Frequently asked questions

What is Aqua Magic ALL CLEAR?
This is an eco friendly formula that produces safe crystal clear sparkling and algae free water .

How can it be eco friendly?
It is made up of minerals, natural oxides, salts and citric acid. There are no harsh chemicals.

What does it actually do?
1. Kills and controls a wide range of swimming pool green and black algae forms.
2. “Magnetised” ions in the water flocculate fine particles that cause cloudy water.
3. Phosphates – essential algae foods – are reduced progressively.
4. Oils – a major cause of sand filter problems – are removed using natural mineral oxides.
5. Saves money by reducing the need for all other chemicals commonly used.
6. Reduces common water problems by progressively improving pool water quality.

What real eco benefits will I get?
1. Can be added to pool while children swim.
2. Safe for pets, birds and bees to drink the pool water.
3. You can backwash the water into your garden – see precaution regarding pH on the pack.
4. You contribute to a safer greener earth by reducing the use of harsh chemicals.
5. The pool water becomes gentle on your eyes and skin as it improves in quality.

How do I change over from chlorine to Aqua Magic All Clear?
Easy , just pour it into the weir and it will do all the rest. It can be added day or night because Aqua Magic is not affected by sunlight, temperature or salt.

Can I use it in a salt pool?
Yes. Very commonly salt water pools start showing signs of algae or cloudy water. Simply switch the chlorinator off, add the Aqua Magic and the next day you can switch the chlorinator back on.

How do I change back to chlorine if I want to?
Just stop using Aqua Magic and use chlorine as you did before.

My pool turns green after rain and thunder storms, will Aqua Magic help?
Yes. Aqua Magic makes your pool immune to these weather related problems.

My child was sitting on the floor with” Aqua Magic All Clear” all over him, what do I do now!?
If it is in his mouth just wash it out with water. If it got into his eyes, wash it out with water and continue to do so gently for 10 minutes or until you get him to a doctor to check if all ok. On his clothes and skin, give him a bath.

I have a swim school with 100 kids per day, how do I treat my pool THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY?
Start using Aqua Magic immediately. With so many kids the water is under massive strain from body oils, pee, etc. So..... each evening add chlorine to the water so that by early morning the chlorine reading will be approximately 1ppm. If you have chlorinators installed you probably need to run the pumps 24hrs per day with the chlorinators adjusted to keep the chlorine level close to 1ppm. During the day the chlorine will drop rapidly and that is where the Aqua Magic saves the day..... the Aqua Magic keeps the water in good condition for the kids.

I heard that chlorine gas floats above pool water and is terrible for kids lungs, tell me more.
When two chlorine atoms combine in water they form a gas molecule (Cl- and Cl- forms Cl2 {chlorine gas}) This chlorine gas is heavier than air and tends to hover just above pool water. If the wind or a breeze blows then this gas is blown away. The higher the level of chlorine in the pool, the more gas is produced. This is why many professional swimmers avoid chlorinated pools, it affects their throat and lungs because of time spent in the water. Children’s lungs are tender and still developing so this gas is very bad for them.

How does Aqua Magic help with the chlorine gas problem?
With Aqua Magic you use at least 75% less chlorine. With less chlorine in the water, the free or residual chlorine is extremely low and there is hardly any chlorine gas that can form.

I am building a new pool, should I use salt or Aqua magic?
A salt water pool needs a couple of hundred kilograms of salt in it and an expensive chlorinator that simply produces ordinary chlorine from salt. In total it is a large outlay exceeding R5000. With Aqua Magic you have cleaner water that is safe for everyone including pets, birds and bees. You also contribute to a greener better world. Your outlay is R59.99 and for R5000 you can supply Aqua Magic for a large pool for 7 years and 14 years in a small pool. This far outlasts the life of a chlorinator.

How does Aqua Magic actually save me money?
Add up what you spend on pool chemicals each month. Include the acid, stabilisers, flocculants and things you must buy when the pool water gets problematic. Lets say you use 4kg of chlorine per month as well as a floater. How much does that cost? R119 + R89? By using Aqua Magic you reduce your original cost to a quarter, then add the cost of the Aqua magic. Keep in mind that you only use half a pack of Aqua Magic every 4 to 6 weeks in smaller pools.

I have tried so many new products and they mostly give me more problems, why try Aqua Magic???
Aqua Magic has stood the test of time. It was first produced in November 1994. The final formulation change was made in November 1996 (under another name) and now in January 2010 the best, genuine eco friendly problem solver you can use.

I just want a straight answer.. Does it work?
Yes. We have “thank you” letters from happy customers since 1995.
