Learn how to take great care of your pool without breaking the bank.
Shock
Pool shock is a concentrated sanitizer treatment used to break down contaminants like
dirt,
debris, and oils. This over-treatment eliminates bacteria and neutralizes contaminants
that
can cloud water or promote algae growth. Shock is available in chlorine and non-chlorine
formulations.
Clarifiers
Pool clarifiers are treatments that clump tiny particles in pool water, making them
large
enough to be filtered out. This process clears cloudy water and restores its clarity.
Regular use of clarifiers, along with proper maintenance, ensures a clean and healthy
pool.
Algaecides
Algaecides prevent algae growth, acting as a backup when sanitization methods fail due
to
various factors. They provide ongoing protection against algae until the sanitizer
system is
functioning correctly. Using algaecides is like an insurance policy for your pool.
Stain Removers
Stain removers target specific types of pool stains, such as organic discoloration or
calcium scale. Choosing the right product is crucial for effective stain removal. Some
discoloration may be natural mottling of the plaster and not removable.
Closing Chemicals
Properly closing a pool with specific chemicals simplifies spring opening and prevents
problems like green water. This process protects against damage from freezing
temperatures
and saves on future repair costs. Winterizing your pool is an important step.
Startup Chemicals
Startup chemicals prepare newly filled or reopened pools for safe swimming by
establishing
proper water chemistry. This process involves sanitizing and balancing the water. These
chemicals are essential for a healthy pool environment.
Balancers
Pool balancers are chemicals that maintain proper water chemistry for a clean and safe
swimming environment. These chemicals are essential for preventing issues caused by
unbalanced water. Regular use of balancers is crucial for pool health.
Sanitizers
Sanitizers are vital for maintaining a clean and healthy pool by killing bacteria,
neutralizing algae, and eliminating chloramines. These chemicals keep the water safe for
swimmers and prevent unpleasant odors. They are the primary defense against
contaminants.
