- produces pool water so clean it's almost invisible!

Ideal for use in sand-filters with Silex, Zeolite or Glass filter media.

Produces water of incredible clarity and restores the 'sparkle' to swimming pools.

Jolly Gel has a new advanced formula - each 'cube' works for 3 weeks in a pool of up to 60m³ (15,850 US gallons).

It's inexpensive, non-toxic, easy to use and helps maximise chemical efficiency.

Jolly Gels' unique formulation traps even the tiniest particles, clarifying the water to

So . . . .How does it work?

NOTE: - It is only necessary to run the pump for 24 hours the first time Jolly Gel is used. Subsequent applications do not require this unless the pool has been allowed to get cloudy.                                                                             

 

Each 'cube' treats a pool of up to 60m³ (15,850 US Gallons) for 3 weeks.

Removes algae and fungal spores, pollen, bacteria, viruses and, unlike most other pool clarifiers, even strips phosphates.

(Phosphates are algae food; less phosphates = much less chance of algae = less chlorine needed).

 

Reduces chlorine consumption - and makes for a healthier pool for all the family.

• Removes the tiniest particles from the water - and extends the life of the filter media and all other pool equipment.
• How does it extend equipment life? 
• Here´s where we get a little technical but please read on and all will be explained . . .
• Sandfilters are filled with a very special type of filter media - a type of sand called Silex. 
• Most of the worlds sand is more-or-less round because it has been knocked about in water, causing the rough edges to be knocked off.
• Round sand is totally useless in a sand-filter, but Silex is NOT round; it is made up of grains with flat faces and sharp edges.
• Imagine 2 grains of Silex pressed together in your filter - the size of the tiny gap between the grains determines how small a particle can be physically trapped between them.
• When Silex is new it will filter down to around 15 microns (15 millionths of a metre) but after a while all the little gaps between the grains become plugged up with captured particles and the filter must be back-washed.
• During a back-wash the water flow direction through the filter is reversed and the media bed is ´fluidized´: - the sand is now in really turbulent water and the grains bang into each other just like on a surf beach!
• The result is that microscopic particles of Silex are knocked off the grains.

These particles are much too small to be caught in a sand-filter and much too small to sink to the floor of the pool.

They are constantly recirculated around the pool and, as they pass through the sand-filter, they ERODE THE SAND because thay are exactly as hard as the sand they were chipped-off from.

 

After 3 years or so the erosion is so bad that all the sharp edges are worn away, the flat faces become pitted and the sand becomes ´rounded´. The filter is no longer capable of keeping the water clean; so the media must be changed.

This costs anything from $350 upwards, depending on the size of the filter.

 

When Jolly Gel is used the microscopic flaked-off particles of filter media are caught in the glutinous membrane, and flushed to the drains during a normal back-wash.

 

The result is that back-washing can be dramatically reduced to every 4-6 weeks instead of weekly.

Less frequent back-washing extends the life of the filter media - giving it at least DOUBLE the life, and often much longer.

 

The microparticles of flaked-off filter media also erode the coating of ruthenium and iridium (precious metals from the platinum group of metals) on the plates of a salt-water chlorinator cell (replacement costs are $700 to $1000!), the tip of a pH probe (replacement cost $80 to $150), etc., so removing microparticles with Jolly Gel will greatly extend the life of these items also.

 

How will I know if I have these ´invisible´filter-media microparticles in my pool?

Wait until it´s dark and then switch the pool lights on - if you can see a ´fan´of light - you have them!

Now use Jolly Gel for 24 hours and try again - they will be ALL GONE and you will not see a fan of light.

Your pool equipment will be starting out on its extended life, saving much more money than the cost of the Jolly Gel!

 

• How to use Jolly Gel

  Backwash the filter before using Jolly Gel for the first time.

  Ensure the pool water is between pH 7.2 and 7.6 (adjust the pH if it is not within this range).

  Remove the protective plastic bag from the cube before use.
  Note:- It does not matter if the cube has dehydrated and shrunk - it will re-hydrate with no loss of performance.

  • Place the cube in the pump strainer basket not in the skimmer.

    Run the pump for 24 hours.

  • The cube will slowly dissolve as the water pases over it.

    Then backwash the filter and return to your normal filtration times.
  • Jolly Gel places a porous, clear glutinous membrane screen over the filter media, and penetrates the bed to an average depth of approx. 15cm, filling the tiny spaces between the grains of media. The glutinous structure catches the finest particles and also the microscopic Oocysts (eggs) of Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
    During backwashing, as the filter bed lifts, the Jolly Gel membrane is flushed to waste along with the collected dirt, dust, debris and spores.
