Potassium
monopersulfate is used as an auxiliary oxidant (shocking agent) in
swimming pools and spas for the purpose of reducing the organic content
of the water. It is the active ingredient in most non-chlorine shock
products designed for use in swimming pools, and it’s the active
ingredient in essentially all non-chlorine shock products formulated
for use in spas and hot tubs. Shock products containing potassium
monopersulfate provides many benefits.
>> It will not produce chloramines or generate irritating
chloramines odors
>> It can promotes maximum sanitizer efficiency by oxidizing and
eliminating contaminant waste
>> It restores sparkle and clarity
>> It is gentle on pool surfaces—dissolves quickly and completely
and will not bleach or fade vinyl liners or painted surfaces
>> It will not raise calcium hardness or increase cyanuric acid
stabilizer levels
>> It is easy to use—simply broadcast uniformly over pool water
surface, with filter running, to ensure complete mixing and circulation
Potassium monopersulfate fits easily into most water treatment programs
for all types of pools and spas and provides sufficient oxidation to
enhance sanitizer efficiencies and produce clear, sparkling water.
Potassium monopersulfate can be added to pool water day or night,
and swimming can resume after a short waiting period to allow for
adequate
mixing and dispersion throughout the pool. No mixing is
required—potassium
monopersulfate is completely soluble in water and dissolves quickly.
Broadcast
monopersulfate shock slowly and uniformly over the surface of the
water,
adding about two-thirds of the total dose over the deep end. Shock with
the filter running to ensure complete mixing and good circulation.
How to use potassium monopersulfate?
>> For residential swimming pools; For pools with moderate daily
use, add potassium monopersulfate weekly at a dose of 500 gr. for a pool of 40m3 (normal pool
size). More frequent and/or heavier doses may be required when
bather loads are extremely heavy or following heavy rains or high winds.
>> For public swimming pools; A good starting point is to shock
weekly with 500-1000gr. of potassium monopersulfate per 40m3 of pool water. The dose required and the shock
frequency will depend largely on the bather load.
>> For spas; Potassium monopersulfate should be added to spa
water after every use, at a dose of about 1 Tablespoon (21 gr.) /m3 one
to two ounces per 250 gallons, to immediately oxidize and eliminate
organic contaminants introduced by bathers. Public spas which are used
every day may need to oxidize with potassium monopersulfate daily. |
