Pool Clarifiers

What Are Pool Clarifiers?

Pool clarifiers are essential water care solutions designed to clear cloudy pool water by gathering tiny particles so your filter can remove them more effectively. They are ideal for regular pool maintenance or after treating algae, helping your pool regain its sparkling clarity.

How Pool Clarifiers Work

Clarifiers work by binding small, suspended particles—such as dirt, pollen, oils, and other debris—into larger clumps. These larger particles become easier for your pool’s filtration system to trap and eliminate, restoring clear water with less effort.

When to Use a Clarifier

You should consider using a pool clarifier:

• After heavy pool use or a strong storm that introduces dirt and debris

• Following algae treatment or pool shock to clear out leftover particles

• During your routine weekly maintenance to prevent haziness

• Any time your pool water looks dull or hazy, indicating particle buildup
