EASYCARE 60064 Protec Scale and Stain Inhibitor/Remover, 64 oz. Bottle

I bought this for cleaning the scale from my outside 3 tiered hand carved mexican fountain. It worked as stated. After a while, the scale slowly disappears and maintains prevention of buildup. I did have to sand/scrape/file the heavy buildup that the Protec couldn't remove but understanding that this buildup was over 6 years old. Expensive but it works, just follow the directions and don't over use it would be wasting the product. My fountain runs 24/7 year around (Arizona) and is 22 years old and looks great. I used to spend 20 - 60 hours trying to remove the scale, the longer I put off the job, the bigger the buildup, the longer/harder to remove, this was before I found Protec. If the treated water can reach the scale, it can remove/dissolve it, I may have to scrape/sand the splash area but it still is easier to remove than not having treated water. Oh, by the way, the humingbirds (lots of them) still can drink and bath in the water without ill effects.

Works pretty well, used in my outdoor fountain seem to reduce algae. Not so much with the indoor fountain. Perhaps inside temps. Good price on Amazon.

We have extremely hard water that quickly discolors our three fountains (metal and stone). We tried calcium and lime dissolvers with fair results. Then we tried EasyCare ProTec Scale and Stain Remover and were amazed at the results. It works quickly and keeps stains at bay for months, not days or weeks. I do wish it came in a spray bottle for a more controlled direct application on areas where the build up is more pronounced, but I'll pick up one myself. Looking forward to sitting next to one of our fountains while sipping an iced tea, rather than stressing over lime and scale build-up.

This was recommended to me by the place that we bought our water fountain from. We have had our water fountain for four years and it's just now getting built up and calcium stains. The lady said that what they use to clean it off and keep it clean. Easy to use I know it takes a while for it to clean. But because they use it at there place of business I decided to purchase it. Safe for birds and bees no scent no color looks good. It does tell how to use and how much.

I wish I had taken before and after photos. I used a whole 8oz bottle in a large outdoor fountain that was crusty white everywhere that was splashed by water. Now after a month the white is almost gone in all the areas that are constantly splashed. The areas that receive less splash are still white. I am optimistic that if I clean those areas by hand, EasyCare will keep them clear.

This product does exactly as described, and does it very well. Fountains are a big deal in Newport Coast; we built a couple of large ones, including a rock (river rock) wall, where water flows down at 6K gallons per hour. Prior to using this product, I removed all leaves and debris, drained, and added fresh water, then added some of this product, along with bromine in a floater (bromine has been my choice to prevent algae). After 12 hours of running the pump, the calcium stains began to disappear, and a week later they are about 80% gone -- WITH NO SCRUBBING. Couldn't be happier with the results. Have another fountain with a large mosaic wall and 4 tall ceramic urns -- going to attach that one next -- same way.

I've used this stuff or years - first in an Italian bowl and Italian fountain and it was great and safe for birds. Then we moved and now have used it in our drilled green granite rock bubbler. It does a great job! Keeps it clean and is safe for wildlife. We're on a well so this is necessary to keep the stains down on the huge rock. I used to purchase this from the company direct, but they don't sell it retail anymore. I found it on Amazon and am relieved they can send it to me.

I have a water feature consisting of a decorative rock that has water cascading over it into a pond below. When this was first installed I noticed streaks of white mineral deposits developing on the rock after only a short period of use. These were most unattractive. The water is particularly hard in the area where I reside. I have used ProTec Scale and Stain Remover now for several years. There have been no further mineral deposits on the rock. I therefore highly recommend this product.

Good product .
