Brand: Jack's Magic SKU: JMPURPLE032
Product Overview
Jack's Magic The Purple Stuff is a 32-ounce sequestrant formulated specifically for saltwater swimming pools and pools with high total dissolved solids. Salt, minerals, and dissolved metals can create difficult conditions for conventional metal-control products and can contribute to staining, scale, and salt-cell fouling. The Purple Stuff is designed to remain effective in those environments while helping keep silica and metals in solution.
Regular use can reduce the likelihood of mineral deposits on pool surfaces and scaling on salt chlorine generator cells. It is a preventative metal and scale-control product rather than a sanitizer or standalone stain-removal treatment. Existing stains should be identified and treated with the appropriate Jack's Magic process before relying on weekly sequestrant maintenance.
The initial dosage is 32 ounces per 10,000 gallons. For ongoing maintenance, add approximately 6 to 8 ounces per 10,000 gallons weekly when a Jack's Magic Sequest Test is not being used to determine the residual. Actual demand can change with source water, splash-out, backwashing, rainfall, and water replacement, so follow the current label and adjust from testing where available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can The Purple Stuff be used in a non-salt pool?
It is specifically formulated for salt and high-TDS conditions. A different Jack's Magic sequestrant may be a better match for a conventional pool.
Does it remove an existing stain?
Its primary role is prevention and metal control. Identify an existing stain and use the matching treatment before beginning maintenance.
Will it eliminate the need to clean the salt cell?
No. It helps reduce scaling but does not replace inspection and cleaning required by the generator manufacturer.
Why Buy The Purple Stuff from Big Frog Supply?
This exact SKU is purpose-built for salt and high-TDS pools, preventing customers from substituting a general sequestrant that may not be the best fit for those conditions. Big Frog Supply also offers the Stain ID Kit and other color-coded Jack's Magic formulas so treatment can be matched to the pool system and water problem.
