Eco-Friendly Filter Cleaning for All Filter Types
Lo-Chlor Enviro-Clean is a highly effective and versatile filter cleaner formulated to thoroughly clean and rejuvenate all types of filters and filter media.
This eco-friendly, water-soluble formula is fast acting, easy to use, and suitable for sand, glass, zeolite, cartridge, and D.E. filters. It is designed to efficiently remove grime, organic build-up, metals, calcium deposits, oils, body fats, and suntan lotions that may build up on filter media over time.
By breaking these deposits down and making them soluble, Enviro-Clean makes filter cleaning easier through rinsing and backwashing, while also helping prolong the life of both the filter and the filter media and supporting better chemical performance after use.

How It Works
Enviro-Clean works by breaking down oils, body fats, suntan lotions, grime, organic build-up, metals, and calcium deposits that collect on filter media.
By making this build-up soluble, it becomes much easier to remove through rinsing and backwashing, helping restore cleaner filter media and more effective filtration performance.
This makes Enviro-Clean a practical way to both thoroughly clean and rejuvenate filters across a wide range of filter types.
