Revive! Pool Phosphate and Algae Remover, Start Up/Clean Up 32 oz sprayer

APi Revive! is a multi-action pool phosphate remover made by APi Water. One treatment removes phosphates (algae food), metals including copper and iron, scaling carbonates and organic debris, the contaminants that cloud water and stain pool surfaces, so it does the work of a phosphate remover, a metal remover and a pool clarifier. It needs no pre-balancing or pre-treating, and it is compatible with all pool chemicals, sanitizers and finishes.

What it removes

• Phosphates, orthophosphates up to 2,000 ppb in one start up dose. Algae feed on them, so removing them takes away the food rather than fighting the bloom.
• Copper and iron, up to 2.0 ppm, the metals that stain a finish. City water and well water both bring them in.
• Scaling carbonates, which protects new plaster and a salt system's equipment from scale.
• Organic debris, which it settles to the floor to vacuum out, so the water clears.

Use it for

• New pool start ups, replaster and remodel refills, and top-offs
• Spring openings, including pools whose cover failed over the winter
• Clean ups of cloudy or green pools, after you brush and shock
• Pools filled from a well, and salt water pools, to keep scale off the salt system's equipment

Sizes

Every size is the same Revive! formula. The 32 oz sprayer clips to a garden hose and spreads it over the whole surface; the jug has a screw cap, for pouring a start up dose or measuring smaller ones, and costs less per ounce.

How to use it

• New fill: pour it into the deep end as filling begins, 32 oz per 24,000 gallons. It treats the source water as the level rises.
• Clean up: brush the walls and shock first, and circulate for about an hour. Turn the pump off and spray it over the surface with the hose-end sprayer, 32 oz per 24,000 gallons. Let the debris settle, typically 24 hours, then vacuum the floor to waste, clean the filter and balance the water.
• Weekly: APi doses the same formula at 4 oz per 10,000 gallons a week, and whenever you top the pool off with the garden hose. Measure it from the jug.

Use a double dose for severe algae, a pool that has not been opened for more than a year, a mudslide or storm damage, or a winter cover that failed, and expect a second application. In cold water it works slower: allow several days. If the pool is not clear after 24 hours, spray the surface once or twice with plain hose water to break the surface tension and send the particles down.

With E-Z Pool

APi's E-Z Pool label starts every season with Revive!: treat the water with Revive! to remove phosphates, metals and debris, vacuum once it settles, balance, then begin the weekly E-Z Pool dose.
