SKU 007064 and BarCode 6 935809 911582 (?) I've just posted the following under the previous Topic about the Sentinel Filters, in case other visitor come directly to this Topic: As I removed the wrapping on a Silver Sentinel I noticed the caution:DO NOT USE water clarifiers. As nobody has mentioned this earlier I thought I would highlight the warning in case anyone is experiencing poor results with their new filter. This might apply if someone had been treating for cloudy water just before switching to this new filter. I've forgotten my chemistry from long, long ago but I am aware (after 20 years of looking after a swimming pool) that water clarifiers generally are copper-based, intoducing copper ions into the pool to attach to bacteria and impurities. I would imagine this Warning on the label is intended to prevent Users from "poisoning" the silver (halide?) composition of the new filter. Just a thought. Maybe someone else may care to fill in the rest of the chemistry behind this manufacturer's warning?
