Restore Sparkle the AquaFresh Way
AquaFresh Performance is the oxidation step in the AquaFresh chlorine-free pool system, created to help keep pool water fresh, bright, and inviting between regular sanitising doses. It is part of the AquaFresh approach to ongoing pool care, helping maintain the clear, sparkling finish that makes the system feel so clean and easy to enjoy.
Used alongside AquaFresh Sanitiser, AquaFresh Performance helps break down organic matter from swimmers and the outdoor environment while supporting water clarity and freshness. As part of the complete AquaFresh program, it helps maintain the bright, sparkling water finish that is central to the AquaFresh system.
Why AquaFresh Performance Matters
Oxidises organic contaminants
Helps break down proteins and other organic matter that place a heavy load on the pool system.
Maintains sparkling clear water
Built-in clarifying action helps keep AquaFresh pool water bright, clear, and inviting.
Works with AquaFresh Sanitiser
Used regularly, it potentiates the effect of AquaFresh Sanitiser as part of the complete system.
Chlorine-free oxidation step
Supports water freshness and clarity without moving away from the AquaFresh chlorine-free approach.
Less product required
Sodium percarbonate’s higher active oxygen content means less product is needed to treat the pool.
Easy fortnightly care
Simple dosing every 2 weeks makes it easy to support water clarity as part of the AquaFresh routine.

How It Works
AquaFresh Performance is formulated with sodium percarbonate, which oxidises proteins and other organic contaminants in pool water. These can come from leaves, dust, dirt, and organic residues from swimmers and the surrounding environment, and over time they place a heavy load on the sanitiser.
When dissolved in water, sodium percarbonate converts to sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide, the oxidising component that helps break up this organic matter and maintain a clearer, fresher pool finish. The formula also contains clarifying action for sparkling clear water. Sodium percarbonate has a minimum active oxygen content of 13.5%, compared with 4.5% for monopersulphate compounds and 10% for perborate compounds, which is why less product is required to treat the pool.
How to Use
- Calculate the correct pool volume before dosing.
- Ensure the filtration system is running.
- Add AquaFresh Performance directly to the pool water at the required dose.
- Allow the product to circulate through the pool system.
- Repeat every 2 weeks under normal conditions, or as needed.

Important Usage Information
- AquaFresh Performance does not replace a sanitiser and must be used alongside AquaFresh Sanitiser as part of the AquaFresh system.
- Always dose accurately according to pool volume and do not exceed the recommended dose rate.
