Directions for Use

1. Ensure all pool equipment is working properly.
2. Clean or backwash filter following manufacturer’s directions.
3. Adjust pH to between 7.2-7.6. In chlorinated pools, add stabilizer to establish a minimum stabilizer level of 30-40 ppm to reduce the degradative effects of sunlight upon the chlorine residual.
   • When using other products as outlined in the directions for this product, always follow directions on those products
4. Do not add other chemicals into the skimmer, feeder or floater where this product is in use as a fire or explosion may occur.
5. To avoid damage to pool surface or materials do not allow product to come in direct contact with these materials.
   • Do not throw directly into pool

Initial Treatment

1. If water is cloudy or green, super chlorinate pool with appropriate shock product until pool is clear.
2. If using a feeder or floater, add 16 ounces of this product (two sticks or 3" tabs) per 10,000 gallons of pool water to feeder or floater.
3. Adjust the feeder or floater following manufacturer’s instructions to establish a free available chlorine level between 1-4 ppm.
4. Allow water to circulate at least 4 hours and then test for the free available chlorine level. When free available chlorine level is adjusted to 1-4 ppm, add the preventative algicide appropriate to your needs.
5. If using a plastic skimmer, add 16 ounces of this product (two sticks or 3" tabs) per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Place sticks or tabs in skimmer basket.
6. Allow water to circulate at least 4 hours before testing. Test for the free available chlorine level adding more sticks as necessary to establish a free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm.
7. When free available chlorine level is adjusted to 1-4 ppm, add the preventative algicide appropriate to your needs.

Routine Maintenance

1. Add 16 ounces of product (two sticks or 3" tabs) per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, or as often as needed, to the floater, feeder or skimmer to maintain a constant free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm.
2. Sunlight, rainfall, temperature, number of swimmers, and frequency of pool use affect the rate of chlorine residual loss so check the floater, feeder or skimmer often and refill as needed.

*Re-entry into treated swimming pools is prohibited when free available chlorine levels are above 4 ppm due to risk of body injury.
