How much product does my pool water require?

It is not possible to determine how much Water Treatment Product your pool needs without first knowing the following information:

The volume of your pool water (Preferably in litres) – Make a note of this.

Your Test Kit Results – You need to know the condition of your pool water before you can determine how much of a Water Treatment Product is required to adjust pool water to the optimum level.

The optimum level for your pool water – The following charts will enable you to determine what level you need to achieve.

Recommended Levels for your pool

Dosage Rates for your pool

All dosage rates are per 1000 litres of pool water.

As an example let us assume that your pool contains 10,000l (2,200gal) of water, and that your pool water test gives the following readings: Free Chlorine = 0ppm, and pH = 7.7

To increase the chlorine residual of your pool water to the maximum recommended level of 3 parts per minimum you will need to add 6g of Stabilised Chlorine Granules per 1000 litres.

If your pool holds 10,000l of pool water this will equate to 60g.

To reduce the pH of your pool water you will need to add pH Minus at a rate of 10g per 1000l of pool water. Consequently if your pool holds 10,000l of water you will need to add 100g of pH Minus per day until your Test Kit results indicates that the pH of your pool water is 7.4.

For a 10,000l pool you will need to add 100ml of Concentrated Blue Algicide initially, then 20ml every 2 weeks. Take care not to over-dose this product; use the calibration marks on the side of the bottle to ensure that you dose the correct amount.

Caution – Never mix any swimming pool water treatment products together. Each product needs to be added to the pool water separately. Always add granules to water, never add water to granules.
