Professional Solution for Removing Ultra-Fine Silt and Dust from Pools

The Purity Pool Pro-Lite Silt (PLSLT) is a professional-grade pool filtration enhancement product designed to capture ultra-fine silt, dust, and microscopic debris that commonly bypass standard pool filters. When pools appear cloudy or dusty even after vacuuming and filtration, the issue is often fine particulate matter that is simply too small for the filter media to trap on its own.

Pro-Lite Silt works by improving the filter’s ability to grab and hold these tiny particles, allowing them to be removed from the water instead of constantly circulating back into the pool. The result is clearer water, faster cleanup, and reduced frustration during routine maintenance or post-cleanup situations.

This product is pool-specific and intended for use as part of a professional pool maintenance process—not a clarifier or algaecide.

What Pool “Silt” Really Is

Silt is made up of extremely fine particles such as:

• Dust

• Fine dirt

• Sand fines

• Dead algae residue

• Construction or wind-blown debris

These particles are often small enough to pass straight through sand, cartridge, and even DE filters—especially when filters are clean and operating efficiently. That’s why pools can look cloudy or dusty even when chemistry is balanced and equipment is running correctly.

Pro-Lite Silt targets this exact problem.

How Purity Pool Pro-Lite Silt Works

Purity Pool Pro-Lite Silt enhances filtration by helping fine particles bind together and become large enough for the filter to capture. Instead of remaining suspended in the water or passing back into the pool, the silt is trapped in the filter where it can be removed through backwashing or cleaning.

This process allows:

• Faster water clarity restoration

• Reduced need for repeated vacuuming

• Less re-circulation of fine debris

• Improved overall filtration efficiency

Products like this are often used alongside systems in the Pool Filters Collection.

Ideal Uses for Pro-Lite Silt

Purity Pool Pro-Lite Silt is especially effective in situations such as:

• Pools with persistent cloudiness

• Dusty or sandy pool floors after wind or storms

• Fine debris returning through returns

• Post-algae cleanup after shocking

• New plaster or construction debris

• Pools located near fields, dirt roads, or construction zones

It is commonly used by service professionals during cleanup and polishing stages of pool maintenance.

Compatible with All Filter Types

One of the strengths of Pro-Lite Silt is its versatility. It can be used with:

• Sand filters

• Cartridge filters

• DE filters

Regardless of filter type, the product works by enhancing particle capture rather than altering water chemistry.

Proper circulation from equipment in the Pool Pumps Collection ensures the best results.

Not a Clarifier or Flocculant

It’s important to understand what Pro-Lite Silt is not.

• It is not a clarifier that simply clouds particles together temporarily

• It is not a flocculant that drops debris to the pool floor

• It does not gum up filters or cause dangerous pressure spikes when used properly

Instead, Pro-Lite Silt is designed for controlled, professional filtration enhancement.

Why Fine Silt Is Hard to Remove

Standard pool filters are designed to balance flow rate with filtration efficiency. Extremely fine particles often fall below the capture threshold of the filter media, especially when filters are clean.

This leads to symptoms such as:

• Cloudy water that won’t clear

• Dust settling back on the pool floor

• Debris blowing out of returns

• Endless vacuuming cycles

Pro-Lite Silt addresses this gap by allowing filters to catch what they normally miss.

Application & Use Considerations

While application methods vary by pool and filter type, Pro-Lite Silt is generally introduced into the system so it can circulate through the filter and begin trapping fine debris.

Important considerations include:

• Monitoring filter pressure

• Cleaning or backwashing after treatment

• Running the system long enough to capture particles

• Following professional dosage guidelines

It is often used as part of a broader maintenance routine involving equipment from the Pool Equipment Collection.

Professional-Grade Results Without Guesswork

Service professionals rely on Pro-Lite Silt because it provides predictable, repeatable results without over-complicating the process.

Benefits include:

• Faster cleanup times

• Fewer return visits

• Improved customer satisfaction

• Reduced chemical waste

For homeowners, it offers a solution when standard maintenance simply isn’t enough.

When to Use Pro-Lite Silt

This product is best used when:

• Water chemistry is already balanced

• Filtration equipment is operating correctly

• Cloudiness persists despite proper cleaning

• Fine debris keeps returning to the pool

It is not a substitute for proper filtration maintenance, but a powerful enhancement when conditions call for it.
