SWIMMING POOL WATER DISINFECTION

For a new pool or spring start-up superchlorinate with 10 to 20 oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH between 7.2 to 7.6. To maintain the pool, add manually or by a feeder device 2 oz. of this product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield an available chlorine residual between 0.6 to 1.0 ppm by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual of 1.0 to 1.5 ppm available chlorine. Test the pH available chlorine residual and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of water treatment will depend upon temperature and number of swimmers.

Every 7 days, or as necessary superchlorinate the pool with 10 to 20 oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine. Check the level of available chlorine with test kit. Do not re-enter pool until the chlorine residual is between 1.0 to 3.0 pm.

At the end of the swimming pool season or when water is to be drained from the pool, chlorine must be allowed to dissipate from treated pool water before discharge. Do not chlorinate the pool within 24 hours prior to discharge. WINTERZING POOLS – While water is still clear & clean, apply 0.6 oz. of product per 1000 gallons while filter is running, to obtain a 3 ppm available chlorine residual as determined by a suitable test kit. Cover pool, prepare heater, filter and heater components for winter by following manufacturer’s instructions.

 
SPAS HOT-TUBS IMMERSION TANKS ETC

SPAS / HOT TUBS - Apply 0.5 oz. of product per 500 gallons of water to obtain a free available chlorine concentration of 5 ppm as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH between 7.2 and 7.8. Some oils, lotions, fragrances, cleaners etc. may cause foaming or cloud water as well as reduce the efficiency of the product. To maintain the water, apply 0.5 oz. of product in 500 gallons over the surface to maintain a chlorine concentration of 5 ppm. After each use, shock treat with 1.5 oz of this product per 500 gallons of water to control odor and algae. During extended periods of disuse, add 1.5 oz. of this product daily per 500 gallons of water to maintain a 3 ppm chlorine concentration. HYDROTHERAPY TANKS -Add 1 oz. of this product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a chlorine residual of 1 ppm as determined by suitable chlorine test kit. Pools should not be entered until the chlorine residual is below 3 ppm. Adjust and maintain the water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6 Operate pool filter continuously. Drain pool weekly and clean before refilling.

 
SANITIZATION OF NONPOROUS FOOD CONTACT SURFACES

RINSE METHOD – A solution of 100 ppm available chlorine may be used in sanitizing solution if a chlorine test kit is available. Solutions containing an initial concentration of 100 ppm available chlorine must be tested and adjusted periodically to ensure that the available chlorine does not drop below 50 ppm. Prepare a 100 ppm sanitizing solution by thoroughly mixing 1 oz. of this product with 40 gallons of water. If no test kit is available prepare a sanitizing solution by thoroughly mixing 1 oz. of this product with 20 gallons of water to provide approximately 200 ppm available chlorine by weight. Clean equipment surfaces in the normal manner. Prior to use, rinse all surfaces thoroughly with the sanitizing solution, maintaining contact with the sanitizer for at least 2 minutes. If solution contains less than 50 ppm available chlorine as determined by suitable test kit either discard the solution, or add sufficient product to re-establish a 200 ppm residual. Do not rinse equipment with water after treatment and do not soak equipment overnight . Sanitizers used in automated systems may be used for general cleaning but may not be re-used for sanitizing purposes.

Clean equipment in the normal manner. Prior to use immerse equipment in the sanitizing solution for at least 2 minutes and allow the sanitizer to drain. If solution contains less than 50 ppm available chlorine as determined by a suitable test kit, either discard the solution or add sufficient product to re establish a 200 ppm residual. Do not rinse equipment with water after treatment.Sanitizers used in automated systems may be used for general cleaning but may not be re-used for sanitizing purposes.

FLOW/PRESSURE METHOD – Dis-assemble equipment and thoroughly clean after use. Assemble equipment in operating position prior to use. Prepare a volume of a 200 ppm available chlorine sanitizing solution equal to 110% of volume capacity of the equipment by mixing the product in a ratio of 1 oz. product with 20 gallons of water. Pump solution through the system until full flow is obtained at all extremities, the system is completely filled with sanitizer and all air removed from the system. Close drain valves and hold under pressure for at least 2 minutes to ensure contact with all internal surfaces. Remove some cleaning solution from drain valve and test with a chlorine test kit. Repeat entire cleaning – sanitizing process if effluent contains less than 50 ppm available chlorine.
