This calculator estimates a typical weekly enzyme maintenance dose using a guideline of 4 ounces per 10,000 gallons of pool water.
Pool enzymes help break down body oils, sunscreen, cosmetics, pollen, and other organic contaminants that chlorine alone does not remove efficiently.
Do enzymes replace chlorine?
No. Chlorine is still required to sanitize the pool.
Can I use enzymes in a salt pool?
Yes. They work in both traditional chlorine and saltwater pools.
Will enzymes clear cloudy water?
They may help if the cloudiness is caused by organic contamination, but poor chemistry or filtration should also be corrected.
