Description
The Jacks Magic Filter Fiber Stuff combines high performance, outstanding value, and environmentally friendly features into one great product. When used as a safe alternative to DE in DE filters, The Filter Fiber Stuff requires less than half the amount of product (by weight) than needed when using DE. It can be used to enhance the filtering performance of sand and cartridge filters as well. Packaged in pre-measured bags with re-sealable zip lock packaging makes it easier to apply the correct dosage amount and easier storage. The Filter Fiber Stuff is non-toxic, making it safe to handle and store. It can also be backwashed safely as it is biodegradable. The Filter Fiber Stuff extends filter runs (Please Note: The first few filter runs may actually be shorter, due to the filtration of much finer particles), reduces filter clogging, and results in sparkling clear water of the highest quality. The Filter Fiber Stuff is also WQA (Water Quality Association) certified and has met the requirements of NSF/ANSI-50 for swimming pools and spas/hot tubs.
Features:
- Biodegradable and non-toxic.
- Safe to handle and store.
- Reduces filter clogging.
- Safer than D.E. (diatomaceous earth)
- Compatible with sand and cartridge filters as well.
- Requires less than half the amount used with D.E. by weight.
- Environmentally friendly and safe to backwash.
Directions for use with D.E. (Diatomaceous Earth) filters:
- Dosage:
- Add 1 D.E. Scoop of the Filter Fiber Stuff per 12 square feet of filter area. For example: 60 square feet requires 5 D.E. Scoops or 36 Ounces of Filter Fiber Stuff.
- Charging:
- Start with a clean filter. Note the filter operating pressure before the Filter Fiber Stuff is added; this will be your clean filter operating pressure. Next, create a slurry. Slowly add the solution through the skimmer with the pool pump in operation.
- Cleaning:
- The filter should be cleaned when the filter pressure rises 10 pounds above the clean filter operating pressure, or when the flow back into the pool is diminished. It is important to clean the filter as needed and recharge it each time with the Filter Fiber Stuff.
Directions for use with cartridge filters:
- Dosage:
- Add 3 ounces (by weight) of The Filter Fiber Stuff per 25 square feet of filter area.
- Charging:
- Start with a clean filter. Note the filter operating pressure before The Filter Fiber Stuff is added; this will be your clean filter operating pressure. Next, create a slurry. With the pool pump in operation, slowly add the solution into the skimmer. This may cause a 1-3 pound (PSI) rise in the filter pressure. Leave the Filter Fiber Stuff on the cartridge and operate the pool as normal.
- Cleaning:
- The filter should be cleaned when the filter pressure rises 10 pounds (PSI) above the clean filter operating pressure, or when the flow back into the pool is diminished. It is important to clean the filter as needed and recharge it each time with Filter Fiber Stuff.
Directions for use with Sand Filters:
- Dosage:
- Add 3 ounces (by weight) of The Filter Fiber Stuff at a time, with a maximum addition of 9 ounces (by weight).
- Charging:
- Start with a clean filter. Note the filter operating pressure before The Filter Fiber Stuff is added; this will be your clean filter operating pressure. Next, create a slurry. With the pool pump in operation, slowly add 3 ounces (by weight) slurry into the skimmer, unto the skimmer until you see a 2-PSI increase on the pressure gauge, or until a maximum or 9 ounces (by weight) has been added.
- Cleaning:
- Backwash the Filter Fiber Stuff from the filter when the pressure rises 10 pounds above the clean filter operating pressure, or when the flow back into the pool is diminished. The Filter Fiber Stuff must be back washed from the filter after a maximum 24 hours of operation time. It is important to clean the filter as needed and recharge it when necessary with the Filter Fiber Stuff for optimal clarity.
