Product Description
Orenda SC-1000 Scale & Metal Control (1 Quart): Concentrated Pool Sequestrant
Prevent scale buildup and metal staining in your pool with the professional-grade Orenda SC-1000 Scale & Metal Control (1 Quart, or 32 fl oz). This highly concentrated, non-acidic chelating agent is formulated using advanced sustainable chemistry to sequester metals like iron, copper, and manganese, as well as dissolved calcium and other minerals. Unlike harsh acids, SC-1000 encapsulates these contaminants, preventing them from oxidizing and staining surfaces or forming hard scale on vital equipment like heaters and salt cells. Use it for routine maintenance, stain removal, or as a crucial step in the Orenda startup process to maintain crystal clear water and protect your investment.
Key Features
- Powerful Chelating Agent: Uses advanced chemistry to bind tightly to metals and minerals (iron, copper, calcium, etc.), preventing them from dropping out of solution and staining surfaces or forming scale.
- Highly Concentrated Formula: One quart treats up to 20,000 gallons for initial treatment, making it highly economical and effective.
- Non-Acidic & Sustainable: A pH-neutral formula that is safer to handle than traditional acid-based products and promotes better water balance.
- Prevents Stains & Scale: Ideal for preventing calcium scaling, rust-colored stains, black staining, and buildup on critical pool equipment like heaters and salt chlorine generators.
- Versatile Use: Effective in all pool types (plaster, vinyl, fiberglass) and compatible with all sanitizing systems (chlorine, bromine, salt, ozone, etc.).
- Part of the Orenda Method: A foundational product for maintaining perfectly balanced and proactive pool chemistry, especially during pool startups.
- Easy Application: Simply add the required dose to the pool water with the circulation pump running.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Irritant: Causes eye and skin irritation. Wear protective eyewear and gloves during handling.
- Handling: Wash hands thoroughly after use. Harmful if swallowed.
- Chlorine Depletion: Initial "purge" dose will rapidly consume chlorine. Test and re-adjust chlorine levels as needed after application.
- Storage: Keep container closed, dry, and out of reach of children.
- Disclaimer: This product helps manage LSI but does not replace the need for proper water balance. Effectiveness decreases below 65°F.
Application & Pro-Tips
- New Pool Startups: Best added while the pool is filling to protect new surfaces immediately.
- Application Method: Simply pour directly into the skimmer or gutter while the pump is running.
- Existing Scale: Can help dissolve existing scale on equipment (heaters, salt cells), but requires time to work.
- Well Water: Use a heavier purge dose (1.5x) for water known to have high metal content.
- Cold Water Note: Performance significantly reduces in cold water; store the product in a warm area for best results.
