It's a direct substitute for ordinary pool filter sand\/glass and it saves you money \u003c\/strong\u003eby scavenging unwanted ammonia from pool water and thereby reducing your swimming pool chlorine consumption. It is a true 21st-century filter medium with both ion exchange and superior micro-filtration properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eUnlike ordinary filter sand, the surface of Clinobrite grains is not smooth. Clinobrite grains attract and trap extremely fine dirt particles and algae onto their surface and not just between the grains like ordinary sand. In practice, a Clinobrite pool filter can remove 40 - 50% more physical dirt than an outdated sand or glass filter. It can also filter out much smaller particle sizes than sand or glass. This greatly improves the clarity of your pool and gives much longer service cycles between backwash operations. Clinobrite is even able to trap the tiny cysts of diarrhea-causing\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e cryptosporidium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e which are becoming a health problem in municipal waters worldwide!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAlso, unlike sand or glass filters, Clinobrite acts as a filter on the atomic scale by absorbing ammonium ions (NH\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003csup\u003e+\u003c\/sup\u003e) from pool water and this consequently eliminates algae. This is due to a powerful negative charge that exists within the Clinobrite structure that attracts positively charged cation contaminants such as ammonia and holds them within the Clinobrite structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiscerning pool owners and industrial filter operators choose Clinobrite!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eClinobrite is available in a 25 kg bag. The average-sized pool filter tank will use 2 x 25-liter bags of Clinobrite. Clinobrite can be safely used in saltwater swimming pool filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e8 Reasons Why Your Swimming Pool NEEDS Clinobrite!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt saves you money. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinobrite saves you money by reducing the harmful chlorine consumption of your swimming pool. It does this by scavenging chlorine consuming ammonia and ammonia compounds from the water\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eThese unwanted chemicals rapidly use up pool chlorine by reacting with it to produce undesirable, odor-causing chloramines\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e Ammonia enters pool water from bathers sweat and urine. Thunderstorm activity also produces undesirable nitrates that end up in your pool water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt dramatically improves pool water clarity. \u003cbr\u003eUnlike ordinary filter sand, the surface of Clinobrite grains is not smooth. Clinobrite grains attract and trap extremely fine dirt particles and algae directly onto their surfaces and not just between the grains like ordinary sand. You should notice a great improvement in the water clarity of your pool after just a few hours of changing your sand to Clinobrite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo more green pool water \u003cbr\u003eAmmonia is one of the main food sources for algae. Clinobrite removes this food source (ammonia) by a process called ion-exchange. Clinobrite scavenges and holds onto the ammonium ions within its crystalline structure.\u003cstrong\u003e In short, no more ammonia means no more algae!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo more burning eyes. \u003cbr\u003eAmmonia and nitrates in pool water react very rapidly with pool chlorine to form highly undesirable Chloramines (monochloramine and dichloramine) which cause red and burning eyes. \u003cstrong\u003eClinobrite is able to effectively remove Chloramines from the pool water, which means no more burning eyes!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo more unpleasant pool smell. \u003cbr\u003eThe unpleasant \"chlorine smell\" on your skin after bathing in chlorinated water is not caused by chlorine at all.

This mineral is used in industry as a pollution cleanup material and has even been used to clean up nuclear disasters.\u003c\/strong\u003e By using Clinobrite, there is a significantly reduced need to use toxic and harmful pool chemicals to do the same job. Also, when it is time to replace the Clinobrite in your pool filter, simply spread your old ammonia-loaded Clinobrite onto your lawn and watch your grass grow! Used Clinobrite acts as the perfect slow-release fertilizer for your lawn and flower beds!

It absorbs ammonia from your pool water on a 24-hour basis. Consequently, over time, the Clinobrite will become saturated with ammonia, and needs to be regenerated. Simply turn off your pump, unscrew the filter top, drain out all the water and add a 10% solution of brine (salt and water) on top of your Clinobrite filter medium. The Clinobrite media should be fully submerged in the salt solution. Leave this overnight to remove all the absorbed ammonia from the Clinobrite structure. In the morning, backwash your filter for 5 minutes to wash away the ammonia and rinse for a further 2 minutes. Before switching to the filter cycle, do a backwash water clarity check.A complete change of your Clinobrite filter medium at least once per year is recommended for\u003cstrong\u003e pools with high bathing loads.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is because oils and sunscreen lotion build-up can clog the filter medium. These oils do not wash off with simple backwashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt saves water \u003cbr\u003eClinobrite is lighter in weight than ordinary sand or glass.
