A summer storm, a heatwave, or a filter pump failure can turn a crystal-clear pool into a green swamp in a matter of hours. At Servinmosol, we don't believe in "draining and refilling" at the first sign of trouble. We apply professional shock treatments to kill bacteria, burn off organic matter, and restore water transparency, saving you thousands of liters.
When is a Shock Treatment Needed?
Daily maintenance is not always enough. Shock treatment (super-chlorination) is necessary when:
- Green Water (Algae): Walls feel slimy, and the bottom is not visible. Algae have taken over the shell.
- Strong "Chlorine" Smell (Chloramines): Paradoxically, if it smells strong and irritates eyes, it's because the "good" chlorine has been exhausted fighting dirt. The water must be "shocked" to break down these irritating molecules.
- After Heavy Rains: Rain washes in spores, dust, and pollutants that instantly unbalance the pH.
The Professional Secret: Prior Diagnosis
Have you added chlorine, but the water remains green? This is the most common problem we encounter.
The Stabilizer Lock: Chlorine tablets contain a stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) to prevent the sun from degrading it. If this acid accumulates in excess (>75 ppm), it blocks the effect of chlorine. It doesn't matter if you add 20 kilos more; it won't work.
We analyze this parameter before acting. If there is a lock, we perform a controlled partial water renewal before applying the chemical treatment, guaranteeing success.
Types of Treatment
Not all pools can handle the same chemicals. We adapt the product to your lining (Tiles or Vinyl Liner):
- Granular Shock Chlorine (Dichlor): Fast and powerful action for tiled pools.
- Active Oxygen (Peroxides): Ideal for liner or polyester pools, as it does not bleach the material. Allows for swimming almost immediately after application.
- Flocculation: After killing the algae, we use flocculant to clump the dead particles on the bottom and use the manual vacuum in "waste" mode to leave the water spotless.
Handling large quantities of concentrated chemicals is dangerous. The fumes released can cause severe respiratory burns.
Our technicians are equipped with the necessary PPE and calculate the exact dose per cubic meter to avoid damaging swimmers' skin or filtration equipment.
