How to use CV-600/CV-700 Enzymes | Rule Your Pool (Episode 66)

💦Thank you Eric💦 Episode 66 was extremely informative and clearly explained.💦

It’s good to see he’s actually working in that closet of his.

Thank you, Eric. I need to listen to all of the podcasts in this series, maybe a couple of times. I am currently putting in CE-Clarifier and have a bottle of SC-1000. All seems fine, but maybe I need to do a purge with CV-600 or CV-700. Is there any way to test for enzyme levels? Or maybe the condition of the water should be a good indicator.

[@OrendaTechnologies]

Thanks Briz! We wish there was a way to measure enzyme levels, but unfortunately it’s one of those things based on feel, amount of bubbles, and sheer volume of compliments from pool owners and swimmers.

@@OrendaTechnologies Thanks, Eric, I like the sheer volume of compliments measurement! We just had algae appear on our pool walls, paired with low chlorine readings and 500 ppb phosphates. I plan on adding PR-10000, letting the pool run for a few days to clear any precipitate, cleaning the cartridge filters, then purge dose of CV-700, followed by weekly doses of SC-1000 and CV-700. Is that the best order of operation? We are in Houston TX with 85 deg water and backed up to a golf course, so prime conditions for increased phosphate activity. Thanks for these educational podcasts.

i am not able to floor vacuum my pool for 5 days after PR-10000 application. Will its effectiveness to precipitate the phosphates be diminished by that time? to clarify more. i have run the filter without floor vac until clear, but cannot floor vac for 5 days.

[@OrendaTechnologies]

PR’e reaction is done in minutes. Then it’s just dust management after that, and the dust doesn’t redissolve into the water

[@mguerramd]

Can you put the enzymes in a container of 10% chlorine and feed both into the return line with a RolaChem metered pump?

[@OrendaTechnologies]

No you cannot. In that concentration they don’t mix well. Separate feeders are necessary.

[@FixItWithMe]

Does enzymes increase ur cartridge filter pressure? Does the pressure go back down itself as the enzyme breaks down or do I have to clean the cartridge.

[@OrendaTechnologies]

Great question. CV-600 will not increase any pressure, but CV-700 can (because of the phosphate dust that falls out of solution). Generally with a cartridge you have a lot of surface area before it’s an issue, but if filter pressure is a concern, just use CV-600. It should actually extend time between cleanings.
