Aqua Blanket For Building Code

The Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (2014) (below) requires some type of pool cover be used in order to pass building inspection. Some Florida locales accept Aqua Blanket as a suitable liquid cover to meet this code.

2017 Florida Energy Code
C404.9.3 Covers

Outdoor heated swimming pools and outdoor permanent spas shall be equipped with a vapor-retardant cover on or at the water surface or a liquid cover or other means proven to reduce heat loss.

Exception: Where more than 70 percent of the energy for heating, computed over an operating season, is from site-recovered energy such as from a heat pump or solar energy source, covers or other vapor-retardant means shall not be required.

Liquid covers are the most convenient way to be compliant when completing a pool. Plan ahead and ask your Lo-Chlor rep for Aqua Blanket right away.

FastStart-Tech Useful Tips

FastStart-Tech is the perfect product to prevent stains and mottling during new pool start-ups. It reduces start-up time and effort, controls plaster dust and yields no phosphates. But it’s not only for start-ups!

This safe but powerful formulation is also used for ongoing scale prevention:

Strong liquid chlorine usage can cause scaling but FastStart-Tech keeps scale under control.
FastStart-Tech is also used in pools with salt chlorine generators to minimize and prevent scale build-up on the plates.
As a superior alternative to acid for scale prevention and for start-ups, many pool service companies use FastStart-Tech. It’s pH neutral, easy to use and safe, so retail stores offer it to pool owners, too.

Ask your Lo-Chlor rep for FastStart-Tech and try it for safe, speedy start-ups and easy scale control.
For more than start-ups.

Metal Gone for Hard Surfaces

You know Metal Gone as the solution to removing metal stains in swimming pools. When metals appear in excess amounts they can adhere to the pool surface, requiring a metal sequestrant be added to the water to bind them until they are safely filtered out.

Metal Gone is also capable of removing stains from hard surfaces:

Apply Metal Gone full strength to a cloth and rub directly on hard surfaces, such as steel ladders or PVC pipes, etc. to remove the metal stain.
Metal Gone can also remove scale buildup on glass tiles and adjacent grout positioned behind water features. These often develop a hard, white film on them (scale) that Metal Gone will remove.

Ask your Lo-Chlor rep for Metal Gone and try these time-saving solutions!

Lo-Phos® Max Useful Tips

Algae needs phosphates. When phosphates are removed from pool water, algae loses the food it needs to grow. Lo-Phos Max provides the strongest liquid phosphate remover in the pool chemicals industry.

Follow directions and pay attention to these key points:

When pouring Lo-Phos Max into the pool, make sure you fully disperse the product throughout the pool so it mixes thoroughly with pool water and works most effectively. Do not pour the dosage all in one area (slug dose).
As the formula begins working, wait a full 24 HOURS. In some pools the actual phosphate level can be above the maximum reading of a test kit or test strip. In those cases, multiple doses may be necessary to measure a reduction.

Follow these directions to powerfully halt algae growth every time. Ask your Lo-Chlor rep about Lo-Phos Max now.

Leak Sealer Useful Tips

Up to an inch of water loss per day might not seem like much, but pool leaks waste thousands of gallons of water every year and should be fixed without delay.

Just one inch of water loss per day from a 15,000 gallon pool equals 111,000 gallons wasted per year!

Draining pools for leak repair not only throws away more water, but also takes time and increases water costs enormously.

Another cost is the fee for Leak Detection service to locate pool leaks. Instead, Leak Sealer can find the leak on its own! While we often can’t see where leaks come from, when Leak Sealer encounters air from a water leak it seals the opening quickly – usually within 24 hours. Use Leak Sealer for water loss of up to one inch per day.

Try Leak Sealer first and choose the repair you can make yourself. Ask your Lo-Chlor^® rep and follow the easy directions.
