General instructions
If there is algae already present, this should be treated prior to applying Lo-Chlor Algaecide by shock dosing the pool with either a shock chlorine or non-chlorine shock product then running the filtration for 24 hours.
- Ensure no bathers are using the pool before application.
- The pH level should be in the 7.0-7.2 range, adjust if necessary.
- Thoroughly clean the pool by brushing the walls and floor, vacuum the pool and filter as normal.
- Using the below dosage table, add the required dose to water in a clean plastic bucket. With your circulation running, evenly distribute around the perimeter of the pool.
- Circulation of the pool water should be continued for 24 hours, ensuring no other chemicals are added during this period.
- Adjust the pH to within 7.2-7.6 if not in this range already.
- After 1 full turnover of the pool water (typically 4-5 hours) bathing can be resumed.
Notes:
- After using Lo-Chlor Algaecide it is recommended to use Lo-Chlor Starver phosphate remover. This will prevent the re-occurrence of algae, and assist in helping the efficiency of other chemicals in your pool.
- Copper in water will reduce the activity of chlorine and bromine – check levels 24 hours following application and adjust to recommended range if necessary.

Aquasparkle 1KG Multi Functional Chlorine Tablets
Genuine Aquasparkle product
Aquasparkle Multifunctional Mini 20g Chlorine Tablets are designed for maintaining water quality in hot tubs, spas, and above-ground pools. Here’s a breakdown of their use and application instructions:
Ideal Water Levels:
- Prior to using these tablets, it’s important to adjust the pH levels of your water to the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. This helps ensure bather comfort, protects spa equipment, and promotes the effective use of chemicals.
Tablet Features:
- These tablets slowly erode over 3-5 days, depending on factors such as temperature and water flow. Because they release chlorine slowly, it may be necessary to shock dose or oxidize the water before their use to establish chlorine more rapidly.
- Ideal chlorine levels should be between 1-3 mg/l (ppm) for pools and 3-5 mg/l (ppm) for spas, as measured by a test kit or test strips.
- These tablets are multifunctional, containing a built-in clarifier and algaecide to help maintain clear and clean water.

ACTI 5 5KG Multifunctional Chlorine Tablets (200g) Stabilised
Genuine ACTI Product
Key Features:
- Slow Erosion Over 3-5 Days, Depending on Water Flow
- Contains Clarifier & Algaecide
- Ideal for Maintaining Bacteria-Free and Healthy Swimming Pool Water
- Effective pH Range: 7.2 – 7.6
- Chlorine Levels: 1.0-3.0 mg/l (ppm)
Product Description: Ensuring your swimming pool remains a safe and enjoyable space requires the effective control of bacteria, and the most common method for achieving this is by using chlorine. However, before introducing chlorine, it’s imperative to establish the correct water balance. Once the water balance falls within the recommended pH range of 7.2 – 7.6, maintaining chlorine levels between 1.0-3.0 mg/l (ppm) is typically sufficient to preserve a bacteria-free swimming environment.
There are two key indicators of a well-managed chlorine-treated pool: it should be odourless, and the level of chloramines should be maintained at less than 0.5 mg/l.
Usage Guidelines:
- As these tablets release chlorine gradually, consider performing a shock dose or oxidation treatment before their use to establish chlorine levels more rapidly.
- Important: Do not add the tablets directly to the pool. Always use a clean applicator, ensuring no other products are present.

Product Name: ACTI 5KG Large (200g) Stabilised Chlorine Tablets
Genuine ACTI Product
Key Features:
- High Chlorine Concentration
- Gradual Dissolution Over 3.5 Days (Depending on Water Flow)
- Recommended pH Range: 7.2 – 7.6
- Effective Bacteria Control for Swimming Pools
Product Description: ACTI LARGE Stabilised Chlorine Tablets are a reliable solution for maintaining clean and healthy swimming pool water. With a high chlorine concentration, these tablets dissolve slowly over approximately 3.5 days, ensuring consistent and efficient water treatment. However, some initial adjustments might be needed.
Before using these chlorine tablets, it’s crucial to ensure your pool’s pH levels are within the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. Given the gradual chlorine release, it might be necessary to shock your pool initially to establish chlorine levels more rapidly.
The recommended chlorine levels for a bacteria-free swimming pool typically range between 1-3 mg/l (ppm). Achieving this balance is essential for crystal-clear, odourless pool water. Maintaining chlorine within this range not only keeps the water safe but also prevents the formation of chloramines, which should be kept below 0.5 mg/l.

Blue Horizons 2KG Multifunctional Ultimate Stabilised Chlorine Granules
Genuine Blue Horizons Product
An enhanced, multifunctional stabilised chlorine granule, containing extra ingredients to clarify the water and inhibit algae growth. Apply daily to achieve the recommended free chlorine level of 1 – 3mg/l (ppm). The granules have little effect on the pH of the pool water and are stabilised which means chlorine loss to sunlight is minimised in outdoor pools.
Usage Guidelines:
- Keep your pH level within the ideal range of 7.2–7.6; make necessary adjustments if it falls outside this range.
- For pool temperatures exceeding 20oC, directly apply this product. If the temperature is lower or you’re uncertain, pre-dissolve the product in a clean plastic container. The recommended rate is 100g of product per 2.2 gallons (10lt) of water. Stir thoroughly to ensure full dissolution and add the solution to the pool or spa with the pump(s) running. For even distribution, consider placing the inlet near water inlets.
- If needed, repeat the application to attain your desired chlorine levels.
- For routine maintenance, we recommend shocking or oxidizing your water weekly or fortnightly. See website for relevant products.
