Swimming Pool Chemicals

Why pool cleaning chemicals are essential

We have an innate attraction to thriving bodies of water.

Water that is not properly cared for can become a hotspot for harmful bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted guests. This is where pool chemical supplies really shine, working to prevent and treat various water sanitation concerns and ensuring your pool’s ecosystem stays vibrant and healthy.

Pool cleaning chemicals help to:

• Prevent algae growth
• Ensure water clarity, making the pool as attractive and inviting as possible.>
• Maintain pH balance, which is essential for the well-being of swimmers’ eyes, ears and even some pool equipment.
• Encourage pool equipment longevity.
• Maintain correct calcium levels. Ever heard swimmers refer to the water as soft or hard? That’s calcium – getting its level just right makes a big difference in how swimmers enjoy the water.
• Prevent stain and scale formation on the surface and the filtration system.
• Ensures regulatory compliance.

FAQs about pool chemical supplies

What chemicals do I really need for my pool?

The answer depends in part on the size of your pool, the type of water (chlorinated or salt), the climate and how often you swim. Typically speaking, most pool owners will require:

• Chlorine or bromine – to kill and prevent bacteria, viruses and algae.
• pH moderator – so you can adjust the pH balance (aim for it to sit between 7.2 – 7.8)
• Alkalinity increaser – to prevent sudden pH fluctuations.
• Calcium hardness increaser – for pools with water that is too soft.
• Testing kit – OK, so this is not a chemical, but it is essential for you to test and adjust chemical levels.

What chemicals do I need to put in my pool every week?

The frequency will depend on its size, the climate and how often you use it. However, you will need to use several products to keep your pool in top condition. Depending on the type of water in your pool, chemicals include chlorine, bromine, pH moderator, alkalinity increaser, calcium hardener, and/or salt.

How do I safely store my pool chemicals?

You should have a designated area specifically used for chemical storage. It should be cool, dry, protected from direct sunlight, well-ventilated and lockable (childproof locks). Read the labels for each product and store them accordingly. Place containers on shelving, ideally out of reach of children or pets (even though you have a lock, you should do everything to avoid kids or animals accessing these products).

Do not stack items on top of each other and avoid any chemicals coming into contact with one another, as this could result in a chemical reaction. Ideally, you should store a fire hydrant in the same area.
