Directions for Use

Hydro Balance Corporation HYDROX - Directions For Use
Add HYDROX to the sump and it will reduce head-pressure in a matter of a few hours. Because HYDROX contains no harsh acids, it can be left in the water system for 24 to 48 hours, allowing time for other duties while the system is being cleaned. Add 3 gallons of HYDROX for each 100 gallons of circulating water. The amount of water in the system can be estimated by multiplying the sump length X width X depth in feet and multiplying by 10. Allow system to operate normally for 24 to 48 hours with the bleed line turned off, then drain the entire system.

For systems that cannot be drained after HYDROX treatment, increase the bleed off rate 2 or 3 times normal rate to dilute unused HYDROX.
