Primex ehf, Oskarsgata 7, 580 Siglufjordur, Iceland Tel:+354 460 6900 – www.primex.is [email protected] SeaKlear® – Natural Clarifier for Hot Tubs and Pools SeaKlear® is a ChitoClear ® chitosan based natural formula specially produced by Primex ehf to keep your hot tub or swimming pool clean. What does it do? SeaKlear® reduces the formation of chloramines (also known as “combined chlorine”), the chemicals in your water that burn our eyes and annoy our nose. SeaKlear® does wonders for cartridge, sand and D.E. filters. Your filter won‘t gum up with oil. SeaKlear® helps extend filter lifetime. How does it work? The positive charge of the chitosan in SeaKlear® attracts oils, lotions, scum and other impurities in the water and flocculates them. The clumps are collected faster and more easily by the filtering system, leaving the bathwater clear and clean. This makes filter maintenance much easier! By reducing impurities in the water, over 40% less chlorine is required to treat the water and combined chlorine formation is reduced. Benefits of using SeaKlear® Natural water treatment Cloudy water turns clear within minutes Reduces chlorine usage by up to 40% Removes oils, lotions and other impurities Easy on filters and extends their lifetime SeaKlear® is a natural product made in Iceland. CASE STUDY - Use of SeaKlear® in outdoor heated pool over wintertime (2016-2017) in Iceland led to: Considerably less usage of chlorine, resulting in 44% savings Carbon dioxide gas savings by 52% More stable water quality
