Pool Enzyme Cleaners

A Pool Enzyme Cleaner is a biological treatment used in pools to break down oils, lotions, and other organic contaminants that can cloud water and strain the filtration system.

How Enzyme Cleaners Work

Enzyme cleaners contain natural proteins that catalyze the breakdown of organic compounds into smaller, more manageable particles, which can then be filtered out or naturally dissipate.

Benefits of Using Enzyme Cleaners

  • Improved Water Clarity: Removes oils and organic debris that can cloud pool water.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Minimizes the load on the filter and reduces the need for frequent cleaning.
  • Eliminates Scum Lines: Breaks down oils that cause buildup at the waterline.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made from biodegradable ingredients that are safe for swimmers and the environment.

When to Use a Pool Enzyme Cleaner

  • After heavy pool use, such as pool parties or busy weekends.
  • When there is a noticeable scum line or oil slick on the water surface.
  • As part of regular pool maintenance to reduce filter strain.

How to Use Natural Enzyme Cleaners

  1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to calculate the correct dosage based on pool size.
  2. Pour the enzyme cleaner evenly around the perimeter of the pool.
  3. Run the pump to circulate the product for even distribution.
  4. Repeat the treatment weekly or as recommended for optimal results.
