ProTeam Pool UV Shield

Ultraviolet light (UV) is the biggest consumer of chlorine in outdoor swimming pools. Protect the chlorine in the water with UV Shield.

Features

• Increases chlorine effectiveness
• Prevents unnecessary loss of chlorine due to the sun

Benefits

• Reduces chlorine consumption
• Most swimming pools will apply only once a season

Applications

• Optimal levels of product should be maintained between 30 – 70 ppm
• If pool is equipped with plastic (PVC) piping, UV Block should be added VERY SLOWLY to the skimmer. Otherwise add directly to the pool
• Keep water circulating and filter maintenance for 3 days and avoid backwashing pool filter

Overstabilization

In residential swimming pools, the ideal range of UV Shield is 30-100 ppm. When these levels exceed 100 ppm, the rate at which sanitizers and oxidizers perform their job in the water decreases rapidly. Water above 100 ppm can remain crystal clear; however those pools could be one pool party away or one bad storm away from a potential water issue that may not be able to be solved unless UV Shield levels are reduced. The only way to safely remove UV Shield from water is to partially drain water from the pool and replace with fresh new water.
