Product Information
Full details
The Plastica Relax Gel Cubes are designed for residential pool owners looking for a convenient, low-effort solution to restore water clarity. These cubes are ideal for those struggling with cloudy water caused by fine particles that bypass standard filtration systems, providing a simple one-step method to aggregate waste for easy removal. While highly effective at clearing turbidity, it is important to note that these cubes are a clarifier and not a substitute for regular chemical balancing or physical debris cleaning.

FAQs
Can I use these cubes in a salt-water pool?
Yes, Plastica Relax Gel Cubes are fully compatible with salt-water chlorination systems.
How many cubes should I use for a 25,000-gallon pool?
Since one cube treats up to 12,500 gallons, you should use two cubes for a 25,000-gallon pool.
Will these cubes affect my pH levels?
No, the gel formula is pH neutral and will not impact your existing chemical balance.
Can I swim immediately after adding the cube?
Yes, the product is safe for swimmers once it is placed in the skimmer, as it dissolves slowly into the plumbing system.
Do I need to turn the pump off when adding the cube?
It is not required to turn the pump off, but ensure the water is circulating through the skimmer so the cube dissolves correctly.
What happens if I accidentally use too many cubes?
Using more than the recommended dosage may cause the filter to clog too quickly. If this happens, simply clean the filter and reduce the dosage next time.
Troubleshooting
Water clarity is not improving after 48 hours
Check your pool's pH and alkalinity levels, as extreme imbalances can prevent the clarifier from binding particles effectively.
Filter pressure is rising rapidly
This is normal, as the cubes are successfully trapping fine particles. Backwash or clean your filter to restore proper flow.
The gel cube is not dissolving
Ensure there is sufficient water flow through the skimmer basket. If the pump is off, the cube will not dissolve.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves water clarity within 24 hours
- Easy to apply with no measuring required
- Reduces the workload on pool filtration systems
- Each pack lasts for an entire month of use
Cons
- Not a replacement for proper chlorine or pH balance
- Does not remove large debris or organic matter
- Requires an active pump system to function correctly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Plastica Relax Gel Cubes, simply remove the plastic wrapper and place a single cube directly into your pool skimmer basket. Ensure that your pump is running to allow the gel to dissolve into the water stream properly.
Compatibility is broad, as these cubes are safe for use with standard sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters. For maintenance, monitor your filter pressure gauge after application; because the cubes increase the amount of debris your filter is catching, you may need to backwash or clean your filter element slightly more frequently than usual. Keep the product stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
