If algae have developed, it is recommended to first treat the algae with a long-lasting algaecide before starting phosphate removal.
- Clean or set the filter to Backwash operation and ensure that the pool water is balanced.
- Shake the container well before use.
- Slowly add the required amount of Starver® X to the pool water just in front of the skimmer inlet.
- Immediately after adding Starver® X, it is recommended to place a Lo-Chlor Miraclear Clarifier Pool Cube directly into the skimmer basket. Adding a Miraclear Pool Clarifier Cube will reduce the cloudiness caused by phosphate removal.
- Run the pump and filter for 24 hours. Regularly check the filter pressure and perform Backwash if necessary.
- Check the phosphate levels in the pool water at least 24 hours after treatment.
- If needed, reapply the product until phosphate levels reach acceptable levels. For faster results, the dosage of Starver® X can be repeated every 24 hours.
After treatment, regularly monitor the phosphate levels in your pool.
