Pool Maintenance Chemicals
Welcome to Pool Supply Unlimited, where the health and cleanliness of your pool is our priority. Ensuring your pool stays in top shape involves several factors. Among these, managing algae growth, balancing chlorine levels, and maintaining optimal pH values are of utmost importance. Our comprehensive selection of pool maintenance chemicals has you covered in all these areas.
How to Maintain a Pool with Targeted Chemicals
Managing Algae with Pool Chemicals:
Algae can turn your crystal-clear pool into a green swamp if unchecked. These microscopic plants are always present in your pool but can proliferate quickly under the right conditions. To prevent unappealing algae bloom,
pool chemicals, specifically
algaecides, are essential. These chemicals target and eliminate algae, ensuring your pool remains clear and inviting. If your pool becomes green and you need help getting your water back to clear, read our blog post, "

Balancing Chlorine Levels:
Maintaining the right chlorine levels in your pool is a delicate balance. Too much chlorine can lead to skin and eye irritation, making swimming uncomfortable. On the other hand, too little can lead to excessive algae growth and other harmful microorganisms. Our chlorine products make it easy to strike the perfect balance, keeping your pool safe and clean.
Maintaining Optimal pH Levels:
The pH of your pool water indicates how acidic or basic it is. The ideal pH level for pool water is around 7.2. Regular monitoring and adjustment of pH are vital, as water that is too acidic or too basic can cause issues. Depending on your pool's pH, you may need to add alkaline or muriatic acid, both can be found in
pool chemical balancers.
Adding Chemicals to Your Pool Correctly:
The correct addition of pool maintenance chemicals is as important as the chemicals themselves. Whether in liquid or solid form, like chlorine tablets, or even powders that need dilution, it's crucial to follow the instructions closely. Remember to wait a full 24 hours after adding chemicals before testing to ensure they've properly circulated. Testing too soon may lead to inaccurate results, causing over or under-dosing.
Avoid adding too many chemicals at once. It's always easier to add more than to dilute if you've added too much. For instance, if your pool water's pH is too low, adding an alkaline solution gradually is safer and more effective than adding a large amount at once.
