Pre- and Probiotic Eco- Friendly Pool Water Cleaner, 5l

Probiotic Pool Cleaner — Crystal-Clear Water Without Chlorine

Sanitify Probiotic Pool Water Cleaner is the first complete probiotic treatment for swimming pools, hot tubs, and water features. Instead of relying on chlorine and harsh oxidising chemicals, it harnesses the natural power of beneficial Bacillus bacteria to break down organic matter, suppress algae growth, and maintain genuinely clean, clear water — without the skin irritation, eye discomfort, or toxic fumes of conventional pool chemicals.

Why Chlorine Has a Problem That Probiotics Solve

Chlorine works by killing — everything. It sanitises pool water effectively in the short term but creates several well-documented problems over time. Chloramines (formed when chlorine reacts with sweat, urine, and sunscreen) cause the characteristic “pool smell”, red eyes, and respiratory irritation. Chlorine degrades pool liners, seals, and equipment over time. High concentrations are harmful to aquatic life if pool water is discharged to gardens or drains. And critically, chlorine does nothing to address the biofilm that forms on pool walls, filters, and pipework — the root cause of recurring algae and bacteria problems.

Probiotic pool treatment addresses the biological source of pool contamination rather than just its surface symptoms.

How Probiotic Pool Cleaning Works

Sanitify’s Bacillus probiotic strains are naturally occurring, non-pathogenic bacteria selected for their ability to thrive in aquatic environments. When added to pool water, they:

Digest organic matter. Sweat, skin cells, sunscreen, and other organic compounds are the primary food source for algae and harmful bacteria. Our probiotics consume this organic load enzymatically — removing the fuel source before algae can establish.

Break down biofilm. Biofilm — the sticky matrix of microorganisms that coats pool walls, tile grout, filters, and pipework — is the hidden reservoir from which most pool contamination originates. Bacillus enzymes penetrate and digest biofilm continuously, keeping surfaces genuinely clean rather than just chemically sterilised.

Outcompete harmful species. Through competitive exclusion, our beneficial probiotic population occupies the ecological space that harmful bacteria and algae would otherwise fill. A stable probiotic population makes it structurally difficult for pathogens to gain a foothold.

Maintain water clarity. By continuously processing the organic particles that cause cloudiness and provide nutrients for algae, probiotic treatment keeps water optically clear — without the need for chemical flocculants or clarifiers.

What Makes This Different from Conventional Pool Products

Conventional pool maintenance uses a stack of products: chlorine for disinfection, pH adjusters, algaecides, clarifiers, scale inhibitors, and shock treatments. Each chemical has side effects that require other chemicals to manage. Probiotic pool treatment simplifies this dramatically.

Sanitify Probiotic Pool Cleaner can significantly reduce — and in some systems eliminate — chlorine dependency. In combination with UV or ozone sanitation systems, probiotic treatment can replace chlorine entirely. For pools where some chlorine is preferred (especially high-use commercial pools or those with regulatory requirements), probiotic treatment works synergistically to reduce the required chlorine dose by 40–70%, extending chemical intervals and lowering operating costs.

Ideal Applications

Sanitify Probiotic Pool Cleaner is suitable for all pool types and sizes:

Residential swimming pools and hot tubs. Families with young children, people with sensitive skin, or those who simply want to reduce their chemical footprint will notice the difference immediately — softer water, no eye irritation, no chlorine smell on skin and hair after swimming.

Hotel and resort pools. Guest experience is directly affected by pool water quality. Probiotic-treated pools have noticeably softer, cleaner-feeling water and no chemical odour — a genuine differentiator for 4 and 5-star properties. Also reduces the maintenance burden and chemical costs for facilities teams.

Spa and wellness centre pools. Therapeutic pools, flotation tanks, and hydrotherapy pools particularly benefit from probiotic treatment. The absence of chloramines means the air above the water is genuinely fresh — essential for wellness environments where guests spend extended periods.

Natural swimming ponds and ornamental water features. Fully compatible with planted natural pools and ecological water systems. Probiotics support rather than disrupt the biological balance of natural aquatic environments.

Animal and livestock water systems. Our probiotic water treatment is safe for animal drinking water systems, maintaining water quality in troughs, tanks, and reservoirs without chemical contamination.

How to Use

The 5L concentrated format treats large pool volumes economically. Typical dosing: 100–200ml per 10,000 litres of pool water, added weekly during normal operation. Initial treatment of a new or chemically-heavy pool may require a higher dose for the first 2–3 weeks to allow the probiotic population to establish and begin processing accumulated organic matter and biofilm.

Always add directly to pool water, preferably near the return jet for even distribution. Compatible with standard pool filtration systems (sand, cartridge, and DE filters). Compatible with salt chlorination systems — probiotics enhance the performance of salt chlorinators by reducing the organic load they need to process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this completely replace chlorine?
In residential pools and hot tubs, many users find they can phase out chlorine entirely after the initial transition period (4–6 weeks). In commercial pools with high bather loads or regulatory requirements, probiotics work alongside a reduced chlorine dose. The target is typically a 50–70% reduction in chemical usage.

Is it safe to swim immediately after adding the product?
Yes. Sanitify probiotic strains are non-pathogenic (GRAS-listed) and safe to swim in immediately after application. There is no re-entry interval.

How long does one 5L bottle last?
At standard dosing of 150ml per 10,000 litres per week, one 5L bottle treats a 30,000-litre pool for approximately 11 weeks. For a typical residential 50m³ pool, one bottle lasts roughly 6–7 months during the swimming season.

Will it affect pool pH?
No. Sanitify Probiotic Pool Cleaner is pH neutral and will not affect your pool’s pH balance.

Does it work with salt water pools?
Yes — fully compatible with salt chlorination systems. Probiotic treatment complements electrolytic chlorination by reducing the organic load, allowing the salt cell to produce chlorine more efficiently at lower settings.
