Description
Keeps Metals and Minerals Off Your Surfaces
PristineClean® is the scale and metal inhibitor of the PristineBlue Pool & Spa Care System. It keeps metal and mineral particles that enter your water from bonding to walls, tile and equipment, so you avoid stains and scale.
The concentrated, low-dosing formula goes in every two weeks with the rest of your PristineBlue maintenance, in pools, spas and hot tubs.
Stops Stains Before They Start
Metals ride in on fill water, hoses, corroding equipment, jewelry and zippers. PristineClean holds them in the water so they cannot bond to surfaces and leave stains.
Low Dose, Long Bottle Life
Pools need just 2 fl oz per 10,000 gallons every two weeks, and hot tubs need only 1 mL per 100 gallons. One quart lasts a long time.
Also Treats Mineral Stains
When a sock test confirms a mineral stain, the PristineBlue guide calls for 3 fl oz of PristineClean per 1,000 gallons with 48 hours of filtration.
PristineBlue also recommends using it as directed to help prevent swimmer's green hair.
