Barbicide Plus

Your ratio is very strong.

But on to the question:
4- My Barbicide® Plus is cloudy; have I done something wrong?

If you have mixed your Barbicide® Plus concentrate correctly (see question #1), and it has been changed daily, the cloudiness is normal. This cloudy appearance is normal for Barbicide® Plus in certain types of water.

Also I looked into the certification pages on their website. From its appearance it is a suggested change time based on legal ramifications. Each state has a different cert program.
