Blue Horizons Chlorine Reducer - Tub of 1Kg

Product Information

Maintaining the correct pH level in your pool plays an important role in how effective the chlorine is. The pH scale runs from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. Anything above 7 is considered alkaline and anything less than 7 is considered acidic. The easiest way to go about introducing more contaminants to your pool is to go for a swim. Natural body oils like sweat and saliva have a measurable impact on your chlorine level, especially if you can get more bodies involved. We advise you to obtain a correct level of total alkalinity (70-160 p.p.m) and then add small quantities of pre-dissolved pH Increaser (Sodium Carbonate) or pH Reducer (Sodium Bisulphate). User tip: If you’re using our multifunctional tabletswhich already contain algaecide, you should only dose your pool with 1 litre of algaecide for every 10,000 gallons of pool water at the start of each season. After that initial dose, the multifunctional tablets will supply sufficient algaecide to help prevent algae from getting established.

As a general rule, 2 litres of swimming pool dechlorinator per 10,000 gallons of pool water will reduce the chlorine level by 5ppm. On that note, you won’t have much wiggle room if your water exceeds the recommended chlorine level while having little to no cyanuric acid in your water, so always err on the side of caution. 4 Ways to Lower Your Chlorine Level (Best to Worst)Apply each smaller dose, allowing time to thoroughly circulate (2-3 hours for commercial pools/6-8 hours for domestic pools) before re-testing chlorine/bromine level and if necessary adding further doses An elevated chlorine level isn’t usually a serious problem, but it can lead to some complications with the balance of your water. It also makes for a less enjoyable swim. User tip: to increase the free chlorine by 1ppm (parts per million), add 100 grams per 10,000 gallons. What are stabilised chlorine tablets? Brush regularly, especially the pool walls and deep end, to prevent invisible algae colonies from forming. If there is insufficient calcium in the water of a tiled pool, the water will, over time, dissolve the calcium in the grout, making it soft. Eventually, the grout will disappear, leaving sharp edges which pose a cut risk to bathers. In a tiled pool, the calcium hardness should be kept above 200ppm. Calcium hardness can be increased by adding calcium chloride (calcium builder).

This Chlorine Reducer is a crystal additive that can be used to lower the chlorine/bromine level where overdosing has occurred.

Please Note: DO NOT MIX WITH ANY STABILISED CHLORINE AS IT WILL EXPLODE! Please make sure your skimmer is free from all other types of chlorine before pouring it into the skimmer. Stabilised Chlorine Granules Split this total amount into 4 smaller doses. Apply each 1/4 dose, allowing time to thoroughly circulate (2-3 hours for commercial pools / 6-8 hours for domestic pools) before re-testing chlorine/bromine level and if necessary adding further doses. Carefully add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump(s) are turned “on”, preferably near to the water inlets to aid distribution Fi-Clor offers a comprehensive range of high quality pool chemicals and pool chlorine, ideal for your swimming pool, spa pool or above ground pool. If your chlorine level is really high or you just don’t have the luxury of time, consider adding a chlorine neutralizer to your water.

Stabilised Chlorine Tabletsare provided in two tablet sizes: 20 gramsand 200 grams. Twenty-gram tablets are designed for maintaining above-ground swimming pools (which are typically smaller) while 200-gram tablets are designed for larger in-ground pools with a larger volume of water. They are added to the water via a floating dispenser or the skimmer basket. With that predicament in mind, it’s important to make sure the alkalinity level of your pool is correct before any pH alterations are carried out. After the correct alkalinity level is established, test the pH level of the water. If the pH level needs increasing further, add sodium carbonate (pH plus)and, if it needs decreasing, add sodium bisulphate (pH minus).Over-Chlorinated / Bromine spa water can be harmful to health. Chlorine Reducer is a fast way to lower the chlorine level to a safe limit for spa use.

Reason for Testing: Calcium hardness is usually a problem for tiled pools in soft water areas. This is due to there not being enough calcium in the water so it will dissolve the calcium in the grout making it soft. In general this is not a problem in hard water areas as the water contains sufficient calcium.
