CORRECTS HIGH pH AND HIGH ALKALINITY. According to the method of dosing, Fi-Clor pH & Alkalinity Reducer (Dry Acid) will lower either the pH or the total alkalinity in swimming pool water. High pH can result in cloudy water and contribute to scale formation. More importantly, it will reduce the effectiveness of chlorinebased sanitisers as they produce less free active chlorine. High alkalinity will make it difficult to adjust the pH as any correcting chemicals will be taken up by the alkalinity and are unable to alter the pH. Instructions to correct pH > Take a pH reading using your test kit or test strips. You will need to lower the pH if the reading is above 7.6. > Pre-dissolve the Fi-Clor pH & Alkalinity Reducer in pool water using a suitable container. In order to avoid concentrated solutions, only dissolve a maximum of 500g of the product in 10 litres of water at a time, adding product to water, never water to product. If you need to use more than 500g Fi-Clor pH & Alkalinity Reducer, repeat the treatment. Dose no more than a total of 1kg at a time. > With the circulation system running, distribute evenly around the pool, avoiding the skimmers. > Continue filtration and re-test after 24 hours. If the pH is still high, repeat the dose. To correct total alkalinity > Determine the total alkalinity level using a test kit or test strips. If the reading is above 200mg/l (ppm), pre-dissolve 1kg of the product as described, and pour the solution in a small area at the deep end of the pool. Each application will reduce the alkalinity by approx 10
Fi-Clor pH Increaser (Soda Ash) is for raising the pH level in swimming pool water. pH is a measure of how acid or how alkaline the water is. Low pH can lead to skin irritation and corrosion of equipment. Instructions to correct pH > Take a pH reading using your test kit or test strips. You will need to raise the pH if the reading is below 7.2. > Pre-dissolve the Fi-Clor pH Increaser in pool water using a suitable container. In order to avoid concentrated solutions, only dissolve a maximum of 500g of the product in 10 litres of water at a time, adding product to water, never water to product. If you need to use more than 500g Fi-Clor pH Increaser repeat the treatment. Dose no more than a total of 1kg at a time. > With the circulation system running, distribute evenly around the pool, avoiding the skimmers. > Continue filtration and re-test after 24 hours. If the pH is still low, repeat the dose.
CORRECTS LOW TOTAL ALKALINITY. Fi-Clor Alkalinity Increaser (Bicarbonate) is for raising the total alkalinity level in swimming pool water. Alkalinity is a measure of the amount of alkali (or in chemical terms, bicarbonates and carbonates) in the water. If the alkalinity is too low, any chemicals added to the pool will directly affect the pH, causing rapid fluctuations in pH readings. Alkalinity at the correct level will help protect, or 'buffer' the pH. Instructions > Take an alkalinity reading on your test kit. You will need to raise the total alkalinity if the reading is below 100mg/l (ppm) for pools sanitised with stabilised chlorines or bromine, or below 80mg/l (ppm) for pools sanitised with Fi-Clor Superfast or Supercapsules. > Pre-dissolve the Fi-Clor Alkalinity Increaser in pool water using a suitable container. In order to avoid concentrated solutions, only dissolve a maximum of 500g of the product in 10 litres of water at a time, adding product to water, never water to product. Dose no more than a total of 1.5kg in a day. > With the circulation system running, distribute evenly around the pool, avoiding the skimmers. > Continue filtration and re-test after 24 hours. If the total alkalinity is still low, repeat the dose.
