Lo-Chlor Metal Solution
The Lo-Chlor Metal Solution (1 Litre) is a concentrated metal sequestrant designed to remove and control unwanted dissolved metals in swimming pools and spas. By forming complexes through chelation, it helps prevent and reduce metallic stains, discolouration, and scale formation. Ideal for both regular use and as a start-up treatment for new or resurfaced pools, Metal Solution ensures clearer water and protection for pool surfaces.

A Few Facts About Staining
- Organic Stains – Often removed by spot dosing with granular chlorine. Care should be taken to avoid bleaching surfaces, especially patterned vinyl liners.
- Metal Stains – Typically caused by dissolved iron or copper. Iron stains appear brown or rust-coloured, while copper stains may look blue, grey, or black. These are common in fibreglass pools. Traditional methods of treating iron staining include the addition of various organic acids, though these can sometimes disrupt water balance.
- Traditional acid treatments can disrupt water balance and affect chlorine test readings, making Lo-Chlor Metal Solution a safer and more reliable option.
