De-chlorinator

Chemical Name: Sodium Thiosulphate
Description: Quickly removes excess chlorine from your pool or spa should over chlorination occur.
Sizes Available: 1 litre, 2.5 litre, 5 litre (select below)

Dosing Instructions (Pool)

• To view a dosing chart for de-chlorinator please see our De-chlorinating section below.
• Maintain a chlorine level between 1 and 3 ppm.

Sometimes too much chlorine gets into the pool - often by accidentally overdosing with chlorine or after shock dosing to get rid of algae. It is not recommended to swim in water with more than 3 parts per million chlorine. Chlorine remover (sodium thiosulphate) will remove that chlorine so you can swim straight away. Be careful not to overdose chlorine remover or you will have to add lots of chlorine to remove the chlorine remover. That is good for chemical suppliers profits but not for your pocket....

First carefully test the pool water to get an accurate chlorine level (see testing for high levels of chlorine). Work out how much you need from the chart below :

Amount of de-chlorinator required to de-chlorinate various volumes of pool water in grams:

To use dissolve correct amount of de-chlorinator from above table in a plastic bucket of warm water. Distribute evenly through the water. Allow pool water to turn over twice before further analysis.

CAUTION: Under-dose rather then overdose
