PURPLE WATER

 

PROBLEM:

Manganese is one of the more troubling swimming

Pool mineral problems. This is especially true, if the water

Is sourced from a private well.

Manganese shows up as a brown-black stain or

Discoloration and thankfully is not common in most areas.

Purple staining or even crystal-clear purple water

Can occur, due to the presence of manganese.

Corrosion of stainless steel (contains manganese)

Can lead to purple discolorations.

In most cases the pool discoloration problem,

Is associated with the oxidation of the heavy metals,

That are present in the water.

 

 

SOLUTION:

Manganese can be treated with

Mineral Treatment products.

Higher than normal dosages should be used

Because of the likelihood that other minerals

Are present, but not necessarily detected.
