All About Bio-Dex Swimming Pool Products

 

I first found out about Bio-Dex when I started doing acid washes back in the day. I was looking for a way to reduce the fumes to make the acid wash process more manageable and my local supplier suggested Bio-Dex White n’ Brite. After doing an acid wash with it I was sold. The fumes were reduced by 75% and the acid washes became so much easier to do.

 Of course Bio-Dex makes a number of other products for algae treatment, scale treatment and tile cleaning and I have used most of them with very good results. Here is more about Bio-Dex:

 “Bio-Dex, is a trusted Industry leading manufacturer of chemicals for pools & spas. Our continuous dedication to developing and improving the chemicals that make swimming pool treatment and maintenance easier and more effective is the reason Bio-Dex products have been the choice of pool service professionals for over five decades.

 Our products are for anyone concerned with pool maintenance for both chlorine and salt water pools who are looking to prolong the life of a pool and protect the expensive equipment involved.”

 Here is more on my favorite product for acid washes and how to use it.

 Plaster White n’ Brite Instructions

A good starter mix is one gallon of acid added to two gallons of water. Use a five gallon clean plastic pail. Add eight ounces of Plaster White ‘n Brite to the diluted acid solution and stir for one minute. (option: add 8 oz Aquadex 50 Stain-Off as a booster)Pour the mixed solution along the tile line and allow it to run down the plaster and dwell for at least five minutes. Hose the product off. You can brush the pool if desired (optional). TIP:   Spa Foam stop will help to cut the foam when removing the wastewater.  Refill with Protect-All Supreme or Salt Protect for continued brightening.

 If you notice some stains on your pool or if you are doing an acid wash then the AquaDex 50 would be a great choice.

 Aquadex 50 Stain-Off / Spa Stain Off removes copper iron and metallic stains from plaster pools and black cobalt stains from fiberglass. Stain removal results can be noticed within 48 hours up to 10 days depending on how old or fresh the stains are. The product is stable at higher temperatures so works well in the spa environment. The effectiveness of Aquadex 50 Stain Off won’t be compromised by chlorine, acid, or other sanitizing products. The product can be mixed with Plaster White ‘n Brite as a booster for removing difficult metal stains in an acid wash.
