FAQs About Pool Chemicals
What is the role of chlorine in pool maintenance?
How often should I test my pool water?
For a consistently healthy pool, we recommend testing your water at least once a week, and then once every few days during peak swimming season. You should also test after heavy rainfall or after having a lot of swimmers, as these events can impact your water’s balance.
Can I use the same chemicals for my hot tub and my pool?
It’s not recommended. Hot tubs contain less water and operate at much higher temperatures, which requires specialized products. We carry a full line of SpaGuard chemicals specifically formulated to keep your spa water safe and balanced without damaging its sensitive components.
What are the signs of over-chlorination?
Using too much chlorine can cause a very strong chemical smell and lead to skin, eye, or lung irritation. If you suspect over-chlorination, test your water to confirm the levels. You can also always consult our team on the best way to bring them back down.
What is the best way to add chemicals to my pool?
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the product label. A general rule of thumb is to add chemicals directly to the pool water. You can distribute them evenly by pre-dissolving them in a bucket of pool water or walking them around the edge of the pool.
