Pennosan’s multi-purpose Natural Pool Clarifier formulations are superior to chemical clarifiers because they contain chitosan, which has multi-functional benefits. Chitosan is naturally attracted to dirt, oils, and soluble metals, as well as algae and other microorganisms. Pennosan’s natural pool clarifier formulations are compatible with all non-metallic sanitising systems, including chlorine and bromine (if in doubt, ask our experts for advice). Used in conjunction with conventional backflush filter systems i.e., those employing sand, glass and other inert filter media, Natural Pool Clarifier will clarify your pool water naturally. By using Pennosan’s Natural Pool Clarifier in combination with your preferred sanitiser, you will find that your sanitiser is able to work more efficiently, and you will use less of it, making pool maintenance easier and pool use safer and more enjoyable.

Pennosan’s multi-purpose Natural Clarifiers can do all this:

  • Clarify – reducing sanitiser demand, enhancing bather comfort.
  • Cleanse – preventing scum lines and staining, saving time and money.
  • Eco-Friendly – safe and endlessly refillable, reducing plastic waste.
  • And much more…

Pennosan® Natural Pool Clarifier formulations are natural and safe to use. Chitosan is completely biodegradable and doesn’t accumulate in your pool water. Chitosan can reduce demand on chemical sanitisers by up to 50%.

Common problems leading to cloudy pool water include:
•    High levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) – can lead to less effective sanitation.
•    Algae – a common cause of green water.
•    Dissolved metals – build-up of copper and iron in solution (this can come from heating systems or from the environment in outdoor pools) will cause discolouration of your swimming pool water, walls and surfaces.
•    Oils and sweat – a common cause of cloudy swimming pool water which consumes the free available chlorine rapidly, increasing demand and generating a chlorine smell and skin irritation.
•    Dirt – enters the pool via bathers and the environment.

Pennosan Natural Pool Clarifier makes pool maintenance simpler, safer and allows the use of less pool chemicals. Gentler on your skin and kinder to the environment.

Multi-functional Natural Pool Clarifier contains a special blend of chitosans that can:

  • Precipitate soluble materials – reducing TDS.
  • Gather up algae – reducing the need for algaecide use.
  • Collect soluble metals – preventing staining of the pool walls and equipment.
  • Agglomerate oils, fats and cosmetics – clearing cloudy swimming pool water.
  • Flocculate dirt particles – allowing removal via the filtration system.

If your swimming pool is well monitored and maintained, i.e., good control of sanitiser levels and pH, multi-purpose Natural Pool Clarifier is the only product you need to deal with all of the above.

Natural Pools


The basic principle of a natural pool is to emulate nature using natural and physical water cleaning processes to keep the natural pool water clean and clear without the use of chemicals.

Common problems of Natural Swimming Pools include:

  • Build up of algae – making water unpleasant to swim in.
  • Dissolved metals – build-up of soluble copper and iron from the environment will cause discolouration of natural pool water.
  • Dirt – enters the pool via bathers and the environment.

Natural pools rely on flow through different types of non-chemical water treatment interventions to cleanse the water before it returns to the pool system. When natural pools are operating below pH 7.5, Pennosan Natural Pool Clarifier can enhance the performance of these systems by removing particulates, algae and TDS. Contact us for more information.
