SWI MMI NG POOL WATER DI SI NFECTI ON:
For a new pool or spring start-up, superchlorinate with 107 to 213 oz. of product for each, 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 PPM available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH to between 7.2 to 7.6. Adjust and maintain the alkalinity of the pool to between 50 to 100 ppm. NOTE: This product degrades with age. Use a chlorine test kit and increase dosage as necessary, to obtain the required level of available chlorine.
To maintain the pool, add manually or by a feeder device 21 oz. of this product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield an available chlorine residual between 0.6 to 1.0 PPM by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual of 1.0 to 1.5 PPM available chlorine. Test the pH, available chlorine residual and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of water treatment will depend upon temperature and number of swimmers. NOTE: This product degrades with age. Use a chlorine test kit and increase dosage as necessary, to obtain the required level of available chlorine.
Every 7 days, or as necessary, superchlorinate the pool with 107 to 213 oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 PPM available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Do not enter pool until the chlorine residual drops below 4.0 ppm.
NOTE: This product degrades with age. Use a chlorine test kit and increase dosage as necessary, to obtain the required level of available chlorine.
At the end of the swimming pool season or when water is to be drained from the pool, chlorine must be allowed to dissipate from treated pool water before discharge. Do not chlorinate the pool within 24 hours prior to discharge.
WINTERIZING POOLS - While water is still clear & clean, apply 6.5 oz. of product per 1000 gallons, while filter is running, to obtain a 3 PPM available chlorine residual, as determined by a suitable test kit. Cover pool, prepare heater, filter and heater components for winter by following manufacturers' instructions.
SPAS, HOT TUBS, IMMERSION TANKS, ETC.:
SPAS/HOT-TUBS - Apply 11 oz. of product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a free available chlorine concentration of 5 PPM, as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH to between 7.2 and 7.8. Some oils, lotions, fragrances, cleaners, etc. may cause foaming or cloudy water as well as reduce the efficiency of the product. Re-entry to treated spas/hot tubs is prohibited above 5ppm.
To maintain the water, apply 11 oz. of product per 1000 gallons of water over the surface to maintain a chlorine concentration of 5 PPM.
After each use, shock treat with 17 oz. of this product per 500 gallons of water to control odor and algae.
During extended periods of disuse, add 6.5 oz, of product daily per 1000 gallons of water to maintain a 3-PPM chlorine concentration.
HUBBARD AND IMMERSION TANKS. Add 11 oz. of this product per 200 gallons of water before patient use to obtain a chlorine residual of 25 PPM, as determined by a suitable test kit. Adjust and maintain the water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6. After each use drain the tank. Add 11 oz. to a bucket of water and circulate this solution through the agitator of the tank for 15 minutes and then rinse out the solution. Clean tank thoroughly and dry with clean cloths.
HYDROTHERAPY TANKS - Add 2 oz. of this product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a chlorine residual of 1 PPM, as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. Pool should not be entered until the chlorine residual is below 3 PPM. Adjust and maintain the water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6. Operate pool filter continuously. Drain pool weekly, and clean before refilling.
DI SI NFECTI ON OF NONPOROUS NON-FOOD CONTACT SURFACES:
RINSE METHOD - Prepare a disinfecting solution by thoroughly mixing 13 oz. of this product with 10 gallons of water to provide approximately 600 PPM available chlorine by weight. Clean equipment surfaces in the normal manner. Prior to use, rinse all surfaces thoroughly with the disinfecting solution, maintaining contact with the solution for at least 10 minutes. Do not rinse equipment with water after treatment and do not soak equipment overnight.
IMMERSION METHOD - Prepare a disinfecting solution by thoroughly mixing in an immersion tank, 13 oz. of this product with 10 gallons of water to provide approximately 600 PPM available chlorine by weight. Clean equipment in the normal manner. Prior to use, immerse equipment in the disinfecting solution for at least 10 minutes and allow the sanitizer to drain. Do not rinse equipment with water after treatment.
