When pool is initially filled, Poolife Intensive Stain Prevention should always be added because fresh water supplies usually contain stain and scale producing minerals such as copper, iron, manganese and calcium.
For best results, add the required amount of Poolife Intensive Stain Prevention at the time you start to fill the pool, not after the pool is filled.
After Poolife Intensive Stain Prevention has been added and the pool filled, filter and circulate the water at least overnight before adding chlorine or other pool chemicals to allow it to react with and prevent precipitation of mineral in fresh water.
It is best to add poolife intensive stain prevention at dusk.
Do not use this product within 8 hours of the addition of shock products.
