HTH Metal Remover 1L

HTH Metal Remover 1L is a specialised liquid sequestering agent designed to neutralise dissolved metals in swimming pool water.

This chemical treatment effectively prevents and removes surface staining and water discolouration caused by minerals such as iron, copper, and manganese, ensuring that pool surfaces remain pristine and clear for South African homeowners using various water sources.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Metal Neutralisation: Specifically formulated to bind with dissolved minerals, preventing them from oxidising and settling on pool floors or walls.
• • Stain Prevention: Targets brown, green, or black staining caused by high metal concentrations often found in borehole or municipal water.
• • Surface Protection: Safe for use on all pool types, including marbleite, fibreglass, vinyl liners, and tiled finishes.
• • Water Clarity: Helps resolve "t coloured" or murky water tints caused by suspended metallic particles.
• • Packaging: One litre easy pour bottle provides a concentrated dose for standard domestic swimming pool volumes.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Borehole Water Dosing: Use as a preventative measure whenever the pool is topped up with mineral rich borehole water.
• • Initial Treatment: Add five hundred millilitres per fifty thousand litres of water for light discolouration or the full bottle for heavy metal presence.
• • Application Method: Pour the product directly into the pool weir while the pump and filter system are running to ensure thorough circulation.
• • Balanced Water: For maximum efficacy, ensure the pool pH is adjusted to between seven point two and seven point six before application.
• • Filtration: Run the filter for at least 12 to 24 hours after adding the chemical to allow the sequestered metals to be captured or neutralised.

Safety and Storage

• • Safe Handling: Wear protective gloves and eye protection; avoid breathing in any vapours and wash hands immediately after use.
• • Storage: Keep the bottle upright in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals like chlorine.
• • First Aid: In the event of skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with fresh water for at least fifteen minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I add this at the same time as chlorine? It is best to wait 24 hours after adding metal remover before shocking the pool with chlorine to prevent the chemicals from reacting with each other.
• • Will it remove old, set in stains? This product is most effective on fresh stains and dissolved metals; older, deeply embedded mineral stains may require a specialised stain lifting treatment.
• • Is it safe for saltwater systems? Yes, the formula is compatible with saltwater chlorinators and will not affect the operation of the salt cell.
