Pool service is an essential part of pool ownership. A swimming pool brings endless enjoyment, but it also requires diligent care. Ensuring your pool remains a sparkling sanctuary involves more than just skimming the surface.

Proper chemical maintenance is a key part of pool service. At Speck USA, we’re committed to making pool maintenance as smooth as a summer breeze. Here are eight top chemicals to keep your inground pool in pristine condition.

Chlorine: The Classic Cleaner

Chlorine remains the cornerstone of effective pool service and sanitization. It eliminates bacteria and keeps your water crystal clear. Regularly adding chlorine ensures that harmful microorganisms stay at bay. Whether you opt for liquid chlorine, tablets, or granules, maintaining the right chlorine level is essential for a healthy swimming environment.

pH Balancers: Perfecting the Pool

Maintaining the correct pH level in your pool is top of mind. If your pool’s pH is too high or too low, it can become a breeding ground for problems. pH balancers come in two forms: pH increasers and pH decreasers. These chemicals adjust the acidity or alkalinity of your water, keeping it comfortable for swimmers and effective for other chemicals to do their job.

Algaecides: Warding off the Green Invaders

Algae can turn a pristine pool into a green nightmare. Algaecides prevent these unwanted guests from taking hold. Regular use, especially in warmer months, keeps your pool looking inviting and clear. Choose from copper-based, quaternary, or polyquat algaecides, depending on your pool service needs.

Cyanuric Acid: The Sunblock for Chlorine

Cyanuric acid protects chlorine from being destroyed by the sun’s UV rays. Without cyanuric acid, chlorine dissipates quickly, leaving your pool vulnerable to bacteria and algae. Cyanuric acid stabilizes chlorine, ensuring your sanitizer lasts longer and making your maintenance routine more efficient.

Calcium Hardness Increaser: Strengthening Your Pool

Calcium hardness refers to the level of dissolved calcium in your pool water. Low calcium levels can lead to corrosive water, which can damage pool surfaces and equipment. A calcium hardness increaser helps maintain the ideal level, preventing corrosion and ensuring your pool stays in top shape.

Shock Treatments: Supercharging Sanitation

Regular shock treatments rejuvenate your pool water, keeping it clean and clear. Shocking your pool involves adding a large dose of chlorine to quickly raise the level and eliminate contaminants. This is essential after heavy use, storms, or when the pool appears cloudy. 

Clarifiers: Crystal Clear Waters

Clarifiers are your secret weapon against cloudy water. Flocculants work by clumping tiny particles together so your filter can easily remove them. Regular use of a clarifier keeps your pool water sparkling and inviting, enhancing the overall swimming experience.

Stain and Scale Preventers: Protecting Surfaces

Mineral deposits and metal stains can mar the beauty of your pool. Stain and scale preventers keep these issues at bay by sequestering metals and minerals in your water. Regular use protects your pool surfaces and equipment, ensuring they remain free of unsightly stains and scales.
