Jack's Magic Quart The Magenta Stuff™
Product Overview
A proven choice for protecting salt cells and managing plaster dust during new pool start-ups.
Jack's Magic formulated this 32 fl oz. sequestering agent specifically for high-performance environments like saltwater pools. It reliably handles metal staining and scale buildup without adding any phosphate to the water, which is a critical consideration for modern pool chemistry. In our experience, it is the standard specification for technicians looking to extend the life of salt chlorine generator cells by preventing calcium scale on the plates.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Phosphate-Free Composition
Unlike many sequestering agents, this formula will not yield any phosphate, keeping your water chemistry easier to balance and preventing nutrient spikes.
Salt Cell Protection
Specifically engineered to prevent scale accumulation on salt chlorine generator electrodes, which helps maintain efficient chlorine production and extends cell life.
Plaster Dust Control
For homeowners running a new pool start-up, this product helps keep plaster dust in suspension so it can be filtered out rather than hardening on the finish.
