1. Allow at least 8-12 hours for superchlorination treatment to oxidize wastes and chloramines from the pool water. Add BioGuard ChemOut to lower the free chlorine reading to the required 3.0 ppm level before swimming. Before adding any product to the pool, measure the free chlorine in the water. This must be done to determine the correct dosage of BioGuard ChemOut.
2. To Measure the free chlorine in water, test using either a BioGuard water test kit or the BioGuard 4-way Test Strips. First, test the superchlorinated pool as you would normally. If the available or free chlorine reading is above the highest level shown on the tests color comparitor or to get a more definitive result at high chlorine levels, it may be necessary to dilute the water sample. To dilute the water sample, using a measuring cup, add one cup of pool water to one cup of tap water. Gently stir the diluted water and then test the diluted water using either BioGuard water test kit or BioGuard 4-way test strips. When you have determined the free chlorine level of the diluted sample multiply this level by 2. You now have the free chlorine level of the pool.
3. To calculate the ppm available chlorine that must be removed from the pool, subtract 3 ppm from the free chlorine level of the pool. The resulting number is the amount of free chlorine you must remove before it is safe to swim. Use the chart on the bottle to calculate the required dose using the measuring cup supplied with this product. Add this product directly to the pool scattering around the edge of the pool. Keep the pump on and water circulating.
4. Do not add treatment through skimmer.

3. Adjust the chlorine/bromine residual to less than 1 ppm (for Softswim pools, a B residual of 30 to 50 ppm).
4. Adjust pH to between 7.0 to 7.4.
5. Adjust alkalinity to between 125 to 150 ppm (or 80 to 150 ppm if using a salt generator).
6. Adjust calcium hardness to less than 400 ppm.

Stain Treatment:

1. Wearing safety glasses/goggles and with the circulation pump running, add 2 lbs of Iron Stain Remover per 12,000 gallons of pool water. Add the product along the edges of your pool for even distribution. If stains are concentrated in any one area, apply product over it. Use a surface compatible brush to disperse any un-dissolved particles.
2. Allow water to circulate for 1 hour, then apply the correct dosage of Pool Magnet Plus (or Softswim Stain Control for Softswim pools) per label directions.
3. Allow pool to circulate water for 24 hours.
4. Apply Sparkle Up (or Softswim Filter Aid for Softswim pools) from filter by backwashing or cleaning cartridges.
5. Apply BioGuard Kleen It (or Softswim Filter Cleaner for Softswim pools) according to label directions to remove any trapped metals in the filter itself. Complete stain removal may take up to two weeks or require a second treatment.
6. Readjust water chemistry back to optimal ranges (pH between 7.2 to 7.6, alkalinity 125-150 ppm or 80 to 150 for pools with salt generators). Also readjust chlorine/bromine or Softswim sanitizers to correct levels as determined by label directions. Softswim pools also need to adjust Clarifier levels to 30 ppm.
7. After treatment is complete, use Pool Magnet Plus or other metal-preventing chemicals to stop metals from building up in your pool water. For Softswim pools, use Softswim Stain Control. Always follow label directions when adding chemicals.
8. A repeat treatment may be necessary if stains are still present 48 hours after completing the treatment cycle.

Sunlight, rainfall, temperature, number of swimmers, and frequency of pool use affects the rate of chlorine residual loss so check the floater or feeder often and refill as needed.

Re-entry into treated swimming pools is prohibited when free available chlorine levels are above 4 ppm due to rich of body injury.
