Algaecide: Kills and prevents all types of algae, including green & yellow mustard algae. Can be applied to inground or above ground pools and spas. This non-foaming formula will not cloud the pool water. Swimming Pool Algaecide is non-metallic, safe with well water, and is safe to swim after use.

Chlorine Shock: An essential aspect of spring pool opening & can also give your pool a quick chlorine boost anytime. A powerful shock treatment that kills the toughest algae and bacteria as well as other harmful water contaminants.

Clarifier: Coagulates dirt, oil and other contaminants that improves filter quality. Due to the high quality of filtration that DE Filters provide, it is not recommended that this product is used with a DE pool filter.

In The Swim's Recommended Pool Care


Maintenance First start by filling the pool to the appropriate level. Clean out the skimmer and pump basket making sure all debris has been removed. Once you hit the appropriate water level turn on and circulate the pool for 3 - 4 hours. While the pool is circulating take the time to brush, net, or vacuum the pool to remove excess debris. Backwash or clean the filter once the vacuuming is completed.	Water Testing & Balancing Testing the water weekly or bi-weekly, depending on use and outside variables, helps keep your pool/spa water healthy. Utilizing a DPD or OTO reagent-based water test kit, test strips, or digital testing will help you monitor the pool or spa water chemistry. Adjusting and balancing your pool or spa water chemistry ensures that you will get the most out of the swimming season. The benefit of having good pH and Alkalinity levels is it increases the ability of your main sanitizer to kill bacteria. Balanced pool water chemistry will also reduce chemical and maintenance costs. Balanced pH and alkalinity help prevent corrosion and scale formation on the interior pool surface and surrounding equipment.	Sanitizing There are many different types of sanitizers used in various pool and spa environments. Clean and healthy water starts by establishing a proper residual chlorine level with shock or concentrated granular chlorine. The most common way to maintain a proper chlorine level is by using trichlor chlorine tablets in either a floater or chemical feeder. Applying these steps to your normal maintenance plan will ensure the elimination of non-living organic contaminants, bacteria, micro organisms, and algae making your water safe to enjoy.


Treatment Even after all your preparation, sometimes life happens and your pool or spa can get away from you. In those moments, we need to start back from the beginning with testing of the water. Now that you have a clear idea of the current readings, your next steps will depend on the type of symptoms your water is presenting. This may include an issue such as algae (green, yellow, black, etc.), cloudiness, living organics, debris, and other water conditions.	Clarifying Now that the treatment is over, it’s time to deal with the aftermath of turbidity, cloudy, or hazy water. Depending on the size of particle that will determine what type of clarifier you are going to use. If you are dealing with larger particles, you should use a flocculating agent to break the surface tension and drop everything to the bottom for vacuuming. If you are dealing with very small fine particles then use a coagulant type clarifier. This will group the small particles together into a bigger particle for easy filtration.	Fun and Safety Now that the water is properly balanced, sanitized, and clarified it’s time to get in there and have some fun! We recommend enhancing your outdoor living environment with games, floats or loungers, toys, and accessories. Get creative! Safety is of the utmost importance, and there are many ways to help make your pool/spa safer. Having a life ring buoy, a shepherd's hook, depth markers, coast guard-approved life preservers, door and water alarms and having your local aquatic environment safety regulations on-hand will ensure a fun and safe environment for your family.
