Raising Calcium

Dissolve a maximum of 5 lbs of Calcium Plus in a CLEAN plastic bucket of water as often as every 2 hours, but at least twice a day until all ________ lbs have been added.  Pour into deepest area of pool. Allow filter to run during and for at least 2 hours after application. NO swimming for at least 1/2 hour after application. Water should be re-tested 2 days after final treatment.

Raising Total Alkalinity

Broadcast a maximum of 6 lbs of Alkalinity Plus over entire surface of pool (concentrate in the deep end) as often as every 4 hours, but at least twice a day until all ________ lbs have been added. Filter should be on during and for at least 2 hours after application. NO swimming for at least 1/2 hour after application Water should be re-tested 2 days after final treatment. DO NOT BROADCAST IN WINDY CONDITIONS.

Lowering Alkalinity

Dissolve a maximum of 4 lbs of pH Minus in a bucket of water and pour the mixture around the perimeter of the pool with the filter running. After 3 hours, check total alkalinity. If it is still too high, repeat the above procedure. This should be done twice a day until all _________ lbs have been added, or the alkalinity is lowered to the desired range. NO swimming for 2 hours after treatment.

Lowering pH

Broadcast _________ oz of pH Minus over the surface of the pool, avoiding skimmers and other pool fittings, ladders, etc. Filter should be on during and for at least 2 hours after application. Re-test water 4-6 hours after application and repeat dosage until desired pH level is reached. NO swimming for at least 1/2 hour after application. DO NOT BROADCAST IN HIGH WIND CONDITIONS.

Raising pH

Broadcast _________ oz of pH Plus over the surface of the pool, avoiding skimmers and other pool fittings, ladders, etc. Filter should be on during and for at least 2 hours after application. NO swimming for at least 1/2 hour after application. DO NOT BROADCAST IN HIGH WIND CONDITIONS.

Cyanuric Acid

Pour ________ lbs of conditioner into shallow end skimmer. Be sure to remove tablets (if any) first. Filter MUST be on during and for 48 hours after application. DO NOT BACKWASH FILTER OR CHANGE FILTER POWDER DURING THIS TIME. Swimming may continue during this treatment.
