Introduction to Ferri-Iron Tablets
Ferri-Iron Tablets have earned the reputation as the Ask the Pool Guy approved product for effectively eliminating iron and manganese discoloration from swimming pool water. These specially formulated water treatment tablets are designed to tackle stubborn iron and manganese stains, restoring your pool’s clarity and beauty.
Product Features and Benefits
Ferri-Iron Tabs are a powerful, double-action solution that facilitates the removal of discolored insoluble particles through charge neutralization and flocculation processes. They are completely non-toxic, water-soluble, and free from harsh chemicals such as caustic substances, diatomaceous earth, alum, or any agents that could alter your pool’s pH or chlorine levels. This ensures safe handling and application without compromising water chemistry.
Application Instructions
Preparation: Ensure your pool’s pH is maintained between 7.2 and 7.6. Adjust chlorine levels as necessary to keep a measurable amount present since chlorine does not interfere with the tablets’ effectiveness.
Filter Check: Confirm that your pool’s filtration system is functioning optimally and is operational before treatment.
Dosage Guidelines
- For standard pools (~20,000 gallons): Drop 3 tablets into the skimmer basket or directly into the pool if no skimmer is available.
- Circulate the pool water continuously for 24 hours after application.
- After 24 hours, backwash or clean the filter. If backwash water appears heavily iron-laden or discolored, repeat the treatment process until the backwash runs clear and water quality improves.
For Continuous Water Top-Offs
When adding fresh water to top off your pool, use one Ferri-Iron Tablet per 3,000 gallons or less. Circulate the water for 24 hours and then backwash to prevent recontamination.
Why Choose FerriTabs?
With a legacy dating back to the early days of pool maintenance, FerriTabs have been a trusted choice for decades, especially in areas with hard groundwater rich in iron. They are particularly effective in pools with gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl liner surfaces, which are prone to iron staining. The tablets are versatile, suitable for both in-ground and above-ground pools, and can be added directly to the pool or through the skimmer basket.
Optimal Use and Recommendations
Ferri-Iron Tablets work most efficiently with sand filters, and while they can be used with cartridge filters, it’s advisable to replace the cartridge shortly after treatment due to clogging caused by the removal process. For heavily stained pools, multiple applications over a few days may be necessary. In extreme cases, continuous filtration and repeated dosing can significantly improve water clarity.
Handling and Safety
The formulation of FerriTabs is safe and non-toxic, making handling straightforward. They facilitate the removal of iron particles from the water before they can settle and stain pool surfaces, providing a clear, rust-free, and stain-free swimming experience.
Additional Tips for Stain Removal
If staining has already occurred, consider using a stain-removing product such as Natural Chemistry’s StainFree in conjunction with Ferri-Iron Tablets. After treating the stain, reapply FerriTabs to fully remove residual iron from the water, restoring your pool’s pristine condition. Regular maintenance with FerriTabs ensures ongoing protection against iron staining and discoloration, enabling you to enjoy a beautiful, clear pool all season long.
