Pool winterisers
Pool winterisers: water protected while the pool rests
A pool winteriser is a chemical added to the water at the end of the bathing season to stop it going off while the pool is not in use: it holds back algae and bacteria and makes the spring start-up easier. Here Q-Tech brings together liquid and floating-dispenser winterisers from AstralPool and CTX for outdoor pools.
The winterising season runs from September to November. According to AstralPool, the liquid winteriser is added after superchlorinating, with the pH adjusted and the filtration running so that it spreads evenly.

How to choose a pool winteriser
- By lining: for liner, polyester or vinyl, the 16553, which according to AstralPool contains no copper and does not stain these materials.
- By volume: 5 l per 100 m³ with the 11430, 5 l per 60 m³ with the 16553 and one floating dispenser per 50 m³.
- By dosing method: the liquid is poured in at once; the floating dispenser is pierced at its marks, left to float and used only once. Before winterising, clean the pool edges and the chlorinator cell with our cleaners and descalers; if the water is already green, treat it first with our algaecides and clarifiers.
Applications
