What is SuperKlar?
SuperKlar is an innovative new water treatment chemical that coagulates and flocculates tiny suspended solids that are not stopped by a sand filter.
SuperKlar works in 2 process steps - coagulation and flocculation, in order to create larger solid particles that settle so can be removed by vacuuming and/or the sand filter.
SuperKlar is supplied as a powder that you just mix 10% with water prior to use so you don't have to waste money to pay to ship the water. One 400g pack makes 4 litres of concentrated solution.
The Coagulation Treatment Process
SuperKlar consists of a polynuclear complex of polymerised hydro-aluminium ions which fully dissolve in water to make species of electrically positively charged cations.
These cations neutralise the negatively charged forces that keep the microscopic particles responsible for turbidity and colour in suspension. This allows them to form solid particles, a process called coagulation.
The Flocculation Treatment Process
The long-chain aluminium polymer adds weight and glues these solid particles together to form larger heavy particles that settle onto the floor of the swimming pool or get trapped by the sand filter. This process is called flocculation.
Need a Pool Shock treatment to clean your pool?
Cloudy Pool Treatment
Add SuperKlar clarifier, mix in and leave to settle overnight. Vacuum the settled flocs to waste. Apply a second dose to polish the pool water to a sparkle for the next 7 days.
Green Algae Pool Treatment? - No Problem
Treat with algacide first then add SuperKlar clarifier to remove green colour. Mix in, leave to settle overnight and then vacuum the settled flocs to waste.
Dirty, Stagnant Pool Treatment
Check pH, add SuperKlar clarifier, mix in and allow to settle overnight. Vacuum the flocs to waste. Apply a second dose to provide a 7-day polish for a sparkling clear pool.
Why Do Sand Filters Alone Not Work?
Even the best sand filters are only capable of particle removal down to 0.45 microns and for just 90% of the filtrate. Most pollution from bathers is smaller than this and will easily pass through. This colloidal pollution then builds-up to cause high combined chlorine levels, pool odour and poor clarity.
SuperKlar makes these particles join together into bigger flocs that the filter is able to remove. This is why a maintenance dose is essential to keeping your pool sparkling clear.
Why is SuperKlar Safer & Better Than Aluminium Sulphate?
The PAC based polymers that SuperKlar uses are a relatively new concept but 100% safe and highly effective, which cheap aluminium sulphate is not. They are in fact now used for treating drinking water in most countries and SuperKlar is of the same safe grade.
These polymers have numerous advantages over aluminium sulphate coagulants:
1. High basicity - One molecule can absorb many ions so only a tiny fraction of aluminium is used which avoids its build-up in the pool and the production of toxic halogenic compounds.
2. Long polymer chains - Which form stronger, heavier flocs and more quickly.
3.No sulphide formation - The dissolved sulphates from aluminium suphate remain in solution and can build-up in the pool over time to form sulphides which give bad unpleasant smells.
4. Work over a wider pH range - of 5 to 8 meaning they don't stop working if the pH is not correct.
5. Safe to eyes & to ingest - Aluminium sulphate is harmful to both.
What About Cryptosporidium Oocyst removal?
The British Water Group has stated that effective flocculation filtration is the single most important step in ensuring quick and effective removal of the highly dangerous and resistant cryptosporidium oocysts from a pool.
This raises the removal rates in a properly functioning sand filter from a typical <10% to above 95% in a single pass meaning a 100% removal within 24 hours for a typical 4-times per day pool recirculation rate. SuperKlar fulfills this requirement perfectly.
Can SuperKlar be used for Spas and Hot Tubs?
Absolutely! - And prevent hot tub folliculitis (pseudomonas) due to bacterial build-up. Spas and hot tubs can have a much higher pollution load from skin cells, lotions, cosmetics etc and algae, compared to a swimming pool. The higher temperature (perfect for bacterial growth) and smaller water volume exacerbate the problem.
For prevention and to keep super clean apply a small dose every 3-4 days.

What is SuperKlar?
SuperKlar is a special powerful blend of advanced 100% safe aluminium chloride based polymers (PAC). These quickly and effectively remove all the suspended solids, turbidity and colour from pool or spa water that cannot be removed by a sand filter alone. It is far superior and much safer than cheap aluminium sulphate alternatives.

Great Price and Value
Compare our prices - One packet of SuperKlar makes 4 litres of concentrated liquid solution. Our competitors sell their inferior solutions for £20/litre plus it costs a lot to ship since it is mainly water. We don't sell water - only the powdered active ingredients to treat it!
How to Use SuperKlar
Mix the powder into an approximate 10% solution with warm water and put into a clearly marked plastic bottle - label as acidic since the pH is 4 and is a weak acid (pKa = 4.7) similar to diluted lemon juice or vinegar. Shake the bottle and wait for 10-15 mins to dissolve. Then it is ready for use.
How to do Pool Shock Treatment:
How to Treat Green Pool Colour
Add algicide treatment first before using SuperKlar at the shock treatment dosage. The green is due to algae growing in your pool so it needs to be killed first using an algicide. Leave the algicide to do it's job first for the recommended time before moving to use SuperKlar. The flocs formed by SuperKlar will pull any remaining green colour out with them.
How to do Pool Prevention, Polishing & Maintenance
Add 100ml per 50m3 which will continue to work with the sand filter in normal operation for the next 7 days. Watch the back-pressure on the sand filter as it may well need back-washing.
How to Treat Spas and Hot-Tubs
Use 1-2 tablespoons (20-40 ml) of solution every week for a 1,000 litre tub for maintenance or 4 times this amount for a shock treatment. If the tub is being used more or you notice the water is not so clear then simply add a bit more. If your tub is larger then simply scale up the amount used.
As SuperKlar is completely safe there is no need to worry about adding too much. When diluted in the pool it is perfectly safe to swim and harmless if some pool water is digested with SuperKlar in as it is used for drinking water treatment.
Ensure that you remove and wash the tub filters 1-2 times per week as they will get soiled quicker due to the SuperKlar improving their effectiveness. So one small packet should last you 6 months or more for polishing, depending on use.
Warning:
- Do not mix with other products at same time.
- Rinse cartridge filters regularly whilst using SuperKlar.
- Do not use with diatomite filters.
- Clearly label any bottles of solution.
SuperKlar Solution Safety
The 10% solution is weakly acidic with a pH of 4 similar to lemon juice or vinegar solutions. It will slowly corrode metal so don't keep it in a metal container. It is not dangerous, toxic or flammable but should not be ingested. If spilt then mop-up or wipe-off the skin and wash with water. If swallowed, drink plenty of water.
SuperKlar Powder Safety & Handling
The powder is non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable. However avoid breathing the powder or contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Don't wear contact lenses and use in a well-ventilated place. If spilt, then vacuum, sweep or remove in a dry manner and only use water after this, using soap and water to remove from skin.
