MetalTrap

The METALTRAP Filter
. . . don't simply treat metal stains, trap them!!!

The METALTRAP utilizes a new filtration media, that chemically reacts with metals, such as iron, copper & manganese and permanently removes them from the water.  These unique, patent-pending units selectively filter out  stain-causing metals and helps protect your pool or spa from unsightly rusty, tan, brown, green, black or gray stains.  Removes metals that pass through ordinary filters.

The METALTRAP Filter, PURESTART Pre-Filter and the PURESTART 1 Micron Pre-Filter are all ideal for Spa use.  Spas are typically drained and refilled every 3 months, to avoid the buildup of byproducts and organic materials.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times.  The savings in treatment chemicals will more than make this a worthwhile investment and help provide better water quality, as well.

  • Units are available in 3 sizes to process up to 10,000, 25,000 or 50,000 gallons of water, depending of the level of contamination and the size of your pool or spa.  The gallonage ratings are based on a total metals content of 1 PPM.  Higher metals levels will require larger or additional METALTRAP Filters.
  • The 10,000 gallon size unit can be used to refill a typical spa about 20 times or more.
  • Use to fill a new pool or spa or to recirculate water to remove metals from a problem pool or spa.
  • To fill a new pool or spa, just attach to a garden hose.
  • Flow is typically 5-7 gallons a minute and is adjustable, depending on source water quality.
  • An absolute must for pool or spas that use well water.
  • Helps eliminate sulfur odors.
  • Use it to process the water added to plaster mixes, to reduce staining possibilities.
  • Helps your existing filter maintain a better looking and stain free pool or spa.
  • Use on all new water additions to help assure no problematic minerals are added.
  • Recirculate seasonally to help assure better water quality.
  • Stain removal can be tedious and expensive:  the METALTRAP Filter helps you avoid those problems.
  • No Installation!!!  Simply attach to a garden hose.
Even it you did not use the METALTRAP Filter or PURESTART Pre-Filters . . . there is a solution!
Liquid METALTRAP METALTRAP Stain Remover METALTRAP Stain Reversal Kit
1-quart Bottle 1.75-pound Bottle Chemicals & METALTRAP MT-25
Liquid METALTRAP is a unique metal deactivation and removal formula, that helps prevent metallic ions, such as copper, iron and manganese, from discoloring or staining underwater pool or spa surfaces.  Helps lift off existing stains and prevent new ones.  Liquid METALTRAP is effective at the pH found in virtually all pools.  It does not lose strength at pH 8.0 or higher and is ideal suited for use with all brands of salt chlorine generators. METALTRAP Stain Remover is 100% ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a chemical that reduces iron and copper to a more soluble and less colored state.  It contains none of the toxic oxalic acid.  When followed with Liquid METALTRAP, the metallic ions are complexed (chelated) and remain in solution, in a less colored state.  For best long-lasting, results, follow by recirculating the pool or spa water through a METALTRAP filter. Liquid METALTRAP and METALTRAP Stain Remover are a 1-2 punch that helps lift off metallic stains, from iron, copper or manganese. Then helps  to maintain the metallic ions in a more soluble, less colored, chelated form.  This helps assure that staining does not easily recur.  Follow this chemical treatment with recirculation, using a METALTRAP filter, for more effective and permanent removal of the various metallic ions.  Nothing is better than actual removal.
  • 1-quart treats 10,000 gallon pool.

  • 4-ounces treats a 500 gallon spa.

  • Contains no phosphates.

  • Works across the full pH range.

  • Treats most stains caused by heavy metals.

  • 1-pound per 10,000 gallons.

  • 2-ounces treats a 500 gallon spa.

  • 100% Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

  • Helps remove stains, by making the metallic ions more soluble.

  • Only requires a pH of 6.8-7.2.

  • A 3-Step approach to successful stain removal.

  • Use METALTRAP Stain Remover.

  • Follow with Liquid METALTRAP.

  • Use the METALTRAP Filter.

  • Use as directed, for best results.

Get and keep your pool or spa stain free . . . like it should be!!!
 
PureStart
The PURESTART Pre-Filter
The PURESTART Pre-Filter removes of host of organic contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, tannic acid, chemical discoloration, trace levels of pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, insecticides, wastes and degraded plant & animal  byproducts:  things that ordinary filters may be unable to remove.  These unique pre-filtering units will help you get quality water, by simply attaching to a garden hose, as the pool or spa is filled.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times.
  • Units are available in 3 sizes to process up to 10,000 25,000 or 50,000 gallons of water, depending of the level of contamination and the size of your pool or spa.

  • The 10,000 gallon size unit can be used to pre-filter and fill a typical spa about 20 times or more.

  • Use to fill a new pool or spa or to recirculate water to remove organic contaminants from a problem pool or spa.

  • To fill a new pool or spa, just attach to a garden hose, to remove contaminants as water is added.

  • Flow is typically 5-7 gallons a minute and is adjustable, depending on source water quality.  Heavier contamination levels require slower flow rates:  just turn the valve to increase media contact time.

  • An absolute must for pool or spas that use well water or some municipal water supplies.

  • Also removes swimmer's wastes, cosmetic residues and dead algae decomposition products.

  • Use it to process the water added to plaster mixes, to reduce staining possibilities.

  • Helps your existing filter maintain a better looking and stain free pool or spa.

  • Use on all new water additions to help assure no problematic organic contaminants are added.

  • Recirculate seasonally to help assure better water quality.

  • Organic contamination can be worrisome:  the PURESTART Pre-Filter helps provide peace of mind.

  • No Installation!!!  Simply attach to a garden hose.

The PURESTART Pre-Filter . . . don't swim with organic contaminants, pre-filter them out!
 
The PURESTART 1 Micron Pre-Filter
Even the best quality water has inorganic and organic micro-contaminants that are too small to see and too small for a pool filter to remove.  The most efficient pool or spa filter can only remove particles of 3-5 microns or larger.  The PURESTART 1 Micron Pre-Filter can remove particles down to 1 micron in size:  undissolved minerals, hair, body oils, cosmetic residues, skin, blood cell, dirt, silt, sediment, oxidized metal and even some types of viruses, bacteria and algae.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times.
  • Units are available for a variety of pool and spa sizes and applications.

  • Pool size treats up to 20,000 gallons of water and is 20" (50.8 cm.) in length.

  • Spa size can also be used with smaller pools, treats up to 10,000 gallons and is 10" (25.4 cm.) in length.

  • No installation is required!!!  Simply attach to a garden hose. 

  • Get better quality water and reduce chemical costs. 

  • Removes oxidized metals such as copper, iron and manganese.

  • Preventing problems saves on chemical treatment, time and effort.

The PURESTART 1 Micron Pre-Filter . . . removes even ultra-fine particles!
 
  POOL REFRESH
POOL REFRESH . . . refreshes & rejuvenates pool & spa water!
Draining a pool is not always a safe option.  Drought restrictions have to be considered.  POOL REFRESH is a new patent-pending technology, that refreshes existing pool or spa water, back to the quality of new water.  There is no need to drain the water or refill an existing pool or spa.  This unique 2-part system, is simply added to the skimmer, with the filter running and precipitates most accumulated chemicals and impurities.  Afterwards, it is either vacuumed or filtered out of the pool or spa.  After the filter has been cleaned, the water will be refreshed, just like new.  POOL REFRESH reacts with and removes stain-causing metals, such as iron, copper, manganese and silver.  Also, removed are phosphates which can promote algae growth, undissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause scaling and cloudy water and other unwanted salts, sediments and impurities.  One-quart of each product treats up to 10,000 gallons of water.  Spas can use proportionally smaller amounts.
Usage Directions
  1. Add muriatic acid to lower the pH to 7.0 - 7.2

  2. Keep the filter running, for at least several hours, to make sure the pH is uniform.

  3. Slowly add 1-quart of POOL REFRESH Part A, through the skimmer, with filter running.  1-quart, per 10,000 gallons should be added.  Take 5-1o minute per bottle, to add the product.

  4. Add 1-quart of muriatic acid, for each quart of POOL REFRESH Part A added.  Allow the filter to run for 1 -2 hours.

  5. Turn the filter off, to allow the settling action to begin.

  6. You'll need 1-quart of POOL REFRESH Part B, for each 10,000 gallons of pool water.  Resume filtering.  Mix each quart of Part B with 3 parts of pool water and slowly pour in front of an operating return jet, to aid in dispersion.

  7. Operate pump for about 1-hour and shut off.  This allows the precipitation and removal process to begin.

  8. Either vacuum the precipitated minerals to waste and/or allow the filter to remove and suspended debris.

  9. Monitor the filter pressure.  If it rises too high, backwash or clean the filter, depending on filter type.  Depending up the nature of your mineral problem, the filter may have to be serviced several times.  Monitor the pressure will help gauge the progress.  The unwanted and potentially problematic minerals are what is being vacuumed away and filtered out . What's left is refreshed and better quality water!

Get and keep your pool or spa refreshed . . . like it should be!!!
