Introduction
The HTH Super Clarifier is designed to improve the clarity of swimming pool water. This product works by gathering tiny particles that cause dullness, cloudiness, or haziness, making it easier for your pool's filtration system to remove them. It is a concentrated formula that enhances filter efficiency for the effective removal of dead algae and organic debris. This clarifier is suitable for all pool types, including those with various pool surfaces and saltwater systems.

Preparation for Use
Before applying HTH Super Clarifier, ensure your pool's water chemistry is balanced. For optimal results, it is recommended to use this product 4-12 hours after applying HTH Shock! and HTH Algaecide products, if needed. This allows the shock and algaecide to perform their primary functions before the clarifier assists with particle removal.
- Ensure pool pump and filter are operational.
- Check and adjust pH levels if necessary.
- If using shock or algaecide, wait the recommended time before applying clarifier.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective application of HTH Super Clarifier:
- Determine Dosage: Use 2 fluid ounces of HTH Super Clarifier per 10,000 gallons of pool water. For example, a 20,000-gallon pool would require 4 fluid ounces.
- Application Method: Apply the clarifier directly to the pool water or pour it into the skimmer while the pump is running. Distribute the product evenly around the pool for best results.
- Circulation: Allow the pool pump to run for at least 8-12 hours after application to ensure proper circulation and filtration of the clarified particles.
- Observe Results: The clarifier works quickly to gather small particles, which are then removed by the filter. You should observe clearer water within 24-48 hours.

Maintenance and Filter Efficiency
HTH Super Clarifier improves the efficiency of your pool's filter by coagulating microscopic particles into larger ones, making them easier for the filter to capture. Regular use, as needed, can help maintain crystal clear water and reduce the workload on your filter by preventing excessive buildup of fine debris.
- Filter Cleaning: After using the clarifier, it is advisable to backwash or clean your filter as needed, especially if the water was very cloudy, to remove the trapped particles.
- Routine Use: For ongoing water clarity, apply the clarifier as part of your regular pool maintenance routine when water appears dull or hazy.

Troubleshooting
If your pool water does not clear after applying HTH Super Clarifier, consider the following:
- Incorrect Dosage: Ensure the correct amount of clarifier was used for your pool's volume.
- Insufficient Circulation: Verify that the pool pump has run for an adequate duration (at least 8-12 hours) after application.
- Filter Condition: Check if your pool filter is clean and operating efficiently. A dirty or malfunctioning filter may not be able to remove the coagulated particles. Clean or backwash the filter if necessary.
- Underlying Issues: Persistent cloudiness might indicate other water chemistry imbalances (e.g., high pH, high alkalinity, high calcium hardness) or a severe algae problem that requires additional treatment with shock or algaecide before clarifier application.
- Water Source: If using well water, high mineral content can sometimes cause cloudiness that clarifiers alone cannot fully resolve.
