Pool Magic Plus / HTH Sparkle IT / HTH Clear Blu – Pool Water Clarifier & Pool Polish

Product Overview

Pool Magic Plus, HTH Sparkle IT, and HTH Clear Blu are a range of branded pool water clarifiers, conditioners, and polishers designed to enhance pool water clarity, sparkle, and overall appearance. These products work by flocculating fine suspended particles, improving filtration efficiency, and reducing chlorine consumption.

HTH Sparkle IT is a water conditioner that clears cloudy water, improves filtration efficiency, and adds extra sparkle to pool water. It is available in convenient dissolvable cubes and liquid 1-litre formats.

HTH Clear Blu is a slow-release clarifier that works by binding and trapping microscopic particles and algae spores that could turn your pool green and cloudy. It is a slow-dissolve gel clarifier that gradually releases a flocculant to help trap debris and small particles in the pool filter. It adds sparkle to pool water, lasts longer than a week (depending on pool conditions), and enhances chlorine performance.

Pool Magic Plus (often associated with Natural Chemistry’s enzyme-based products) provides dual-action pool treatment that helps improve water clarity while also reducing phosphates—one of the key nutrients that can feed algae growth.

These products are designed for residential pools, hotel pools, and commercial pools seeking premium water presentation and ongoing water quality maintenance.

How It Works

These pool water clarifiers and conditioners operate through polymer-based or enzyme-based mechanisms to improve water clarity and filtration efficiency.

Polymer Clarifiers (HTH Sparkle IT, HTH Clear Blu) – Mechanism:

• Charge neutralisation – Positively charged polymer molecules bind to negatively charged fine suspended particles
• Flocculation – Particles aggregate into larger masses that can be trapped by the filter media
• Filtration enhancement – Aggregated particles are more readily captured by the filter, improving overall filtration efficiency
• Slow-release action – HTH Clear Blu gradually releases flocculant over time, providing continuous clarification

Enzyme-Based Clarifiers (Pool Magic Plus) – Mechanism:

• Organic breakdown – Natural enzymes break down non-living organics in the water
• Phosphate reduction – Reduces phosphates that feed algae growth
• Filtration aid – Improves water clarity by aiding filtration

HTH Sparkle IT is specifically formulated to work overnight, clearing cloudy water and restoring crystal-clear brilliance.

Why It Matters

• Water appearance is the first thing swimmers notice. Dull, hazy, or cloudy water creates a negative impression and can deter guests from swimming. These products deliver the crystal-clear, sparkling water that pool owners and guests expect.
• Filtration efficiency is improved when fine particles are coagulated into larger masses. This reduces the burden on the filter, extends filter media life, and reduces backwashing frequency.
• Chlorine consumption is reduced when organic contaminants and fine particles are removed from the water. HTH Clear Blu specifically reduces chlorine consumption while adding sparkle to pool water.
• Guest satisfaction is enhanced when water is crystal clear. Hotels, resorts, and commercial facilities benefit from the premium water appearance that these products deliver.
• Ease of use is a key advantage. Dissolvable cubes and liquid formulations simplify the clarification process, requiring no complex dosing or pre-mixing.
