HTH Ultra Clear Algaecide 2L

The HTH Ultra Clear Algaecide 2L is a specialised, non-metal-based liquid treatment designed to eliminate and prevent all types of algae growth in swimming pools. Its dual-action formula serves as both a high-potency sanitiser and a water polisher. It coagulates suspended organic matter, allowing the filtration system to effectively remove microscopic debris and restore brilliant water transparency.

Ideal Use and Performance

• • Advanced Clarification: Contains built-in clarifying agents that provide a "sparkle" effect by binding fine dust and pollen into larger, filterable clusters.
• • Non-Staining Formula: Unlike copper-based alternatives, this algaecide is safe for all pool finishes, including white marblelite, vinyl liners, and fibreglass shells.
• • Monthly Cycle: Specifically concentrated for use as a once-monthly maintenance dose to prevent green, black, and yellow algae blooms before they start.
• • Broad Spectrum: Effective across various water temperatures and compatible with all types of chlorine-based and salt-water pool sanitising systems.

Safety Precautions

• • Perimeter Application: Pour the liquid directly into the pool water around the edges while the pump is running to ensure immediate and uniform distribution.
• • Chemical Compatibility: Do not mix HTH Ultra Clear with other chemicals in a concentrated state; always add to the pool water separately to avoid hazardous reactions.
• • Handling Safety: Wear protective gloves and eyewear to prevent skin and eye irritation; if contact occurs, rinse the affected area immediately with clean water.
• • Child Safety: Ensure the child-resistant cap is securely fastened and store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Does it replace chlorine? No, it is a supplementary treatment that works alongside chlorine to prevent algae; it does not replace the need for a primary sanitiser.
• • How long must I wait to swim? It is safe to enter the water approximately 15 minutes after application, provided the pool pump has circulated the product.
• • Will it fix a very green pool? While it kills algae, a heavily infested "swampy" pool may require a shock treatment and a flocculant in addition to this algaecide.
• • Is it safe for salt-water systems? Yes, it is highly recommended for salt pools as it provides an extra layer of protection when chlorine production levels fluctuate.

Clever Hack for pools

• • If your pool looks "dull" but the chemistry is correct, add half a dose of HTH Ultra Clear after backwashing your sand filter. The clarifying molecules will coat the sand bed, acting as a "filter aid" to trap the fine dust that usually passes straight through standard filters.
