Zeoclere is a specially selected hi-grade mineral for use in swimming pool filtration.  Its structure was specially selected to ensure pool water quality and clarity.

This is in addition to stripping out high levels of ammonium brought into the pool by swimmers.  It also removes heavy metals found in some water supplies.  Zeoclere increases water clarity in some instances by up 60% compared to sand filtration.  Four grades are available: 0.8-1.24mm (the standard grade), 1-2mm, 2-4mm and 0.5-1mm.

Zeoclere is from a family of over 54 different minerals found around the world.  With over 30 years experience in pool filtration, Zeoclere is the only proven mineral for use in swimming pool pressure vessels. It has a purity of between 80-85% and is constant between these percentages. The material operates well in both small and large pressure vessels. Tests carried out using a 1-metre column with the flow in a constant backwash mode for 180 days x 24 hours, showed a clear-up rate is faster than that of silica sand and glass.

The average ammonia collection for this grade is 2.88g/litre. This may vary dependent on the flow rate. Other advantages of Zeoclere are wide temperature performance along with high removal efficiency including iron/zinc/lead/copper and silver removal. Because of the high reduction of ammonia removal, the use of chlorine is similarly reduced and on average is quoted that up to 40% savings have been achieved. Zeoclere has a far greater (400%) surface area than silica sand or glass media.  Therefore, backwashing (where appropriate) can be dramatically reduced, saving many thousands of litres of heated water and chemicals going to waste.  When used in a commercial pool environment, sewage clean-up costs are also reduced.
