We treat your pool as though it is drinking water. We have let algae grow on our test pools and then treated with Yellow Treat. The president of United and his family swim in that same test pool. All our chemicals are produced with the idea that you and your pets could drink the water safely in an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs DPD (Pink Chlorine Test) the best for chlorine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo! Our extensive field experience has shown that the OTO (Yellow Test) is a better choice. Let the test stand for 5 minutes after adding the reagent. Don't worry about free or combined chlorine. United makes depending on DPD (Pink test) obsolete. We also found that DPD is less reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there anything different when using Yellow Treat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! Your pool will go through a clean-up period that will last from one day to 3-4 weeks. During that clean-up period you may experience a low or no chlorine reading. Don't panic! Just chlorinate continuously. Don't shock! A chlorinator or feeder makes life easy and we recommend them. If you lose your chlorine residual during heavy rain, bather load, or high temperature, just increase your feed rate until the residual comes back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need chlorine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!

Many chemistries in the pool can affect your test results. As long as you're feeding chlorine and the pool water looks good, you are reasonably safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Yellow Treat all I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo! As great a product as Yellow Treat is, we biodegrade. We highly recommend that you use No Mor Problems® to eliminate all algae in the future. Also, none of our products need any particular water balance to work, but your pool on the other hand does. The main reason that you balance a pool is to control scale, corrosion and staining.
