TropiClear Conditioner

Description: TropiClear Conditioner slows the breakdown of active chlorine due to the effects of sun, heat and other adverse effects. Conditioner will help maintain a continuous chlorine residual and is effective for both liquid and dry types of chlorine sanitizers.

Packaging: Bag & Bucket

Weight: 4, 5, 10, 50 & 100 lbs.

Dosage: Predissolve the required amount of Conditioner (dosage chart below) in a bucket of hot water and stir. Conditioner is a slow dissolving product that is to be poured around the pools perimeter.

Pool Volume Dosage
500 - 1,000 gallons 0.25 - 0.5 lbs
5,000 gallons 1.25 - 1.5 lbs.
10,000 gallons 2.5 - 3.0 lbs

TropiClear Alkalinity Control

Description: It is important to keep your pool water in balance to get the most effective use of your chemicals. Test daily to ensure that pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and cyanuric acid (stabilizer) are within the correct levels.

Packaging: Bag & Bucket

Weight: 5 & 10lbs.

Dosage: As a general rule, 1.5lbs. of Alkalinity Control per 10,000 gallons of water will raise alkalinity by 10 ppm. Make certain circulation equipment is operating before adding Alkalinity Control. Allow water to recirculate for two to three hours and retest for pH and total alkalinity. Repeat treatment until range of 100 - 500 ppm is reached for concrete pools and 125 - 150 ppm for vinyl or fiberglass pools.

Pool Capacity 10 ppm 20 ppm 30 ppm 40 ppm
5,000 1 lb. 2 lb. 3 lb. 4 lb.
10,000 1.5 lb. 3 lb. 4.5 lb. 6 lb.
20,000 3 lb. 6 lb. 9 lb. 12 lb.
30,000 4.5 lb. 9 lb. 12 lb. 18 lb.

TropiClear Calcium Hardness Treatment

TropiClear Calcium Hardness Treatment

Description: This product is used to raise calcium hardness in swimming pool water. Low calcium hardness causes pool water to be corrosive and may result in staining, etching or distorting of the pool's finish. Plaster etched by low calcium hardness will become abrasive and uncomfortable for swimmers. Rough plaster increases algae problems and makes cleaning more difficult.

Packaging: Bag & Bucket

Weight: 4 & 10 lbs.

Dosage: Calcium hardness in pool water should be maintained in the 225-300 ppm range. Never allow calcium hardness to remain below 100 ppm. As a general rule, the addition of 6lbs. per 10,000 gallons of water will raise calcium hardness approximately 50 ppm.

Add TropiClear Calcium Hardness directly to pool water by scattering it over a large area. Do not pre-dissolve this treatment as heat is generated when this product contacts water. Use a surface compatible brush to brush away un-dissolved granules off pool surfaces.

TropiClear pH Plus

Description: pH Plus raises pH levels to prevent corrosion and eye/skin irritation. Protects expensive equipment. Contains sodium carbonate “soda ash”.

Packaging: Bag & Bucket

Weight: 5 & 10 lbs.

Dosage: To raise pH, distribute 1 lb. per 10,000 gallons of water while walking around the perimeter of the pool. Allow water to recirculate two to three hours, recheck pH, and repeat treatment as necessary to reach a pH level of 7.4 - 7.6.

Do not add more than 4lbs of pH Plus per 10,000 gallons of water at any one time.

Correct water balance provides the ideal conditions for bather comfort, effective pool maintenance and best value use of sanitizer and cleansing products.
