Disinfection
The Melpool product range contains different types of disinfection products based on chlorine. Practice has shown that chlorine is very effective against bacteria, viruses, algae and other organic substances. When dosed correctly, the ideal product to keep swimming pool water crystal clear and clean.
Every swimming pool and every practical situation is different. That is why Melpool also includes various chlorine products;
- Fast-dissolving chlorine products for a chlorine shock treatment
– Application: restarting a pool after winter, extreme organic load, algal blooms, and after using a flocculant
– Melpool 55/G or Melpool 63/G, Melpool 70/G and Melpool 70/20 - Slow-dissolving chlorine products
– Application: continuous release of chlorine to maintain chlorine levels
– Depending on the flow rate and temperature, these tablets dissolve in 3–6 days.
– Melpool 90/20, Melpool 90/200 - Organic chlorine with UV protection/chlorine stabilizer
– Advantage: Prevents chlorine from being broken down immediately by the sun
– Disadvantage: Can also lead to over-stabilization of the chlorine at the end of the season or with frequent shock treatments. The chlorine will then no longer be active enough to combat contamination, and the water may become cloudy. Part of the water will then need to be replaced.
– Melpool 55/G or Melpool 63/G, Melpool 90/20, and Melpool 90/200 - Inorganic chlorine without UV protection/chlorine stabilizer
– Advantage: no overstabilization, ideal for restarting after winter or shock treatment.
– Disadvantage: faster breakdown of chlorine due to the sun’s UV radiation
– Note: inorganic chlorine reacts very violently with organic chlorine and other Melpool products. Never dose them at the same time, or combine them in a skimmer or floater!
– Melpool 70/G and Melpool 70/20 - Chlorine products for smaller pools
– Melpool 55/G, Melpool 63/G, and Melpool 70/G: Granules, suitable for both small and large pools
– Melpool 70/20: 20g tablets for pools 5 m³ and larger
– Melpool 90/20: 20g tablets for pools from 5 to 35 m³
– Melpool 90/200: 200g tablets for pools from 30 m³

Note:
Always dissolve the granules in a bucket of lukewarm water before adding them to the pool water. Be careful of splashing water; it can cause bleaching spots. Never throw chlorine granules directly into the water or into a floater. Undissolved granules can sink to the bottom, where they can damage the pool surface and cause bleaching spots.
Always let tablets dissolve in the skimmer or a floating dispenser. Do not throw the tablets into the pool. You can easily get bleach stains and damage the bottom of the pool. Always ensure sufficient flow of the tablets, to ensure they dissolve in 3-6 days.
