Cloudy to Clear!

This stuff is amazing. I've used HTH in the past and it's good. But I think the Clorox works a little faster and a little better. If your pool is dirty like mine was this Spring, or very cloudy, be prepared to have to use the whole bottle - or more. I had to use 3.5 bottles/qts on my 23,000 gallon IG pool this Spring. It was very cloudy and dirty. The more I vacuumed the bottom, the worse the water looked. But it was well worth the ~ $35 I spent on this stuff! I keep it on hand for the next time the pool starts to look cloudy. HINT: Within 12 hours of using this product, you should backwash your sand filter or rinse your cart filter. It will get dirty as this clarifier works.

DOES THE JOB...AND FAST! POOL IS SPARKLING IN 12 HOURS!

I just opened our pool for the year and after shocking the pool with Chlorine to kill the algae and balancing the pH, it remained cloudy. I needed a solution to clear up the cloudy water and the Clorox Super Water Clarifier was a GREAT choice. BEFORE adding the Clarifier, I thoroughly cleaned my Hayward cartridge filter AND i did a thorough brushing of the walls and bottom surface of the pool. After adding only 4 ozs of the Clorox Super Clarifier and letting the filter run for 12 hours, my pool is sparkling clear. I will be using my vacuum to give it one more cleaning and will give the filter another cleaning, as well. My future schedule will be to add 3 ozs of the Clarifier every couple of weeks as maintenance. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the results. A side note: great job by Amazon to seal the bottle in a plastic bag to protect it from leaks during shipping. The bottle has a cap seal, as well, so I did not have any issues. Like most Amazon shoppers, I count on honest, unbiased reviews. I hope you have found this review helpful in making your purchase decision.

This stuff has my 37, 000 gallon pool sparkling ...

This stuff has my 37,000 gallon pool sparkling!!!

Cleared up after two doses - only takes a small amount. Have plenty to use once a week.

Only 16 oz to clear a 40,500 gallon pool! I had extremely cloudy water in a 10ft deep(20x40) pool and could not even see five feet down in the water. After shocking the pool with liquid chlorine twice and it didn't do anything, I double shocked the pool with a powder form of chlorine from a pool company. Then I put in 8 oz of this water clarifier in the deep end and ran the pool pump for 12 hours. I waited almost 36 hours(as the bottle suggested) and I put in another 8 oz of this water clarifier and the pool water came clean. It was absolutely amazing how the water cleared up. I highly recommend this product.

Super easy and SUPER EFFECTIVE

POOL ALGAE FAINTED! In all seriousness, this stuff is great! After weeks of toiling at the pool, unable to get rid of the cloudiness and the teal, greenish color, I discovered this clarifier. One strong dose, a couple days of waiting, and the pool is the clearest it's been since we opened it. Still a short ways to go, but this stuff is seriously magical. Turns out our sand filter just wasn't equipped to catch the microscopic algae and junk floating around. Living in a sunny environment surrounded by tall trees just compounded the algae growth -- which is what made the water so cloudy. No matter how much bleach, chlorine, acid, and what else I put in, this clarifier is what finally did the trick. Dirt cheap, and requires zero trips to the pool store. Note, all the algae and gunk clumps up and sinks to the pool floor. I recommend getting an external vacuum of some sort (not a pool filter vacuum) so you aren't kicking it through the filter and back into the pool. My 40,000 gallon pool took 3/4 bottle for the initial dose (had to triple dose it), and I have a second bottle so I can touch it up weekly.

Unbelievably awesome

Don't bother reading any more reviews if you have cloudy water buy this stuff right now. I've been fighting with this pool for years and within 12 hours it's crystal-clear now. My problem is the small particles can't be filtered out by my pool pump because it's 20-years-old. This stuff is like putting a Mack truck size pump on the pool and just cleared it in one night. This particular time I've been waiting for weeks for the cloudiness to go down and I've been trying not to vacuum or sweep it too much because it stirs it up again and it's cloudy and I wanted to be able to use the pool this year and I've been so frustrated. The stuff is like magic. It's like God came down and touched the pool and when I woke up the next day was perfect. I scrubbed all the walls and the floor the night before and my whole pool was trashed and you couldn't see the bottom at all and the next morning it was like liquid glass crystal perfect. I don't know whether to get mad at myself for waiting this long to figure it out or to pat myself on the back for finally getting it right or thank God. Take my advice go-ahead and get the stuff I only used 4 ounces in my 20k gallon pool and it is awesome now. All the little particles didn't even have time to hit the bottom of the pool before the filter got rid of them. I expected to at least come out the next morning and see some pretty clear water with all the algae on the bottom or something but like I say it was just like magic I can't say enough about it so just buy it I love it it's awesome!!

Does The Job.

I treated my pool with winterizer last Fall. When I opened my pool last weekend, the water was cloudy. I shocked the pool and ran the filter overnight with little improvement. I then used the recommended dosage of this product and the water cleared up overnight. However, it left little tiny clumps of debris on the surface that I easily skimmed off and sediments that were just as easily removed by the skimmer. The only downside is that it creates tiny clumps of sediments that settles to the bottom daily. Luckily, I have a round pool and the filter return is pointed to the side so as to create a whirlpool and the clumps of debris settled in the middle of the pool for easy removal. Based on my observations, this product acts more as a flocculant than a water clarifier. Doesn't matter to me because it surely cleared up the water.

Great Results and Low Cost

Our 15,000 gallon pool became very cloudy; we couldn't see the shallow end steps at just 3 feet of depth. Our first attempt was to shock-level-maintain high chlorine for 5 days, which had no effect -- water was still very dense. I've read conflicting opinions on the use of clarifiers, but thought I'd try it anyway since the only alternative at this point was to fully drain the pool. I was skeptical how the prescribed 3 oz could fix 15K gallons of water. In fact, the first application did not produce any discernible effect. I waited 36 hours per instructions for a second application and that did the trick. Within about 24-48 hours of the second application the water was about as clear as ever. I closely monitored filter pressure and detected no change, so there's no indication the process was clogging the filter cartridges, as can occur with stronger flocculents. Great results at a very low cost. Tips: Make sure to follow the detailed instructions regarding chlorine level and pH and spacing applications. Run the pump as prescribed and be patient -- the results are not immediate. Also, don't exceed the prescribed dosage, as that can actually increase cloudiness.

It works and works well!

This stuff works. I no longer use a pool service because the Clorox pool products work so well and their app eliminates the need to pay someone else to troubleshoot for you. I highly recommend all of the Clorox pool line.

This product by Clorox is at least as good as any of them and significantly cheaper at this ...

I used to be in the pool business for a couple of decades, so I have more than just a passing understanding of pool water chemistry and various pool products. I've used this product on a number of occasions and I've also used several other products including the one made by Robarb, HTH, and Kem tech, as well as others. This product by Clorox is at least as good as any of them and significantly cheaper at this point. Clarifier does one thing and does it well. It takes extremely small particles that flow right through a filter (especially sand filters) and clumps them together to make them big enough to be caught. So if you've had an algae bloom but killed it and now have a white or cloudy pool, chances are that it won't clear up on its own unless you have a diatomaceous earth or cartridge filter. The other effect that pulling these particles together has is that it makes them heavier so they sink down to the bottom and will either pass through the drain on their way to the filter or just lay on the bottom of the pool. None of these products give great practical directions though. I think they are all trying to sound like they are so concentrated that you don't have to use much. By and large, the directions are merely meant to take a less than sparkling pool and turn it into a sparkling pool. Beyond that, you have to use much more. If you just want a little more sparkle, follow the directions as they are. If you however have a hazy pool, put 3-4 ounces through the skimmer, keep the pump running, and you'll see a change in 24 hours. If you've had a moderate algae bloom, you must first kill off the algae before you can do anything much with this product. The algae will continue to grow at a rate faster than this product can help you. Shock the pool with granular chlorine and use your pool brush to loosen up algae from the sides and bottom. It won't die nearly as well if it's stuck on the floors and walls. When the pool becomes white, this is the time to use clarifier to remove the dead algae. Raise the water level to the top of the pool skimmer, as you will be losing water at the end of this process. First, adjust the pH again and make sure you have all your balances correct. Use one quart of this clarifier per 20,000 gallons, poured directly into the clean skimmer basket. Let it run for about 2 hours to circulate the material throughout the pool, and then turn the pump off to quiet the water. Don't touch the water, brush the pool , or try to vacuum. It will only stir things up if you do. Let it set for 24 hours, no less. Nobody should swim or otherwise disturb the water. After 24 hours, the water itself should be pretty clear, but you will have a fine layer of sediment on the bottom of the pool. Carefully set up your vacuum so as to not scrub the bottom. Turn the pump on, but change the multi-port valve to the "waste" setting. This will take water up through the vac and out the backwash hose. This is why you added more water to begin with. Vac the pool as quickly as you can without disturbing the debris on the bottom. Once done, return the valve to the normal "filter" setting and resume normal operation. Add 3-5 ounces more clarifier to the skimmer and let run overnight to help remove any final traces of the dead algae. Make sure your chlorine level is properly adjusted and again, recheck all chemical balances.
