Switching Over to Waters Choice Enzymes

If you are switching over to Waters Choice enzymes from a chlorine or bromine based system, make sure your water is clean/clear, that your CYA level is below 80, then simply let your chlorine/bromine level come down to 0 before introducing our enzymes.

If you are switching over from or are still using a Salt Generator, simply turn you generator down to the lowest setting.  Your plates and equipment will last longer using Waters Choice enzymes.

What is the 1 Gallon Pool Enzyme Concentrate?

The 1 Gallon Pool Enzyme Concentrate is a weekly pool treatment that treats pools larger than 20k gallons or smaller pools for multiple seasons.  Our gallon size is the most economical choice.  Good for large swimming pools and commercial pools. Enzymes treat pool water filled with organics like sunscreen, sweat, urine, and debris from plants and trees. These organics puts a high demand on chlorine, which means you must increasingly use more. Waters Choice Pool Enzymes will break down the organics in your water, freeing up the chlorine to do what it does best. This allows you to use less chlorine which is so much better for you and your pool.

All You Need

Start with clean filters.  Then add 2 oz. per 10k gallons 2 weeks in a row to start.  In addition, balance pH (7.2 - 7.8) & alkalinity (80 - 120)  and maintain .5 -1 ppm chlorine.  After the first 2 weeks, add .5 oz. per 10k gallons every week until ready to close.  When ready to close, add 2 oz. per 10k gallons 2 weeks in a row, then close.  No other closing chemicals needed.  (Make sure your water is clear)

If your pool is 20,000 gallons or less, check out our 16 oz. Pool Enzyme Concentrate, which treats a 10k gallon pool for 1 season or our 32 oz. Pool Enzyme Concentrate, which treats a 20k gallon pool for 1 season. We also have a Once-a-Month application -  Pure Enzymes for Pools, which treats up to 25k gallons of water.

Maintaining your pool with Waters Choice Enzymes enables you to eliminate opening & closing chemicals (chlorine, shock, and metal sequestering agents), shock, all while reducing chlorine use.

We highly recommend testing for phosphates in spring, summer and fall in order to get ahead of potential algae bloom.

Additional Benefits

Our enzymes are scientifically formulated to combat organics in your pool water without the harsh chemicals, eliminating scum rings and enabling filters, equipment and swim suits to last longer.

Enzymes can withstand large bather loads and recover quickly.  They are all natural and safe for your eyes, hair, skin, pets and the environment.

Q – STARTING/OPENING a pool with Pool Enzyme Treatment (weekly application)

  • Start with clean, clear water.  Let your chlorine level drop to .5 - 1ppm chlorine. 
  • Balance & maintain pH & Alkalinity.
  • Maintain .5 - 1 ppm chlorine (usually by keeping 2-3 chlorine pucks in your chlorine feeder set on the lowest setting - adjust as needed).
  • Add 2 oz. of Pool Treatment per 10,000 gallons for the first 2 weeks. 
  • The 16 oz. Pool Treatment treats a 10k gallon pool for 1 season.
  • The 32 oz. Pool Treatment treats a 20k gallon pool for 1 season. (We also carry a 1 gallon size.)
  • Then add ½ oz. per 10,000 gallons every week after that throughout the season.
  • No other opening (or closing) chemicals needed.
  • We highly recommend checking for phosphates in the spring, mid-summer, & fall.  Phosphates left unchecked will result in algae growth.
  • To close your pool, simply add 2 oz. of Pool Treatment per 10k gallons 2 weeks in a row to clean water, then close up.  No other closing chemicals needed.

Q – CLOSING your pool with the POOL ENZYME TREATMENT (weekly application)

  • Add 2 oz. of Pool Treatment Enzyme Concentrate per 10k gallons 2 weeks in a row to clean water, then close it up.
  • You do not need any other closing chemicals.

Q – Mid-winter check up

  • It's a good idea to take a look under your pool cover about the month of February.
  • If the pool water looks good, just close it back up.
  • If the water has a tint of green, then add about .5 gallon of liquid chlorine.
  • Check again the next day and add more if needed, until clear. Then close it back up.

Q – Is it safe to get into my pool immediately after adding Enzymes?

  • Yes, enzymes are non-toxic and it is safe to use your pool immediately.

 Q – Calculating pool capacity in gallons

  • Measure the Length x Width x Depth x 7.5 = your total gallons.
  • You can also view our pool capacity chart on this page.

Q: Do I need to use a sanitizer in my swimming pool?

  • Yes, keep your chlorine level between .5 - 1ppm.
  • This amount is much lower than what you would use, if you were not using enzymes.
  • With enzymes, this usually looks like keeping 2-3 high quality chlorine pucks in your chlorine feeder at the lowest setting.

Q: Do I need to use other chemicals in my pool?

  • You will need to maintain the pH and alkalinity in the normal ranges.
  • Use Muriatic Acid to lower pH and alkalinity in your pool.
  • Use Soda Ash (sodium carbonate) to increase pH.
  • Use Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate), if you need to increase alkalinity.
  • If you live in an area that has high phosphates you may need to add a phosphate remover.  We recommend checking for phosphates in the spring, mid-summer, and fall before closing.

Q: Is it safe to backwash my pool filter onto my lawn? How often should I backwash?

  • Yes, as long as your sanitizer (chlorine/bromine) level is below .5 ppm you can backwash directly onto the lawn.
  • How often you back wash should not change much. Follow your manufacturer’s directions. You should usually backwash when your pressure gauge reading rises 5-7 lbs above your base line.

Q – POOL water has a tint of GREEN or algae

  • Make sure to keep .5 - 1ppm chlorine in your water.
  • Check for PHOSPHATES.  If more than 200 ppb, add a phosphate remover.
  • Check for NITRATES.  Nothing we know removes nitrates.  If you have a reading of 10 ppm, drain ½ the pool & start over.  If at 20 ppm, drain entire pool & start over.
  • Check for CYANURIC ACID (this is a build up from chlorine tablets). If over 300 ppm, then drain & clean (pressure wash) & refill.

Q – In POOLS, how much Muriatic Acid or Soda Ash do I add to adjust the pH?

  • Check product packaging for directions
