Product Information

Full details

The Plastica Relax Small Buoy is designed for pool owners seeking effortless, long-term pool maintenance. Its primary benefit is providing up to one month of continuous water treatment with a single application, reducing the need for daily dosing. A key consideration is its suitability for pools up to 25,000 liters and the requirement to monitor and adjust chlorine levels for optimal performance. This product simplifies pool care by dispensing chlorine, stabilizer, clarifier, and algicide simultaneously.

FAQs

How long does one Plastica Relax Small Buoy last?

One Small Buoy is designed to treat pools for up to one month, depending on pool volume and environmental conditions.

What size pools is this product suitable for?

The Plastica Relax Small Buoy is suitable for pools with a water volume of up to 25,000 liters.

How do I adjust the chemical release rate?

You can adjust the release rate by carefully cutting off the pre-marked nipples on the buoy. More nipples cut mean a faster release.

What should I do if my pool is in use while the buoy is dispensing?

It is recommended to remove the Small Buoy when the pool is in use, especially if chlorine levels are near or above the 3 ppm threshold, to ensure swimmer safety and prevent over-chlorination.

Is this a replacement for all pool chemicals?

The buoy provides a comprehensive treatment, but it is ideal in conjunction with occasional use of granular chlorine. Maintaining the correct pH is also essential for its optimal performance.

What does it mean if the buoy floats on its side?

When the Small Buoy floats on its side, it indicates that it is empty and has finished dispensing its treatment chemicals.

Where should I store the buoy when not in use?

Store the Small Buoy and any removed nipples in a safe place, away from children and pets.

Troubleshooting

Buoy is not dispensing chemicals effectively.

Ensure the correct number of nipples have been cut for your pool size. Check if the free chlorine level is consistently below 1 ppm. If so, cut an additional set of nipples. Verify that the pool's pH is within the optimal range of 7.2-7.6.

Chlorine levels are too high (above 3 ppm).

Immediately remove the Small Buoy from the pool and place it in a bucket of water. If the pool is in use, ensure it is removed until chlorine levels return to normal. Do not use the pool if levels are excessively high. Consider cutting fewer nipples on the next buoy if this is a recurring issue.

Buoy does not float correctly.

Ensure the correct nipples have been cut. The buoy should float with the round end down. Check for any damage to the buoy that might affect its buoyancy.

Water remains cloudy despite using the buoy.

The buoy contains a clarifier, but persistent cloudiness may require additional treatment. Check and maintain the correct pH level (7.2-7.6) and ensure the pool filter is clean and operational.

Pros and Cons

  • May require supplementary granular chlorine for specific situations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine your pool's water volume in cubic meters.
  2. Using a sharp implement, carefully cut off the designated nipples on both sides of the Small Buoy corresponding to your pool's volume.
  3. Submerge the buoy until it floats with the rounded end at the bottom, then allow it to rest in the center of the pool.
  4. Ensure the buoy floats freely and is not fully submerged.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for swimming pools up to 25,000 liters.
  • Works best when used in conjunction with maintaining a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6.
  • Can be used alongside occasional granular chlorine treatments.

Care:

  • Store the Small Buoy and any removed nipples safely away from children and pets when not in use or if removed from the pool.
  • If the buoy needs to be removed due to high chlorine levels or pool usage, store it in a bucket of water.
  • When the buoy is empty, it will float on its side.
  • Clean the exterior of the buoy with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals.
