Making Water Crystal Clear
Over time, all pool water collects various contaminants such a body oils, cosmetics, suntan lotion and other swimmer wastes, as well as pollen and tiny particles of various types that are too small to be filtered out. Build-up of these contaminants can make your water cloudy and unpleasant, as well as interfere with your ability to sanitize and prevent algae.

ProTeam offers a variety of products to remove these contaminants and leave your water sparkling clear and comfortable.

Shock Treatments
These products oxidize away many of the contaminants that get into your pool. When opening your pool, you should add a shock treatment after balancing the water, following the proper label directions. Shocking is also recommended after a heavy rain or heavy use of the pool. To prevent problems and keep you water clean and clear, shock at least once a week. Always carefully follow label directions.

Here are the shock options offered by ProTeam:
ProTeam Power Magic Superoxidizer – This is our premiere and patented shock treatment and is recommended for its ability to clear the water of many of the contaminants that build up in your pool water while adding a maintenance dose of ProTeam Supreme to aid in preventing problems.

ProTeam Shock & Swim – For a quick solution, this chlorine free shock effectively oxidizes wastes with the added benefit of allowing swimmers to resume enjoying the pool just 15 minutes after the treatment is added. It is safe for all pool surfaces and won’t bleach pool liners.

ProTeam Rapid Shock – This is the basic, traditional shock for use in swimming pools. It is highly effective at oxidizing wastes that build up in pool water.
Other Clarifying Treatments

ProTeam Microfloc Clarifier – This Product binds microscopic particles in your pool water together so that they are large enough to be removed by the filter and backwashed or cleaned out of your pool. Microfloc clarifier does not know the difference between dirt and algae and is not effected by shock treatments. It prohibits algae occurrence by physically removing algae spores. Follow label directions for start-up.
