Calcinex®
Calcinex is a stable chlorine liquid that prevents the appearance of lime and metals on the surfaces of your pool. It makes the lime become suspended in the water and not stick to the walls or the bottom. Dosing 300 ml of Calcinex® for every 10 m³ of fresh water after filling the pool will prevent the formation of these types of deposits.
The product PM-650 Ivernet 6M prevents the creation of algae, the decomposition of water, and lime becoming encrusted on the walls and bottom of the pool. Maintain a single dose of 1 L for every 10/15 m3 of water for 6 months.
