Lithium Pro:
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL, UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
General Instructions:
The correct level of free chlorine should be maintained for several hours prior to and during swimming activity
Chlorine levels and pH should be tested daily by use of a reliable test kit. Using fresh testing reagents.
If the pH falls below the required level add dry alkili. If it rises above, add dry acid or hypochloric acid.
Dose the pool in the evening when the pool is not in use. Dosage indicated are only a guide. Dose the pool and then test to ensure the required free chlorine levels are reached.
If stabilisers are present in the pool, stabiliser levels should be tested fortnightly by use of a reliable test kit. If 100 mg/l of stabiliser is exceeded the ability of the chlorine to control the algae, bacteria, viruses and protozoa is reduced.
SUPER CHLORINATION:
During the swimming season super chlorinate once per week. After super chlorination, the pH balance of your pool should be checked.
WINTER MAINTENANCE:
A super chlorination dose once a month is necessary to maintain your pool in good condition during winter.
CAUTION:
Not to be used as a food container
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:
Store under cover in a dry, clean, cool, well ventilated place away from sunlight. Store and transportin an upright container. In case of spillage, flush with large quantaties of water.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL:
Rinse empty container in the pool/spa water before disposal. Dispose of empty container with household waste. DO NOT expose to temperatures below 0C.
Alka Boost
Recommended Range: Maintain total alkalinity between 125-150 ppm for optimal spa water balance.
Application Rate:
Use the chart below to determine correct dosage (see next worksheet)
Application Method:
1. Test water to determine current total alkalinity level
2. Calculate required amount of ALKA BOOST needed
3. Mix measured product in a clean bucket with water
4. Distribute solution evenly around spa with pump running
5. Run filtration system for at least 1 hour to ensure complete distribution
6. Retest water after 4 hours and adjust if necessary
