EasyWash ABC & 123
Scaletec Plus® Enhanced Procedure - with 50% or less ACID!
This new enhanced procedure is as easy as ABC & 123
Utilizing the de-scaling technology of Scaletec Plus calcium scale and stain remover many pools can now be restored with significantly less acid, surface damage and hazards to workers exposed to harsh acids.
Enhanced Procedure Pretreatment:
A. TREAT THE WATER: Add 1 (one) bottle of Scaletec Plus® (64 oz. size) per 10,000 gallons, two to six weeks before the scheduled acid wash or below option. Operate pool pump the normal scheduled cycle. Adjust and keep ph to neutral 7.0, keep chlorine levels 0 - 1ppm. Use thiosulfate to reduce high levels of chlorine and consider a nonmetallic algaecide (if needed) to keep pool water clear. Keeping chlorine tabs in a floater with low to 0 chlorine levels in the pool is also a strategy many use to keep pool clear.
B. RAISE THE WATER: If you also have calcium buildup on the tile, raise and maintain the water level during this pre-enhanced procedure phase - this will soften and/or dissolve the scale. (See Scaletec bottle spot-test, for best results)
C. BRUSH THE POOL: For best results use a combo brush (50/50 Nylon & Stainless) to brush the pool as often as possible. As the stains are lifting, you may notice slight cloudiness when you brush.
1. Drain and refill /or R.O. Treatment option
After the above pre-treatment procedure additional cleaning may not be necessary. Remember the treated water will now have all the calcium and dissolved solids that were trapped in the surface. Draining or cleaning (Reverse Osmosis) the water is highly recommended. *
2. Drain and Power wash option
Before proceeding with scheduled acid wash, many service techs have found that "power washing" is all that is needed to remove scale and stain on pool finish and tile. *
3. Drain & Acid wash option
Test a small area with a reduced percentage of acid to determine the total amount of reduced acid that will be needed. Consider a power wash or bead blast of tile. Perform acid wash as normal. *
Now that you are done. We recomend you keep your work beautiful by adding and maintaining Beautec Ultimate Surface Protector as on going maintinance.
