CuLator Solves Copper Cyanurate Problems in Swimming Pools
What’s That White Stuff On My CuLator Bag?
When CuLator is placed in the skimmer basket (or the pump basket), and you use a phosphate remover (or a weekly maintenance which contains a phosphate remover), the phosphate remover can collect on the outside of the CuLator bag. This does not interfere with the working of the phosphate remover nor the CuLator product. It just looks ugly because it looks like a white goo that resembles Crisco. If you see this form on the outside of the CuLator bag, just rinse it off. Some examples of phosphate removers are Natural Chemistry Phosfree, Orenda PR-10000, Leslie’s Pool Perfect Weekly.

Swimming Pool Water Bonding
Many people believe that they don’t have to bond their swimming pool water if they have a fiberglass pool or a vinyl liner pool. However, all swimming pools are required to have bonded water. Unfortunately the way the code is written, it talks about bonding to the grid. With modern pools, which have no metals touching the water, there is no way to bond the water to the grid. Therefore, you need an extra stainless steel bond kit (Burndy Water Bug or Burndy Water Bonding Ground Kit) to make sure your water is safe to use. This link will give you more information on bonding: https://iaeimagazine.org/magazine/features/systems/taking-the-mystery-out-of-equipotential-bonding-requirements-for-swimming-pools/

Bonding Swimming Pool Water – Fiberglass Pools
Please read this article on the proper bonding of swimming pools. As we have many fiberglass pools, which no longer have metal hand rails, ladders, or lights, this is becoming a common issue.
The code requires bonding of the pool water. If your swimming pool, especially a fiberglass pool (like San Juan Fiberglass Pool) isn’t bonded, your water is not safe to swim in and it will cause issues when removing metal stains.

If you are using doing a stain treatment and using a CuLator Ultra 4.0 and the contents of the bag do not change color and your stains come back right after you chlorinate, then you either have a bonding issue or iron bacteria.

What are the little black spots in my fiberglass pool?
When you see little black spots on your fiberglass swimming pool, it could be a few things. First, try to remove them with a vitamin C tablet. If that doesn’t work, then have your water chemistry tested to see if you have a high phosphate level. If you do, use a phosphate remover then balance the pool water to see if that solves the problem.
Cobalt can also cause spots like these. The gel coat delaminates a bit from the surface and these spots can develop. Just place a CuLator Ultra 4.0 into the pump basket to see if that lowers the metal level to remove the staining.
Gel Coat delamination does happen with some fiberglass pools. Check with your pool manufacturer to see what they can do, but doing a phosphate, or stain treatment is much easier to deal with.
If you have any questions, give Periodic Products a call at 954-764-7654 to discuss.

“David M. is the guy! If you need a “go to pool guy” to answer pool chemistry questions call David. I have a 25.000 gallon in-ground pool(reason we purchased the house 5 years ago). Every year has been a challenge to open the pool. We are on a well with lots of Iron and other metals. Every year I would go to the local pool store and ask for advice on how to open my pool. Every year I would end up spending hundreds of dollars on chemicals that they said would give me sparkling clear pool water. Every year it would take a month or more just to get the pool to a swimmable state. I would get the pool balanced and then they would say add more chlorine(more money). One year after shocking the pool(just add more they said) my pool water turned a very pretty purplish brown! Unswimmable! I looked online for help and I stumbled across the Periodic Products website. I called them up and spoke with David. I explained what was going on with my pool and he said stop. He explained what was going on chemistry wise with my pool water. He than laid out a plan step by step to get my pool water to that beautiful crystal clear state. David said do this today and call me tomorrow and let me know what happened. He did this over and over again until I had crystal clear pool water. The amazing thing about his advice was every time he said to do something I got the exact result he said I would get. It was as if he was at my house performing the task himself! Another amazing thing was he didn’t try to sell me anything! The only thing I purchased from David was a CuLator 4.0 pack. This I needed to eliminate the metals in my pool water from my well. David gave me hundreds of dollars worth of advice and information free of charge and he did so with so much joy. His advice gave me joy because it worked but it seemed to give him even greater joy because he had helped me. Again David is the guy! I can’t say that enough or with enough enthusiasm! I am now enjoying my pool(the reason we bought the house). Thank You David and Periodic Products.
