Jolly gel Info

Transform your Swimming Pool with Jolly gel!

Jolly gel is really, truly amazing!

Jolly gel clarifies pool water to camera-ready standard!

Congratulations on buying and trying Jolly gel – You will be so glad  that you did! One pack contains 4 cubes of gel, lasting 3 whole months in a 60m³ pool.

Note: 

Jolly gel is formulated for filters filled with Silex (sand), glass media or Zeolite.

It is not suitable for paper filter cartridges, nor for DE filters.

Homologation number 12-70-4627.

It’s not the same as regular flocculent!

For a start, it does not contain Aluminium Sulphate, and therefore leaves no harmful residues in the water.

Jolly gel works in a totally different way to other clarifiers.

It stays in the filter and does not escape into the pool water. It binds lightly to the filter media (sand, glass or zeolite) and forms a glutinous, porous membrane over and between the grains.

The membrane captures particles on contact and holds them until the next back-wash. 

This membrane, and everything that it has caught, is flushed away during a regular back-wash.

Jolly gel cleans the water so perfectly that it becomes almost invisible!

And it saves more money than it costs . . .

How does it save money?

1 – By reducing back-washing. Jolly Gel gets the water so clean there is nothing left for the filter to catch, and back-washing can be reduced to every 3 – 6 weeks instead of weekly, producing a big saving in water bills. Costly chemicals and heat are also lost during back-washing. When the pool is topped up from mains supply the pool temperature drops – so the pool heater has to run for longer to compensate.

Approx. annual saving of  40m³ of water in an average 50m³ private pool.

That’s a lot of money to throw down the drains

2 – By reducing Phosphates (algae food) in the water. With less food in the water algae cannot grow as quickly, so less sanitiser is needed to prevent it and chemical bills are reduced.

3 – By extending, or even DOUBLING, equipment life!

Here’s where we get a little technical but read on and all will be explained . . . with no jargon.

Jolly gel works differently to other pool clarifiers.

Unlike other clarifiers it is not dosed into the pool – it goes in the pump strainer basket 

(NOT IN THE SKIMMER).

Circulating water dissolves the gel, which then fills the spaces between the grains of filter media to increase filter efficiency, removes the tiniest suspended particles and DOUBLES the life of the media.

Jolly gel stays in the filter

. . . working its’ magic, and does not get out into the pool-water.

Sand-filters are typically filled with a very special type of sand called Silex, which has flat faces and sharp angles.

Now imagine the grains of Silex, pressed tightly together in your filter. 

It’s the size of the tiny gaps between the grains that determines how small a particle can be physically trapped there.

New Silex will filter to around 15 microns (15 millionths of a metre). When the little gaps between the grains become plugged up with trapped particles, filter pressure increases and the amount of water being returned to the pool at the Jets is reduced. At this point the filter must be back-washed.

Back-washing destroys the filter media

During a back-wash the water flow is reversed through the filter and the filter bed is ‘fluidised’: – the media is then in really turbulent water and the grains smash into each other, just like on a beach.

All this violent turbulence causes microscopic particles to be chipped off of each grain of media. 

These micro-particles are much too small to be caught in any sand-filter (without Jolly gel) – they’re even 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 they are exactly the same hardness  as the material they were chipped-off from.

After 3 years or so . . .

. . . the erosion becomes 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 able of keep the water clean; therefore the media must be changed. 

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

When Jolly gel is used the abrasive particles of filter media are caught in the glutinous membrane on contact, and flushed to the drains during a normal back-wash.

Jolly gel works in a totally different way to other clarifiers.

It forms a glutinous, porous membrane over and between the grains of filter media.

The membrane catches particles on contact and holds them ‘prisoner’ until the next back-wash. This membrane, and everything that it has caught, is flushed away during a regular back-wash.

Do you have a salt pool?

You will benefit greatly by using Jolly Gel.

The abrasive micro-particles of filter-media also erode the coating of 

Ruthenium, Tantalum and Iridium on the plates of a salt-water chlorinator cell rendering them less and less effective. Replacement plates cost €700 and upwards, plus fitting  

Similarly, the platinum tip of a pH probe will quickly erode to nothing.

A new pH probe is €80 to €150 plus fitting.

Removing micro-particles of filter media with Jolly gel will greatly extend the life of these items and much other pool equipment.

You’ll be astonished at just how effective Jolly gel is!

How to use Jolly gel.

Remove the plastic bag and place the first cube of Jolly Gel in the pump strainer basket.

📷

Note:- It does not matter if the cube has dehydrated and shrunk – it will re-hydrate with no loss of performance.

Run the filter for 24 hours, continuously if possible.

Backwash and rinse the filter, then return to your normal filtration timings.

That’s it – you’re done!

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.           

Apply a new cube every 3 weeks for a permanently transparent pool.

How can I find out if I have ‘invisible’ micro-particles in my pool?

Wait until it’s dark and then turn the pool lights on – if you can see a ‘fan’ of light – you have them. (And they’re costing you money!)

Now use Jolly gel for 24 hours and try again – you will not see a fan of light because all the particles will be GONE, locked away in the Jolly Gel membrane inside the filter! 

They’ll stay there until you next back-wash.

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

Protect Jolly gel from frost and do not freeze it.

If your pool is often cloudy it is probable that the filter media needs to be changed – but Jolly gel will give your sand-filter an extra year or two of life!

Important Note

When using Jolly gel for the first time be aware that the filter pressure will rise faster than normal and it may need to be back-washed sooner than normal. 

The reason for this is that Jolly gel collects suspended particles much faster than any other pool clarifier.

When the water has been thoroughly cleaned and polished  by Jolly gel, the normal filtration routine can be resumed.

Less frequent back-washing dramatically reduces wear-and-tear on the filter media – giving it at least DOUBLE the life, and often much longer.
