Rijo - Foam Down defoamer - 5L

Struggling with foam in your swimming pool, spa, hot tub, or other water circuit? Rijo Foam Down is a liquid defoamer that helps to quickly reduce unwanted foam. The product is suitable for situations where foam is caused by, for example, soap residues, cosmetics, body oils, contamination, or residues of other water treatment products.

The generous 5-liter packaging is particularly suitable for regular use, larger water installations, and professional applications.

Reduces unwanted foam formation

Foam on the water surface usually occurs when organic contamination and surfactants are whipped up by air and water movement. This is especially common in spas and hot tubs, as massage jets and air blowers are constantly adding air to the water.

Foam can also occur in swimming pools, fountains, and other circulating water systems. Rijo Foam Down helps to quickly break down existing foam, making the water surface look calmer and better maintained again.

Quick and easy application

Rijo Foam Down is liquid and therefore easy to add. Distribute a small amount evenly over the foaming part of the water surface while the circulation is switched on. The product then disperses through the water and reduces the foam layer present.

Always start with a small amount. Only add more if the foam has not disappeared after sufficient circulation time. Overdosing is not necessary and can put unnecessary stress on water quality.

For the exact dosage, always follow the instructions on the label or the provided product sheet.

Suitable for various applications

Rijo Foam Down can be used, depending on the instructions on the product label, for:

• Swimming pools

• Spas and jacuzzis

• Hot tubs

• Whirlpools

• Fountains

• Ponds and decorative water features

• Industrial and technical water circuits

• Other water installations where unwanted foam occurs

Before use, always check whether the product is suitable for the specific installation, materials used, and water treatment products present.

Foam is often a sign of contamination

A defoamer removes the visible foam but does not always eliminate the underlying cause. When foam regularly returns, it is important to also check the water quality and the installation.

Common causes of foam formation include:

• Soap and detergent residues in swimwear

• Shampoo, shower gel, and hair care products

• Sunscreen and cosmetics

• Skin fats and body oils

• A dirty or saturated filter

• A high concentration of dissolved substances

• Old water

• An incorrect pH level

• Too low calcium hardness

• Residues of cleaning or water treatment agents

• An incorrect combination or overdose of chemicals

In case of recurring foam, it is advisable to clean the filter, measure the water values, and, if necessary, replace part of the water.

Instructions for use

1. First, check the pH level and general water quality.

2. Clean or check the filter if it may be contaminated.

3. Shake or mix the packaging according to the instructions on the label.

4. Let the circulation pump run.

5. Add a small amount of Foam Down directly to the foaming water.

6. Distribute the product as evenly as possible over the surface.

7. Let the water circulate sufficiently.

8. Check the result and only add a small additional amount if necessary.

Do not add the product simultaneously and undiluted with other chemicals. Always allow sufficient time between different treatments and follow the instructions for use of the respective products.

Regular maintenance remains important

Rijo Foam Down is intended as a practical solution for existing foam. For long-term clear and comfortable water, proper maintenance remains necessary.

Pay attention to:

A correct pH level
Sufficient disinfection
Regular cleaning of the filter
Timely replacement or replenishment of filter material
Removing organic contamination
Regular water changes for spas and hot tubs
Showering before use
Swimwear without detergent residues
Correct dosage of all water treatment agents

Safe use and storage

Before use, always read the entire label and the safety data sheet. Wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection if specified on the label.

Store the packaging:

• Upright and tightly closed

• In the original packaging

• Cool, dry, and frost-free

• Away from direct sunlight

• In a well-ventilated area

• Out of reach of children and pets

• Separated from food and other chemicals

Never mix Rijo Foam Down directly with chlorine, acid, lye, or other concentrated pool chemicals. Use separate measuring cups and dosing tools for different products.

Important

Rijo Foam Down is a tool against visible foam. If the foam returns quickly, check the filter, pH, disinfection value, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and general water quality. In spas, a partial or complete water change may ultimately be more effective than repeated use of a defoamer.
