A pristine pool is the centrepiece of any backyard oasis. To keep your pool sparkling clean and inviting, it’s crucial to maintain proper water chemistry. At Apple Pools in Box Hill, we offer a wide range of high-quality pool chemicals to ensure your pool stays in optimal condition.

Why Pool Chemicals Matter

Pool chemicals play a vital role in maintaining the health and hygiene of your pool water. They help to:

  • Kill bacteria and algae: Prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms that can cause illness.
  • Balance pH levels: Ensure the water is neither too acidic nor too alkaline.
  • Control chlorine levels: Maintain the proper level of chlorine to sanitise the water.
  • Prevent scaling and staining: Protect your pool’s surfaces from damage.
  • Clear cloudy water: Restore the clarity and sparkle of your pool water.

Essential Pool Chemicals

  • Chlorine: Chlorine is the primary disinfectant used to kill bacteria and algae. It comes in various forms, including chlorine tablets, liquid chlorine, and granular chlorine.
  • Algaecide: Algaecide helps to prevent and eliminate algae growth, keeping your pool water crystal clear.
  • pH Adjusters: pH adjusters help maintain the correct pH level of your pool water, ensuring optimal chemical balance.

How to Use Pool Chemicals Safely and Effectively

  1. Test Your Water: Regularly test your pool water to determine the levels of chlorine, pH, and alkalinity.
  2. Add Chemicals in the Right Order: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding chemicals to your pool.
  3. Use the Correct Dosage: Use the recommended dosage of chemicals to avoid over-chlorination or chemical imbalances.
  4. Circulate the Water: Run your pool pump for an adequate amount of time to circulate the chemicals throughout the water.
  5. Store Chemicals Safely: Store chemicals in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.
