Orenda SC-1000 Scale & Metal Control

Unlike many stain removers that are designed to lift existing stains, SC-1000 is primarily a sequestering agent. It works by keeping minerals like calcium and metals suspended in the water, preventing them from settling on surfaces or crystallizing into scale in the first place.

No, SC-1000 is completely phosphate-free. You can use it without worrying about contributing to phosphate buildup, which is a common food source for algae.

Yes, it is highly recommended for salt water pools. By preventing calcium scale from forming on the salt cell plates, it helps maintain the efficiency of your chlorine generator and extends the life of the cell.

New plaster finishes are highly susceptible to calcium leaching during the curing process. SC-1000 helps manage the water chemistry during this critical hydration phase, protecting the new surface from premature scaling and staining.

While SC-1000 is best used as a preventative measure, it can help manage existing mineral content. However, if you have heavy, established scale, you may need a more aggressive treatment first before using this to maintain the surface.
