Uses
and Benefits of SeaKlear®
Natural Clarifier
Clarifies
Cloudy Water
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier got its name because it
was originally used by the U.S. Navy to clear seawater
for underwater photography. Environmentally safe, nontoxic
and biodegradable, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier contains a natural
ingredient, chitosan, which attracts the organic debris that
causes cloudiness in pool, spa and hot tub water. A floc
or mass of organic material is formed and carried to the
filter, where it is more easily removed.
Easy-to-use, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is an excellent
clarifier. Each week, treat your water with SeaKlear Natural
Clarifier specially formulated for pools or spas/hot
tubs to improve water quality and clarity. With
SeaKlear Natural
Clarifier for Spas, use 1 ounce per 500 gallons of water,
and with SeaKlear Natural Clarifier for Pools, use 1 ounce per
5,000 gallons of water.
Removes Excess Oil
Unlike synthetic, petroleum-based clarifiers, SeaKlear
Natural Clarifier actually removes oils from the water.
This unique, patented technology works with any pool,
spa or hot tub system. Oils can be introduced when
sunscreens, lotions and cosmetics are left behind in the
water. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier works to encapsulate the oil
molecules and holds them in suspension so the oil
doesn't stick to pool and spa surfaces or filters. When
filters are cleaned, the oil is removed in the effluent.
The filter stays cleaner and lasts longer.
Removes Stain-Causing Metals
The unique molecular shape and electrical charge of
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier allow it to entrap and aggregate
heavy metal particles, including manganese, copper and
iron, which have come out of solution. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier
does not interfere with metal ions from ionizers and
mineral-based purifiers. In fact, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier
enhances these systems by removing the non-essential,
stain-causing metals. One gallon of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier
formulated for pools removes 1 part per million (ppm)
of stain-causing metal in 20,000 gallons of water. Used
on a regular basis at a rate of 4 ounces per 20,000
gallons, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier will help to keep
metals in check.
Improves Filtration
Because the SeaKlear Natural Clarifier polymer is a "loose net
molecule," it actually forms a subsurface over filters
that helps remove organic debris and hold it above the
filter media. Filters stay cleaner and work more efficiently.
A Natural Compatible Formula
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is compatible with all
sanitizing systems, including ozone, ionization and
biguanide, and either bromine or chlorine systems. The main ingredient
in SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is chitosan, a safe nontoxic fiber
similar to cellulose that grabs suspended particles
and removes them from the water.
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier
is also available in tablets for use in pools and
spas.

Clarifier FAQs
|
Is
SeaKlear Natural
Clarifier compatible with ozone?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is compatible with ozone.
Can SeaKlear Natural Clarifier be used with Baquacil®?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is compatible with biguanide
sanitizers.
Can SeaKlear Natural Clarifier be used with ionizers?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is compatible with all types
of ionizers.
How does SeaKlear Natural Clarifier remove metals?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is able to remove metals at
normal levels and keep them from accumulating. It only
reacts with metals that have combined with organics and
are likely to drop out of solution.
Will SeaKlear Natural Clarifier remove the metals from
ionizers and metal purifiers?
SeaKlear
Natural Clarifier does not interfere with the free metal
ions that come from ionizers.
How long does SeaKlear Natural Clarifier last in the water?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is biodegradable and lasts
five to seven days in the water.
How does SeaKlear Natural Clarifier compare with enzymes?
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier removes oil from the water by
flocculation, changing the structure of the oil to a
nonsticky, micron-sized bead that is taken into the
filter. These beads hang loosely around the filter media
without sticking or absorbing. When the filter media is
cleaned, the oil beads are pulled out in the effluent.
Conversely, enzyme products work by digesting oils. In
many cases, by-product waste from enzyme products can
still be left behind in water. Enzyme products are more
expensive to use and can cause foaming.
Is a scale preventative needed when using
SeaKlear Natural
Clarifier?
In most cases SeaKlear Natural Clarifier works well at
preventing scale. In hard water areas an additional scale
reducer is recommended.
What if SeaKlear Natural Clarifier doesn't clear the water?
Check your filter! The technology of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier
is contingent upon good filtration. Make sure filters
are clean. For sand filters make sure the media is not
dirty, old or worn.
What is the shelf life of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier?
The shelf life of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is five years.
How does SeaKlear Natural Clarifier improve filtration
compared to other clarifiers?
Other clarifiers are synthetic and petroleum based. While
they work well to clear the water, there is a side effect
of combining oil with dirt. Scum formation on the filter
surfaces causes the media to plug faster and elements
to wear out faster. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier creates a
"loose net molecule" over the media of the filter
that picks up dirt and still allows water to flow through
the device. |
