Removes Copper and Iron Stains
Dissolved metals in swimming pool water can produce unsightly stains on pool surfaces. Iron may cause reddish-brown discoloration, while copper can contribute to blue-green or darker staining.
Bio-Dex Aquadex 50 is designed to help remove compatible metal stains and restore the appearance of affected pool surfaces without requiring complete pool draining.
Helps Remove Black Cobalt Stains
Aquadex 50 can also help treat black cobalt staining found on some fiberglass swimming pools and spas.
Results depend on the age, severity, and source of the staining. Additional treatment may be required for stubborn deposits.
Recommended Treatment Dosage
A commonly published treatment dosage for Bio-Dex Aquadex 50 is:
- 10,000 Gallons: 32 fl oz (1 Quart)
- 20,000 Gallons: 64 fl oz (2 Quarts)
- 30,000 Gallons: 96 fl oz (3 Quarts)
One 32 oz bottle provides the commonly listed initial treatment amount for a 10,000-gallon pool. Treatment requirements may vary depending on stain severity and water conditions.
Always follow the current Bio-Dex product label and treatment instructions.
How to Use Bio-Dex Aquadex 50
- Identify the likely source of the pool staining.
- Test and adjust pool water chemistry as recommended by Bio-Dex.
- Determine the treatment amount based on pool volume and stain severity.
- Apply Aquadex 50 directly to pool water in the affected areas according to the product instructions.
- Operate the circulation and filtration system as directed.
- Monitor stain reduction over the following several days.
- Repeat treatment only when necessary and according to the manufacturer.
Bio-Dex recommends maintaining water pH near 7.2 during treatment for improved stain removal performance. Stain removal may take up to 10 days.
Help Prevent Metal Stains from Returning
Removing visible stains does not necessarily eliminate dissolved metals from the pool water or correct the underlying source of staining.
Bio-Dex recommends combining Aquadex 50 with Protect All Supreme as part of a stain and scale control maintenance program.
