On the market, the preparation is available in tablets. We do not recommend throwing them directly into the tank. This will result in discolouration of the walls or bottom of the tank. The tablets should be inserted into a special dispenser in the form of a buoy or skimmer. Tablets are usually available in two weights 20g and 200g. This is to facilitate dosing in small tanks. Exact instructions can be found on the packaging. However, depending on the manufacturer, 200g of active oxygen in a tablet should be used for 10-30 m3 of water. Dose every 7-10 days or, in the case of some manufacturers, until the tablet dissolves.
Granulate is the form that also needs to be poured into a dosing buoy or skimmer. Active oxygen in this form dissolves much faster. It is dosed in a similar quantity to the tablet formulation. Detailed dosing information can always be found on the packaging. It is customary to attach a measuring cup to the granules so that the user can measure the precise weight of the preparation.
Active liquid oxygen is designed for automatic dispensing stations. The devices will dispense the set amount of oxygen themselves. Depending on the manufacturer, this value will vary. For the first use, it varies between 1-3 litres for every 10m3 of water, and later between 0.5-1.5 litres/10m3 once a week. Detailed information can always be found on the packaging.
When you decide to disinfect with active oxygen, it is worth using it together with an activator. This is a special agent that supports and enhances the action of oxygen disinfection. It is composed of cationic polymers that support the oxidative action of oxygen and have bactericidal, algicidal and fungicidal effects. It is added with the preparations in the amount according to the instructions on the packaging.
