Multi-Function Protection for Pool Surfaces, Equipment and Water
Lo-Chlor Long-Life AquaGuard CSM is a versatile multi-function pool treatment formulated to help protect pool surfaces, pool equipment, and pool water quality.
This speciality product works across three key areas of pool care: helping inhibit calcium and magnesium scale, protecting salt chlorinator cells from scale build-up, and holding metal elements such as iron and copper in solution to help reduce staining.
Designed for regular preventative use, AquaGuard CSM can also assist after stain and scale treatments by helping soften existing build-up, support ongoing metal management, and maintain cleaner, more efficient pool equipment over time.

Features & Benefits
- Helps inhibit calcium and magnesium build-up on pool surfaces, equipment, and pipework.
- Acts as a salt chlorinator cell protector by helping keep scale build-up soft and easier to manage.
- Helps hold metals in solution to reduce the likelihood of iron and copper staining.
- Supports cleaner, more efficient equipment by helping reduce scale-related performance loss.
- Suitable for regular preventative use with just one maintenance dose every three months.
- Ideal for pools using bore water where metal management is especially important.
How It Works
Aquaguard CSM works across three core functions: C for calcium and scale, S for salt cell protection, and M for metals.
For calcium and scale, it helps inhibit calcium and magnesium from dropping out of solution, assists in softening existing build-up, and helps limit further deposits on pool walls, equipment, and pipes.
For salt chlorinator protection, it helps reduce scale build-up on chlorinator cells, keeping deposits softer and helping support more efficient chlorine production.
For metals, it acts as a powerful sequestering agent that helps keep elements such as iron and copper in solution, reducing the likelihood of coloured staining on pool walls and floors. In conjunction with a Lo-Chlor stain remover, it can also assist in lifting metal staining from the surface back into the water to be filtered out.

How to Use
- Add 500 mL of Aquaguard CSM per 50,000 litres of pool water.
- Add the product with the pump and filter running so it can distribute evenly through the pool and filtration system.
- For regular maintenance, re-dose once every 3 months.
- To help soften existing build-up, use the same application rate and allow the product to circulate through the system.
Dosage & Coverage
- Pack size: 1 litre.
- Use rate: 500 mL per 50,000 litres of pool water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does C.S.M. stand for?
C.S.M. stands for Cell Protector, Scale Inhibitor, Metal Remover. The product is designed to work across all three areas as a multi-function pool treatment.
What does Aquaguard CSM do in a pool?
It helps inhibit scale build-up, protects salt chlorinator cells from hard deposits, and helps keep metals such as iron and copper in solution to reduce the likelihood of staining.
Can it help with existing scale?
Yes. Aquaguard CSM can assist in softening existing calcium and magnesium build-up while also helping inhibit new deposits from forming.
Can it help with metal staining?
Yes. It helps keep metals such as iron and copper in solution, which helps reduce the likelihood of staining. In conjunction with a Lo-Chlor stain remover, it can also assist in lifting metal staining from the pool surface back into the water to be filtered out.
Is it suitable for salt chlorinator pools?
Yes. Aquaguard CSM acts as a salt chlorinator cell protector by helping inhibit scale build-up on the cell and keeping deposits softer and easier to manage.
