No Dran Acid Wash

DO NOT ADD THIS PRODUCT DIRECTLY TO AN OXIDIZER (SUCH AS CHLORINE, BROMINE, NON-CHLORINE SHOCK, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, ETC.). ADD DIRECTLY TO THE POOL/SPA OR A CLEAN BUCKET OF WATER.

1. Prepare the pool in the following manner:
1.1 Wait for the water temperature to reach 60°F or higher.
1.2 Lower the chlorine level to below one (1) ppm - the lower the better - by either abstaining from adding chlorine or using a chlorine neutralizer, such as No Mor Chlor™ or an equivalent product. You may use Poly60 Treat™ or an equivalent algicide to prevent algae during stain treatment.
1.2 Turn off all equipment and schedules. Do not allow equipment to turn on during the procedure.
1.3 Protect any exposed metal surfaces in the water with petroleum jelly.
2. Add the following for every 5,000 gallons of water to begin the acid wash:
2.1 Add five (5) pounds of No Mor Muriatic Acid™ or dry acid by dissolving it in a clean bucket of water and pouring evenly around the pool avoiding steps or shallow areas.
2.2 Add two (2) pounds of No Dran Acid Wash™ by dissolving it in a clean bucket of water and pouring evenly around the pool avoiding steps or shallow areas. Some clouding of the water is normal.
2.3 For plaster pools: add two (2) gallons of muriatic acid. If hardness is greater than 500 ppm, scaling is present, OR total alkalinity is above 180 ppm add one (1) additional gallon of muriatic acid.
2.4 For attached spas: add two (2) pounds of No Dran Acid Wash™ for every 500 gallons of water.
3. Brush the pool daily with a nylon brush. For wipeable stains, wrap a towel around the brush and use it to scrub the stains.
4. Maintain a zero alkalinity during the process by adding one (1) gallon of muriatic acid for every 10 ppm of Alkalinity per 15,000 gallons.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 according to the following timelines:
5.1 Plaster/Gunite: up to five (5) days. Do not wait longer than six (6) days to rebalance.
5.2 Fiberglass/Vynil: four (4) to eight (8) hours.
6. Once the stains and/or scale have lifted, or on the sixth (6th) day, perform a base demand test to begin rebalancing the pool:
6.1 Divide the recommended dose of ph/alkalinity increaser to determine the amount of Easy pH Up™ needed. DO NOT USE SODA ASH. This will cause staining. It is also strongly recommended to avoid sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), as this may also trigger staining.
6.2 Dissolve up to one (1) pound of Easy pH Up™ in a clean bucket of water before pouring it evenly around the pool. Brush the pool for every four (4) pounds added. Once the pH has reached 7.2, the equipment can be turned back on.
7. Use a stain preventative such as No Mor Stain & Scale™ weekly to keep the pool free of stains.

We recommend balancing using the Hamilton Index™.
