Usage
What water features can I use it with?
Any water feature that does not have aquatic animals or aquatic plants living inside of it. This includes features with both running water and static water.
How much time before I see results?
Anywhere from 3 days to a week depending on the hardness of your water.
Will it protect from effects of very hard water (i.e., water scaling)?
Yes it will protect the finish of your water feature from water scaling. For unusually hard water we recommend doubling the dosage. However, it will not eliminate existing water scaling or stains due to hard water.
Can I use it as a cleaner?
Yes. If your water feature is dirty and heavily overrun with algae, apply once up to 5 times the dosage. You can expect to see results within 3 to 4 days.
Will it stain my water feature?
No it will not. If you experience blue stains it might be due to the product attaching to porous surfaces. This is easily fixed by gently scrubbing the area with a soft brush (e.g., a toothbrush).
