Pool Magic Eclipse Gel Clarifier

Pool Magic Eclipse Gel Clarifier is a concentrated, slow-dissolving gel block designed to improve the filtration efficiency of swimming pools by aggregating microscopic particles into larger masses.

This automated clarifying treatment sits in the pump or weir basket, consistently releasing active polymers that capture fine dust, oils, and metals to ensure high-definition water clarity for four weeks.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Manufactured as a solid gel cube that dissolves gradually over a thirty day period to provide consistent water polishing without manual intervention.
• • Designed to be compatible with all types of pool surfaces including marbelite, fibreglass, and vinyl liners used in South African homes.
• • Effectively increases the efficiency of sand filters by allowing the filter media to trap particles as small as two microns in size.
• • Formulated to work effectively with both traditional chlorine sanitisers and salt-water chlorination systems without affecting water balance or equipment.
• • Non-toxic and biodegradable composition that leaves no residue in the water once the gel block has fully dissolved.

Ideal Use and Instructions

• • Best suited for pool owners who want a low-maintenance, set-and-forget solution for maintaining sparkling water between deep cleans.
• • Before application, ensure the pool filter has been backwashed and rinsed and that the potential hydrogen level is between seven point two and seven point six.
• • Remove the gel block from its packaging and place it directly into the weir basket or the pump pre-filter basket.
• • Leave the pump running for at least eight hours a day to allow for the continuous distribution of the clarifying polymers throughout the pool.
• • Monitor the size of the gel block weekly and replace it once it has completely dissolved to maintain consistent water transparency.

Safety Precautions

• • This product is intended for swimming pool water treatment only and should not be used in drinking water systems or fish ponds.
• • Handle the gel block with dry hands and avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush immediately with clean, lukewarm water.
• • Store any spare units in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or moisture to prevent the gel from softening prematurely.
• • Keep the product and its packaging strictly out of the reach of children and domestic pets to avoid accidental ingestion or choking hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Will this block my filter? No, the gel dissolves into the water and assists the filter in trapping debris rather than clogging the sand bed itself.
• • Can I use this in a spa? This specific size is designed for swimming pools up to fifty thousand litres; using it in a small spa may lead to over-concentration.
• • Does it clear green algae? This is a clarifier for suspended particles; if your pool is green, you must treat the algae first with algaecide and shock chlorine.
• • What happens if I backwash? The active polymers already in the water will be lost during backwashing, but the gel block will continue to release new polymers immediately.

Pro Tip for Local Pool Care

• • During the windy months in South Africa when garden debris and fine dust frequently enter the pool, place the gel block in the pump basket rather than the weir basket.
• • This ensures the clarifying polymers are injected directly into the filter system under pressure, which speeds up the water polishing process and prevents the block from being accidentally removed when you empty leaves from your weir.
