Metal-Free Algae Control with Built-In Clarification
Lo-Chlor Metal Free Miraclear Pool Algaecide is a uniquely formulated, heavy-duty algaecide designed to control green algae and support water clarity.
As a world-first metal-free algaecide with an integrated clarifier, Miraclear provides effective algae control without the risk of staining, foaming, or metal-related water issues, making it suitable for a wide range of pool systems and finishes.
Features & Benefits
- Metal-free formulation – eliminates algae without introducing copper or other trace metals.
- Built-in clarifier – helps clear cloudy water while treating algae.
- Highly effective against green algae – widely used for restoring clear, balanced pool water.
- Compatible with sensitive pool systems – suitable for ionised and Nature2 systems.
- Non-foaming and non-staining – safe for use across most residential pool surfaces.
- Australian-made formulation – developed specifically for local pool conditions.
How It Works
Miraclear uses a long-chain polymer-based algaecide (Oxiraine technology) that disrupts algae growth while remaining stable across a wide pH range.
The metal-free formulation avoids staining and does not contribute to elevated combined chlorine levels. The integrated clarifier assists filtration by binding fine particles, helping restore water clarity during treatment.
How to Use
- Backwash or clean the filter prior to treatment.
- Ensure pool water pH is between 7.0 and 7.8 (7.0–7.2 recommended for heavy algae).
- Brush and vacuum pool surfaces before application.
- Dilute the required dose in a bucket of water.
- Broadcast evenly around the pool perimeter.
- Filter continuously for a minimum of 12 hours to ensure proper circulation.
- Brush walls and vacuum again if required.
Dosage & Coverage
- Initial treatment: 150 mL per 10,000 litres.
- Maintenance dose: 80 mL per 10,000 litres every 7 days.
- Heavy algae or winter dose: 300 mL per 10,000 litres.
Important Usage & Compatibility Information
- Compatible with all recognised sanitisers, pool surfaces, and common pool chemicals.
- Suitable for use in ionised pools, Nature2 pools, and spas.
- Ideal for salt chlorinated pools and pools with high combined chlorine levels.
- Non-foaming and non-staining when used as directed.
- Always test phosphate levels after algae treatment and address if required.
This product is an algaecide and must be used alongside a registered pool sanitiser. Ensure sanitiser levels and water balance are restored before swimming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of algae is Miraclear best suited for?
Miraclear is primarily formulated to treat green algae and is widely used to recover green or cloudy pools. It is not intended as a primary treatment for black spot algae.
Is Miraclear safe for ionised pools and Nature2 systems?
Yes. Miraclear is metal-free and contains no copper or silver, making it suitable for ionised pools, Nature2 pools, and spas when used as directed.
Does Miraclear contain copper or quaternary ammonium compounds?
No. Miraclear contains no trace metals and does not use Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, helping reduce the risk of staining, foaming, or elevated combined chlorine levels.
Will Miraclear affect my pool water balance?
No. When used as directed, Miraclear does not significantly affect pH, alkalinity, or calcium balance and is compatible with standard pool chemistry.
How quickly will I see results after dosing?
In many cases, improvements in water clarity are noticeable within 24 hours, depending on algae severity, water balance, and filtration efficiency.
Can Miraclear be used as a regular maintenance algaecide?
Yes. Miraclear may be used as part of a weekly maintenance program to help control algae growth, particularly in pools where metal-based algaecides are not suitable.
Can I use Miraclear in salt chlorinated pools?
Yes. Miraclear is suitable for salt chlorinated pools and is often chosen where combined chlorine levels are elevated or where metal-free treatment is preferred.
Why is phosphate testing recommended after treatment?
Phosphates act as a nutrient source for algae. Testing and managing phosphate levels after treatment helps reduce the likelihood of algae returning and supports ongoing water clarity.
