Here’s everything you need to know to become a pool chemical expert:
4-in-1 Test Strips
Using a simple color-match system, the included test strips instantly measure the pH, free chlorine, alkalinity and stabilizer levels in your pool.
Shock X-tra
A high dose of chlorine designed to sanitize and raise the chlorine levels in your pool quickly. It is recommended to use an entire bag of shock when you first start your pool and every few weeks when it needs deep cleaning. It is essential to use both shock and daily chlorine tabs to maintain clean and clear water.
Chlorine Tablets
Chlorine is a germ-fighting chemical that will keep your pool free of bacteria, keeping the pH level of your pool between 7.2-7.8. Chemical dispensers, typically sold separately, are an effortless way to make sure your pool always has an even level of chlorine. Just replace the tablets once they run out!
Cal Jet Algaecide
For optimal pool maintenance, it’s critical to prevent algae growth. Algaecide should be added to your pool (along with your regular chlorine maintenance) every week and after each shock treatment.
Iron Myte Mineral Fighter
Green water may mean algae, or it could be a sign of iron in your pool water, especially if you live in the Midwest or use well-water to fill your pool. This solution will reduce the levels of rust-causing minerals in the water.
Pool Shine Clarifier
This solution attacks the tiniest pieces of debris that your filter can’t catch. The solution enlarges the particles to help the filter pump work more effectively, leaving you with extremely clear water.
