Lo-Chlor Spotaway
The Lo-Chlor Spotaway (4 kg) is a specialist treatment designed for the removal of black spots in fibreglass pools, commonly associated with osmosis. These black marks are not algae but are instead a cobalt hydroxide accretion unique to fibreglass pool surfaces. Spotaway provides a highly effective method for removing these stains, along with calcium, copper and iron deposits, restoring fibreglass pools to a cleaner and brighter finish.
