  

For severe green pools:

• Use double the normal dosage, i.e. 2 packs for 50 000 Litre water as an initial treatment. Continue thereafter with the normal dosage.
• Activator D does kill bacteria to a certain extent, and under normal conditions. Activator D is sufficient for cleansing the water in your home at pool and algae free. 
• Unlike some other products which are on the market, Activator D will not react with other chemicals in your pool, so you can use it immediately.
• And, yes you can even add it to the water while people are swimming!

Can HTH or chlorine be added? 

• Yes, we recommend that 1 to 3 cups of HTH is added weekly for every 50 000L of water.

Mix well and brush:

• Is is recommended that you brush the pool well after pouring the contents into the weir as per the instructions on the bottle.
• The brush is required to ensure the two bottles of chemicals dissolve and react fast to clear water.

Risk of stains:

• Brushing after adding Activator D is required to ensure the chemicals dissolve completely in order to prevent the risk of stains.

 Save money in Winter:

• When the water temperature is below 13 Degrees Celsius and nobody swim, dosing of Activator D can be stopped and dosing of chlorine can lowered. 
• 10 Packs of Activator D equals a year's supply for the average size swimming pool in South Africa.

Final Verdict:

The Activator D pool chemical is an excellent addition to any pool maintenance routine, especially for those looking to reduce chlorine usage and maintain crystal-clear water effortlessly.
