Orenda SC-1000 Scale & Metal Control

SC-1000 works by chelating, or binding to, minerals like calcium and magnesium in your water. By keeping these minerals suspended in the water rather than allowing them to precipitate, it prevents them from hardening into scale on your pool surfaces and equipment.

While SC-1000 is primarily designed as a proactive treatment to prevent new scale, it can help soften and gradually remove existing scale over time when used consistently. However, for heavy, established buildup, you may need a more intensive cleaning process first.

Yes, SC-1000 is compatible with all pool types and surfaces, including plaster, vinyl, fiberglass, and tile. It is non-corrosive and safe for your pool's infrastructure.

Yes, you can swim immediately after adding SC-1000. It is safe for swimmers and does not require a waiting period, though it is always best practice to distribute it evenly around the pool while the pump is running.

For ongoing maintenance, it is typically added as part of your regular chemical routine. The exact frequency depends on your water chemistry and source water quality, but most users find a monthly maintenance dose keeps their pool protected.

SC-1000 is designed to be compatible with standard pool sanitizers like chlorine. It will not negatively impact your sanitizer levels or water balance, making it a seamless addition to your existing water care regimen.
