Enhanced Filtration for Clearer, Cleaner Pool Water
Lo-Chlor Filter Aid & Metal Remover is a fast-acting filtration support product formulated to improve the performance of pool filters and assist in removing fine debris and dissolved metals from pool water.
Using natural cellulose fibres, the product coats the filter media with a gel-like layer that helps trap particles that would normally pass through the filter and return to the pool.
It works inside sand, cartridge, and DE filters, making it suitable for a wide range of pool systems where improved clarity and filtration efficiency are needed.
Features & Benefits
- Improves filtration efficiency – enhances the ability of filters to capture fine particles.
- Fast-acting clarifier – helps clear cloudy water more quickly.
- Dual-action performance – assists in removing dead algae, suspended debris, and dissolved metals.
- Natural cellulose fibres – form a filtration layer within the filter media.
- Broad compatibility – suitable for sand, cartridge, and DE filters.
How It Works
The cellulose fibres coat the filter media, creating a fine filtration layer that helps prevent small particles from passing through and returning to the pool.
The fibres are also ionically charged, attracting negatively charged debris and helping keep it captured within the filter until removed during backwashing or cleaning.
Dosage & Coverage
- Dosage depends on filter size and type.
- Read the product label carefully for full dosing instructions before use.
Important Usage & Compatibility Information
- Suitable for use with sand, cartridge, and DE filtration systems.
- Designed to work within the filter rather than settling in the pool.
- Filter pressure may increase as particles are captured; monitor pressure and clean or backwash the filter as required.
- When used alongside Lo-Chlor Metal Solution, it can assist in removing metals such as copper, iron, and manganese from pool water.
Why Choose Lo-Chlor Filtration Support Products?
Lo-Chlor filtration support products are developed to help pool owners get more performance from their existing filtration systems.
By improving particle capture and supporting metal removal, they help maintain clearer water and reduce the load on filters — supporting more consistent pool clarity with minimal intervention.
Frequently Asked Questions
When would I use a filter aid?
A filter aid is useful when pool water stays cloudy even though the filter is running normally, or when very fine particles are not being fully captured by the filter and clarity is slow to improve.
How does this product work?
The natural cellulose fibres work within the filter by spreading a fine coating over the filter media. This helps stop very small particles from passing through and returning to the pool. The fibres are also ionically charged, which helps attract and hold fine debris inside the filter.
Does this product work in the pool water or in the filter?
It works inside the filter. The fibres remain within the filter media, where they help improve particle capture rather than settling in the pool itself.
What types of filters can it be used with?
It is suitable for use with sand, cartridge, and DE filters when used according to the label directions.
Will this remove metals from the water on its own?
This product supports the removal of metals by helping the filter capture fine material. When used alongside Lo-Chlor Metal Solution, it assists the filtration process in removing metals such as copper, iron, and manganese from pool water.
Is it suitable for clearing very cloudy water?
Yes. It is commonly used to help improve clarity in very cloudy pools by enhancing the filter’s ability to trap fine suspended particles.
Will filter pressure change after use?
Filter pressure may increase as debris is captured. A rise of around 3 kPa is commonly seen when using this product, and can be a normal sign the filter is working harder and may need cleaning or backwashing.
Does it leave residue in the pool?
No. When used correctly, the fibres stay within the filter and do not settle on pool surfaces.
