To get the best out of using Active oxygen, shock your pool with ficlor superchlorinator around every 10 days to help keep your water safe & crystal clear.
GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
• Do not leave non swimmers/children unattended
• Do not overload the pool
• Avoid sitting on pool walls
• Do not allow diving in shallow water
• Do not use during thunder storms
• Do not use electrical appliances near water
• Use plastic rather than glass around the pool
• Have a First Aid Kit available for any accidents
CHEMICAL HANDLING
• Read instructions thoroughly on each product/box before use
• When pre dissolving chemicals always add chemicals to water and not vice versa
• Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms including these kit products but also with other products like bleach or weed killers – a dangerous reaction may occur
• Always pre dissolve chemicals in a clean, plastic container in a well ventilated area
• Avoid spillages but in event of spillage clean up using clean receptacles and dispose in the pool. Flush cleaned spill areas with water
• Never use unlabeled chemicals
• Wash hands after handling pool chemicals
STORING CHEMICALS
• Store chemicals well away from children and pets
• Store in a secure, cool and dry place

This chlorine-free disinfection, based on active oxygen is non-odorous, gentle and soft to the skin, eyes and hair of swimming pool users. The effectiveness of the disinfection process is enhanced through the use of the algaecide, the second component. Together the two O2 components create a reliable water treatment system that guarantees optimal water quality. In addition, the water treatment system includes substances to clarify water thus ensuring water remains crystal clear. Finally, scale prevention and pH buffering agents are included to ensure operating on the O2
gentle system is simple and complete.
Aquablanc O2 Gentle is a fantastic twin sachet non-chlorine system for maintaining crystal clear & bacteria free swimming pool water. Supplied as a convenient twin sachet system, O2 Gentle provides water that is kinder to your skin, eyes & hair through oxygen based disinfection. O2 Gentle also contains clarifying properties & minimises scale formation making it the ideal product for maintaining optimum water quality. As a guide, Aquablanc O2 Gentle is applied to your pool once a week.
This product replaces the discontinued Fi-Clor Active Oxygen 3 in 1 Tabs, and the discontinued Fi-Clor Active Oxygen Activator Liquid.
Filtration and circulation – most swimming pools include a pump and filtration unit (sand or cartridge) as standard. It is a combination of circulating water through the filtration unit to collect suspended debris, together with good chemical water treatment, that helps you
maintain clear, clean and healthy water.
Ensure the integrity of your circulation pump and filtration unit are in full working order prior to using O2 Gentle (backwashing of sand filtration units to remove debris and/or cleaning cartridges may be required).
As a guide to running circulation, you should aim to ‘turn’ the full volume of water through the filtration unit at least once per day. Water testing and ideal pool levels – using MPS test strips, you are able to quickly and accurately assess the condition of your water and (where necessary) make
adjustments to these levels using appropriate chemicals.
Prior to dosing the Aquablanc O2 Gentle system, ensure that your pH is within the ideal range of 7.0 – 7.4, thus providing optimal chemical operating conditions, as well as protecting pool equipment and ensuring bather comfort (the pH of the eye is consistent with this level).
If the pH of your pool water is above 7.4 then use pH minus or pH reducer to lower it, using the application instructions on the bottle. If the pH of your pool water is below 7.00 then use pH Plus or pH Increaser to increase it, using the application instructions on the bottle.
Newly filled pools will benefit from a shock or superchlorination dose prior to dosing O2 Gentle.
For existing pools on other sanitisers such as chlorine or bromine, O2 Gentle is fully compatible and the change is simply one of ‘switching over’.
• Maintain pH in the ideal range of 7.0 – 7.4
• Ensure effective filtration/circulation at all times through regular backwashing and periodic filter cleaning.
• Periodic (minimum monthly) shock or oxidisation treatments.
• Regular maintenance and cleaning
O2 Gentle is a twin product system requiring the use of both the sachets. Open the sachets as marked by the scissor cut markings and add the contents directly to the pool water. Dose both
sachet A (Red) – containing the 220g of O2 Gentle powder, and a corresponding sachet B (Blue) containing 50ml of O2 Gentle liquid.
Freshly filled pools are recommended to have an initial or starter dose of chlorine to at least 5ppm (mg/lt), prior to routine sanitisation with any system including O2 Gentle. However, it is also increasingly considered good practise to routinely (fortnightly desirable/monthly minimal) shock treat / oxidise swimming pools. The frequency is essentially dictated by levels of
contamination, source of the refill water i.e. untreated well water, usage and weather.
Shock or oxidisation procedures ensure contamination and non filterable wastes like body oils and greases are broken down and removed more easily via the filter.
Whilst the use of a double of O2 Gentle sachets (as per initial dose) provides a shock or oxidiser dose, it is recommended to periodically use a chlorine donor to at least 5ppm (mg/lt) for such purposes, such as Pool Fusion or shock granules.
Periodic cleaning of waterline grease, pool steps and pool equipment will not only make your pool look good, but it will also enhance chemical effectiveness during the swimming season.
Use dedicated pool cleaning preparations (Tile and Liner Cleaner) as household cleaners often contain phosphates which can nurture algae growth and/or detergents which can cause foaming.
