Always apply chemicals separately. Never combine them. This is a concentrated product and it works best when added in several places directly to the pool water with the pump running. After addition of algaecide, keep the pump running for several hours and wait 15 minutes before entering the pool. Pools with heavy growth of algae must be cleaned prior to using this product. Maintain pool water in the pH range 7.2 to 7.6. Adjust pH to 7.2 for severe algae.
Initial Dose:
Use a sequestering agent to prevent scale and stain formation. Next, add 16 fl oz of Algaetrine per 10,000 gallons of pool water.
Maintenance Dose:
Add 16 fl oz of Algaetrine per 10,000 gallons of pool water every three months to prevent algae growth.
Visible Algae:
If the pool has visible slight algae growth, use 16 fl oz of Algaetrine per 10,000 gallons of pool water. When pool is free of visible algae, use a "Maintenance Dose".
Sever Algae:
Add 32 fl oz of Algaetrine per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Once control is obtained, resume regular preventative maintenance with ALgaetrine.
Winterizing:
When swimming season is over, add 16 fl oz Algaetrine per 10,000 gallons of pool water. This dosage helps control algae growth during the winter months and aids the servicing of the pool before it is returned to use the following summer.
