Introduction
• Chlorine is used worldwide for sanitation with proven efficacy
• Chlorine has well known disadvantages
• Ozone can be a good alternatives like other oxidizing compounds
• The actions of most oxidizing compounds have results limited to
the water phase only
• AquaFinesse water care product are specifically designed to
mitigate the biofilm
Introduction
•
2
A slow release sanitizing tablet (dispenser) is used on top of the hot
tub filter system for extra bactericidal effect in the filter elements or a
sanitizing tablet in the skimmer of the pool
•
Nearly all bacteria (99%) will settle on a substrate and metamorphose
to their sessile form ending up in a slime layer
•
Thick biofilms are hardly be penetrated by oxidising compounds so
excessive chlorine concentrations are necessary to remove biofilms
•
25ppm for 48 hours
Product Description
• What is AquaFinesse?
-AquaFinesse is a proprietary solution that
works to eliminate biofilm, bacteria, calcium
and scale buildup from pools, hot tub water,
and equipment
-Works in conjunction with ozone and UV
systems to operate with a very low doses of
sanitizers
-Softens water and adds a light lavender
scent to hot tubs

Biofilm Formation
•
Biofilm is the slimy, sticky substance adhering to the walls and especially
inside the tubing of hot tubs and pools, consisting of xPS (extra cellular
Polymeric Substances) and its bacteria population, including grazers
•
Biofilm formation change in thickness and consistency, creating varying
substrata, which can withstand to a certain level most current biocides
•
Biofilm protects bacteria and provides a perfect multiplication environment
•
Biofilms will absorb nutrients introduced into the tub or pool. (skin, oils,
body fluids etc.) serving as food source for the bacteria
•
Also in older tubs and pools biofilm formation is found in conjunction with
scaling
Biofilm Formation
2
Biofilm sequence of sticking molecules, initial colonisation by bacteria and
final stage ending up in a toad-stool like layer with channels creating
different environments for bacteria populations
Biofilm Formation

Example of the combination of biofilm, algae and scaling
Human pathogens
• A hot tub could be the perfect breeding ground for bacteria due to
biofilm development nutrition and warm water when untreated
• Generally, keeping the biofilm formation to zero or low by the
described cleaning procedures, including the filter cleaning and use
the sanitizing tablet the chance for infection by human pathogens
will be negligible
Mode of action of AquaFinesse &
Pool Puck
• AquaFinesse and Pool Puck is a new and patented product
developed to penetrate the biofilm, loosening and coagulating it up
from its substrate
• The filter system will remove the debris from the water
• The optional extra safety precaution of a slow release sanitizing
tablet in a dispenser on top of the filter system for hot tubs or in the
skimmer for pools was developed to ensure complete disinfection of
the filter elements
Mode of action of AquaFinesse &
Pool Puck
• Dispersed bio-film is flushed into the tub filter which must be cleaned
frequently (every three days) when starting an older tub (more than 6
months old) with AquaFinesse or Pool Puck
• AquaFinesse and Pool Puck will eliminate bacteria numbers
considerably by cleaning up the biofilm, and most be used with
oxidizing compound
• Pool Puck will reduce chlorine use by up to 70% after the 1st 30 days
• With little or no bacteria the chlorine has nothing to do so it you will
have lots of free chlorine Save time, save cost and stop the smell of
chlorine
• A must have for indoor pools, no shocking, no heavy chlorine smell
General application of AquaFinesse
& Pool Puck
• Dispersed bio-film is flushed into the filter which must be cleaned
very frequently (every three days) when starting an older tub or pool
(over 6 months) with AquaFinesse or Pool Puck
• Rotate filters every three days for 7-10 day on a new tubs and for
older tubs until water is clear. Finally rotate weekly, once the tub and
water are conditioned
• The filter system and ozone installation are the most important
components with AquaFinesse™. Filters should be able to collect
the fine debris left by bathers while AquaFinesse™ protects you
and eliminates the growth of bacteria
• The filter system and the sanitizing tablet protects and eliminates the
growth of bacteria with Pool Puck
General application of AquaFinesse
& Pool Puck
• AquaFinesse and Pool Puck also breaks down (calcium) scaling in
the pool and hot tub and it is flushed into the filter, cleaning up all
scaled parts over time
• The water has to be conditioned by AquaFinesse and Pool Puck,
this can take a couple of days when the tub or pool itself is new.
Frequent filter rotation or cleaning are recommended for the first
week
• Starting AquaFinesse and Pool Puck with older hot tubs or pools,
frequent filtration cleaning should be done more often because the
breakdown of built up bio-film and scaling can last up to a month!
General Hot tub problems
• Ozone installation is not working
• Filter is not cleaned regularly giving odor problems or cloudy water
• Jets not in operation several times a day for thoroughly mixing to
facilitate correct ozonation and filtration
• New hot tubs can already be scaled and fouled up due to testing in
the factory and showroom
• Oil on the water due to excessive use of body lotions
General pool problems
• Filter dirty and poor water circulation
• Pool pump not running during all daylight
hours
• Sanitizer tablet used up
• Old filter media
