SKILL-IT SWIMMING POOL ALGAECIDE
SKILL-IT SWIMMING POOL ALGAECIDE
Swimming Pool
This product is compatible with most chemicals normally used in swimming pool maintenance. However, in its concentrated form, this chemical must not come in contact with high concentrations of chlorine or any other oxidizer. DO NOT MIX THIS PRODUCT AND CHLORINE OR ANY OTHER OXIDIZER TOGETHER before adding to the pool. These chemicals must be handled separately.
This product was formulated to complement most swimming pool sanitizers. This product is not a stand-alone product. It must be used with either halogen based or non-halogen based pool sanitizers. When using other products as outlined in directions for this product, always follow directions on those products.
This product requires no special equipment for treating swimming pool water. The correct use dilution may be added directly to the pool in any spot or added to the water circulation equipment. This product works the best when added by itself directly to pool water by pouring around entire outside perimeter of pool.
Do not allow swimming in pool for at least 15 minutes after this product has been applied.
Ensure all pool equipment is working properly. Backwash the filter system following manufacturers’ directions. Adjust pH between 7.2-7.6. Adjust chlorine residual to 1-3 ppm. In a chlorine treated pool, add stabilizer to establish a minimum level of 40-50 ppm to reduce the degradative effects of sunlight upon the chlorine residual. Check for metals and if present add stain and scale inhibitor to prevent staining of pool surface due to metals. Check chlorine residual and adjust to 1-3 ppm. Maintain sanitizer residual in accordance with label directions found on your sanitizer of choice. Ensure that water quality conditions are maintained for the successful use of the product.

INITIAL APPLICATION FOR SWIMMING POOLS {{USING} {{HALOGENATED} {NON-HALOGENATED}] {SANITIZERS}}:
1. Backwash the filter thoroughly.
2. Vacuum algae debris and thoroughly brush pool.
3. Add 12.8 oz. of this product to each 25,000 gal. of water {(5.12 oz. per 10,000 gal.)}.
4. Vacuum pool after 24 hours to remove dead algae.
5. If algae is still visible repeat dose (steps 3 & 4) as necessary until pool is free of visible algae.
6. Allow the filter to run for at least six (6) hours after adding algaecide. During this period, swimmers must not be allowed into the water.
7. Once algae are under control, clean filter and return to normal operation.
2. Vacuum algae debris and thoroughly brush pool.
3. Add 12.8 oz. of this product to each 25,000 gal. of water {(5.12 oz. per 10,000 gal.)}.
4. Vacuum pool after 24 hours to remove dead algae.
5. If algae is still visible repeat dose (steps 3 & 4) as necessary until pool is free of visible algae.
6. Allow the filter to run for at least six (6) hours after adding algaecide. During this period, swimmers must not be allowed into the water.
7. Once algae are under control, clean filter and return to normal operation.
MAINTENANCE APPLICATION: Add 6.4 oz. of this product per 50,000 gal. of water {(or equivalent use dilution)} 5-7 days depending on weather and use factors. After each rain of consequence, add 6.4 oz. per 50,000 gal. water. Even when the pool may not be in use for periods of time, algaecide additions must be made since a heavy accumulation of algae growth is difficult to remove. The appropriate amount of this product must be added by pouring a portion of the specified amount into several areas of the pool until the required quantity has been added. Recirculation accomplished by running the filter will assure rapid dispersion of product.
