Stain Drop No 3

Add Stain Drop No3 at a rate of 5 pounds for every 10,000 gallons of pool water.

Note: DO NOT begin treatment unless your heater has been bypassed, and is capable to do so.

1. Circulate pool continuously for the entire treatment. Typical treatment is 2-14 days.
2. Add 1/2 gallon of muriatic (pool) acid or 6 pounds of pH Decreaser around the perimeter of the pool per 10,000 gallons of pool water. This will lower both pH and total alkalinity to improve stain and scale removal.
3. Add Stain Drop No3 at a rate of 5 pounds for every 10,000 gallons of pool water; wait 20 minutes before next step.
4. Add 1 pound of Stain Drop No2 around perimeter of pool for every 1,000 gallons of pool water (Example 15 pounds per 15,000 gallons.)
5. Brush pool to make sure chemical products are completely in solution.
6. Add 1 quart of Stain Drop All Purpose or All Purpose XpH per 15,000 gallons of pool water. All Purpose and All Purpose XpH sequester metals that are lifted from pool surfaces. Water may cloud. This is normal and will dissipate as filter removes sequestered metals.
7. Backwash or clean filter weekly. Check and adjust chlorine/bromine levels weekly to maintain sanitizer residual throughout treatment. False free chlorine readings may occur. Use total chlorine readings during treatment. Do not shock, superchlorinate, operate salt cell, or ionizer throughout treatment.
8. After stains are removed, increase total alkalinity using a sodium bicarbonate- based alkalinity increaser. (Introduce at a rate of no more than 4 pounds per 10,000 gallons of pool water every 8 hours.)
9. Collect water sample for test by local pool professional. Follow reccomendations to return pool to proper swimming conditions.
