Salt Staining Problems are History

The Solution to Salt Pool Problems

• Removes and Prevents Salt Related Stains
• Prevents Build-Up on Salt Cells
• Increases Longevity of Salt Generator Cells

What is Salt Treat?
Salt Treat is a sequestrant & a chelator. Those are fancy words for a metal holding, stain remover and preventor chemical. It is designed specifically for pools using Salt Chlorine Generators.

Why do I need a stain product?
A fact not generally known by the pool business is that all water has metal in it. We get 25,000 calls per year on staining and over half showed no metals when tested. Staining is the number 1 problem and it's the hardest to fix. Algae is easy for us to get rid of.

Does Salt Treat remove metals from the water?
Some metals will be removed from the water but no product is effective in eliminating all metals from the water. Many of our calls are complaints about competitor's products that didn't work. Since metals come from dust, rain, fertilizers, city and well water, other chemicals, it's ridiculous to believe that you don't have metals in your pool. United's position is that you always treat for metals and that will protect you from a bad surprise. It's like wearing your seat belt always when you drive.

How effective is Salt Treat?
Pool Stain Treat is the most powerful stain product in the market today. It is recommended by most of the fiberglass companies, the largest vinyl pool company (Doughboy), plasterers from coast to coast as well as some Salt and Chlorine Generator companies. Thousands of pool professionals use Salt Treat.

What can I expect from using Salt Treat?
Salt Treat will effectively remove stains associated with salt from any surface. In addition, your Salt Generators cells will perform better longer since there is less build-up on the cells themselves.

Is Salt Treat toxic?
No! When diluted in the pool water, the oxalic acid in the formula is below the level of oxalic acid in spinach and rhubarb. We calculated that you would have to drink over 1900 gallons of pool water to get enough oxalic to be toxic. Of course, you wouldn't have survived the water. We do have some competitors trying to scare our customers but that's their fear of a better product.

Do I run the pump when I add Salt Treat?
It doesn't matter whether you run the pump or not. Some people like to dump the product directly on the stain with the pump off. It's faster and more dramatic but can cause temporary streaking. Follow the instructions, it's easy.

Will Salt Treat affect my pool chemistry?
Yes. The product is acidic and can lower the pH. You may also witness a temporary loss of chlorine residual. Don't shock. Just gently chlorinate. Salt Treat is unique in that it performs in any pH range and is not super susceptible to chlorine damage.

Do I have to drop my chlorine or bromine residual before using it?
No. Don't shock the pool and up to 3ppm of oxidizer is OK.

What is the #1 cause of salt staining?
Specifically with Salt Pools, staining is the result from the cells themselves activating metals in the water to form stains. Also, the large addition of Salt at one time can cause metals to become insoluble and drop out of water. Salt Treat prevents this by removing stains and keeping them in solution. Follow up treatments are recommended to prevent future staining issues.

My dealer says that I have to hold my chlorine / bromine residual above 3 ppm. Is this true?
That was before No Mor Problems® was around. United has made high residuals a thing of the past. As we said before, algae is easy for United. We've eliminated shocking, also. Remember these are the #1 causes of staining. With us, a 1 ppm residual is plenty, even in Florida.

I have clear green water, is this algae?
NO! That's classic symptoms of metal contamination. The pool is already trying to stain. When the water turns clear green, it's a sign of lots of metal and you should put in double the normal dose of United's Salt Treat to counteract the metal.

What metals is Salt Treat good for?
All heavy metals. That includes copper, iron, manganese, silver, and others. Typical metal colors are:

• green, blue, gray = copper
• brown, gray = silver
• pink, gray, brown = manganese
• brown = iron
• brown (Fiberglass) = iron/copper

I just plastered my pool, is Salt Treat the best for it?
Yes! Yes! Yes! For some strange reason, the pool business doesn't relate to the fact that the best stain removal product should be used as a stain prevention product. If we're the best for removal, we're the best for prevention. Stain removal is much tougher than prevention. DON'T SHOCK! It's good for any just filled pool/spa.

Is Salt Treat ok for my pool surface?
Yes. We are used on all pool/spa surfaces. We haven't found a surface that we can't be used on. Paint and color (marcite) are unique and be sure to follow the instructions.
