3. Preparation and Application
Before applying Eclipse3, ensure your pool, spa, or hot tub water is properly balanced. Test your water's pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Ensure the filtration system is running and water circulation is adequate.

- Maintenance Dosage: For ongoing prevention of algae growth and water clarity, use 1.25 ounces of Eclipse3 per 10,000 gallons of water.
- Apply the product directly to the pool water, distributing it evenly around the perimeter.
- Allow the filtration system to run for at least 8-12 hours after application to ensure proper distribution.
4. Maintenance and Benefits
Regular use of Eclipse3 as part of your pool maintenance routine provides several benefits:
- Algae Elimination: Effectively prevents and eliminates algae growth, keeping your water clear.
- Reduced Chlorine Use: By controlling algae, Eclipse3 can significantly reduce your reliance on chlorine, potentially saving up to 60% on chemical costs.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pool water despite using Eclipse3, consider the following:
- Persistent Algae: Ensure you are using the correct initial dosage if algae is present. Verify water circulation and filtration are optimal. Check for proper water balance (pH, alkalinity).
- Cloudy Water: While Eclipse3 clarifies water, other factors like poor filtration, high total dissolved solids, or imbalanced water chemistry can cause cloudiness. Ensure your filter is clean and running efficiently.
