TREATING POOL

POOLS PREVIOUSLY TREATED WITH CHLORINATING CHEMICALS

Important—SoftSwim B is incompatible with chlorinating chemical products. Consult your Authorized BioGuard® Dealer for information on balancing your pool water.

NOTE: If the pool is a plaster pool, add 1 quart of SoftSwim Stain Control per 10,000 gallons after the chlorine has been neutralized, and allow pump/filter to operate for 8-12 hours. Check with chlorine test kit for free chlorine prior to the beginning of neutralization. To neutralize chlorine, add BioGuard ChemOut® per label directions or add one gallon of SoftSwim Clarifier C (27.5% hydrogen peroxide) per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Filter overnight. Check with chlorine test kit. If free chlorine is detected, repeat neutralizer treatment.

FRESHLY FILLED AND DECHLORINATED POOLS

Start-up with SoftSwim B.

NOTE: If the pool water contains algae or is hazy, consult your Authorized BioGuard Dealer for advice.

Backwash or chemically clean pool filter. Check pool pH; adjust to 7.2-7.8 if necessary.

Add SoftSwim B to give a content of 50 ppm (1/2 gallon product/10,000 gallons of pool water).

After 24 hours, check pH and SoftSwim B concentration with test strips and adjust if necessary.

NORMAL POOL ROUTINE

Every week, check SoftSwim B concentration and pH.

Maintain SoftSwim B concentration at about 50 ppm. If concentration falls 10 ppm or more, add a top-up dose. The level should not be allowed to drop below 30 ppm. For example, to raise the SoftSwim B level 10 ppm, add 1 pint per 10,000 gallons of water. Consult your Authorized BioGuard Dealer for calculation instructions.

NOTE: SOFTSWIM B AND CHLORINE ARE INCOMPATIBLE.

Consult your Authorized BioGuard Dealer, Zagers, for information on how to deal with accidental chlorination.
