This marks the beginning of our fourth year with a backyard pool. When we moved in, the pool had not been maintained for over two years. No filtering, no chemicals and the cover was over 30% of the pool surface. The water was so black I couldn’t see the bottom in the shallow end. It has a liner so we couldn’t drain it and start over.
Before Water Wise of America (Rochester, NY) introduced CWS’s ProMoss™ to this Chilled Water Loop, the facility had continuous flow issues due to contaminants. The pictures below demonstrate the effectiveness of the ProMoss™ over a four month period.

These units are also being produced with stainless steel clamps.

CYA is used in outdoor pools to prevent UV light degradation of chlorine and thereby help maintain chlorine levels. CYA is supplied and used as a stand alone chemical and is also a major component of the “stabilized” chlorine products, dichlor and trichlor. While CYA is widely used, its effects on pool water are not widely understood.
