Product Use

This product is step 3 of Bioguard 3 step process. Use this product with a weekly shock treatment, and a daily chlorine treatment to ensure a clean sparkling pool.


Directions

Ensure all pool equipment is working properly. Backwash the filter system following manufacturers directions.  Adjust the pH to between 7.2-7.6.  Adjust chlorine residual to 1-3 ppm. In a chlorinated pool, add stabilizer to establish a minimum stabilizer level of 30-40 ppm to reduce the damaging effects of sunlight upon the chlorine residual. Check for metals and if present add a stain and scale inhibitor to prevent staining of pool surface due to metals. Check chlorine residual and adjust to 1-3 ppm.  When using other products as outlined in directions for this product, always follow directions on those products.  Wait at least 15 minutes after application before entering pool.


For an Initial Application or When Pool Water is Changed: Pour 32 oz. directly into pool per 25,000 gallons of water.


For Routine Maintenance: For weekly application intervals, use 1 oz. per 5,000 gallons of water.  For two week applicatoin intervals, use 2 oz. per 5,000 gallons of water every other week.  Following heavy rain showers, add an additional 1 oz. per 5,000 gallons.


To "Vacation treat" your pool (when away for one week or more): Add 4 oz. of this product per 5,000 gallons for every week unattended.  Pour product around the edges of the shallow end of the pool if shock is also being applied in the deep end of the pool.
