Zodiac Natural Pool Clarifier 1L | Chitosan Organic Formula
Cloudy pool water ruining your swim? Zodiac Natural Clarifier uses Chitosan, a natural organic ingredient derived from shellfish, to rapidly clear cloudy water, remove oils and scum from pool walls, and boost your filter's efficiency. Crystal clear results without harsh synthetic chemicals.
Unlike traditional synthetic clarifiers, Chitosan works by binding to tiny suspended particles that your filter can't catch on its own, clumping them together so your filter can remove them effectively. Safe for all pool types, swimmers, and the environment.

How It Works
- Step 1. Chitosan molecules bind to suspended particles, oils, and organic matter in the water.
- Step 2. Particles clump together (flocculation) into larger masses your filter can capture.
- Step 3. Filter removes the clumped particles, leaving water sparkling clear.
- Result. Crystal clear water within 24-48 hours of treatment.

Dosing Guide
Maintenance dose (ongoing clarity):
- Add 30ml per 10,000L weekly or fortnightly
- Apply with pump running for even distribution
- Best added in the evening for overnight filtration
Cloudy water treatment:
- Add 60ml per 10,000L for active cloudiness
- Run filter continuously for 24-48 hours after dosing
- Backwash or clean filter after treatment to remove captured particles
- Retest water clarity after 48 hours and repeat if needed
Tip: Always ensure pH is in the correct range (7.2-7.6) before adding clarifier. Incorrect pH reduces effectiveness. Run your filter for at least 8 hours per day during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Chitosan different from regular pool clarifier?
A: Most pool clarifiers use synthetic polyacrylamide polymers. Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from shellfish shells. It's biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and just as effective at clearing cloudy water.
Q: How long does it take to clear cloudy water?
A: Most pools see significant improvement within 24 hours and crystal clear results within 48 hours, provided the filter is running continuously and pH is correct.
Q: Why is my pool still cloudy after using clarifier?
A: The most common causes are incorrect pH (outside 7.2-7.6), a dirty or undersized filter, or insufficient filtration time. Check pH first, clean your filter, and ensure it's running at least 8 hours per day.
Q: Is this safe for saltwater pools?
A: Yes - Zodiac Natural Clarifier is safe for all pool types including saltwater, chlorine, and mineral pools.
Q: Can I use this in a spa pool?
A: This product is formulated for swimming pools. For spa pools, the smaller volume and higher temperatures require a spa-specific clarifier.
Q: How often should I use clarifier?
A: For ongoing maintenance, dose fortnightly at 30ml per 10,000L. For active cloudiness, use the higher dose and repeat after 48 hours if needed.
