How to Choose Pool Chemicals

Not sure which chemicals your pool needs? This guide will help you understand the essentials and make the right choices for your pool or spa.

Start with a Water Test

Always test your water before adding any chemicals. Key parameters to check include pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and sanitizer levels.

Essential Chemicals

• Chlorine: The primary sanitizer that keeps your water free of bacteria and algae.
• pH Increaser/Decreaser: Keeps your pH in the ideal range of 7.2–7.6.
• Alkalinity Increaser: Stabilizes pH and prevents rapid fluctuations.
• Shock: Breaks down contaminants and refreshes chlorine effectiveness.
• Algaecide: Prevents and treats algae growth.
