Whether it’s sanitizers, oxidizers, algaecides, water balancers, or bulk specialty chemicals, you can easily maintain your swimming pool by keeping your pool sparkling clean and beautifully balanced.
Make your swimming pool and spa inviting and healthy at all times by balancing your pool with the right pool chemicals all season long.
The Key to A Clean Pool: Chemistry
The best way to keep your pool clean is to monitor and maintain its chemistry. Doing this will protect pool surfaces, plumbing, and equipment from corrosive conditions. Maintaining pool chemistry also helps prevent staining from iron, prevent scale formation from excessive calcium, improve chlorine efficiency, and prevent algae buildup, health problems, equipment breakdowns, and cloudy water. Yes, you need the proper pool chemicals for overall maintenance.
When you open your pool for the season, it’s important to test your pool water. First, be sure that your test kit and reagents did not expire! Measure its alkalinity, pH, hardness, chlorine or bromine, total dissolved solids, and stabilizer levels.
Tip for Taking a Proper Water Sample
To take a proper water sample, use a clean cup or bottle (with cap if you’re taking it to us) and hold it upside down so that the opening is facing the floor. Insert into the water elbow-deep and turn it right side up to collect the sample. Do not take the sample near any return jets or skimmer opening.
