CLEARGARD™
WHAT is CLEARGARD™? Fox Pool is proud to offer ClearGard™– the most effective non-corrosive coating for our Boxwall panels and steel steps in the industry. ClearGard™ is a hot-dip coated steel sheet that has a layer of Zinc, 6% Aluminum, and 2% Magnesium. The effects of magnesium and aluminum together allow our ClearGard™ coated steps to have excellent corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and formability.
HOW does it work? Al and Mg in the coating layer of ClearGard™ combine to form a fine, tightly adhered zinc-based protective film on its surface as time passes. This protective film suppresses corrosion of the ClearGard™coating.
WHY is it important? ClearGard™ offers superior protection against corrosion on Salt Generator Pools, up to 5x's more effective than standard galvanization. It also offers increased protection when servicing areas with a high water table or acidic ground conditions. Customization of steps is still achievable, as the steel can be bent and formed without the coating cracking on the edges. Fox Pool ClearGard™-coated steel is covered by a lifetime, 1-time transferable warranty.

Fox Pool steel steps and Boxwall Panels utilize Cleargard™ non-corrosive coating.
Mechanism of corrosion resistance on cut edge. Corrosion resistance is achieved on cut-edge parts by covering the ends with a zinc-based protective film that contains Al and Mg from the coating layer.
Superior to other like products. Cleargard's unique chemical composition of Zn, Al and Mg combines to form a firm coating layer. This unique coating develops thin film byproducts unlike that of competitors, that are remarkably corrosion resistant—even over cut edges.
Eco-friendly. Cleargard's corrosion resistance will allow customers to significantly reduce coating thickness which benefits the environment. Specifically, reducing coating thickness effectively decreases the amount of minerals mined from the earth, reduces harmful runoff dispersed into the soil, and reduces coating residue at steel recycling plants.
Protection on cut edges. When the Cleargard coating layer corrodes in the rain, Zn and Mg flow over the cut edge. These elements form a fine zinc-based protective film that helps ensure a long product life even against harsh elements.
