Application Method
Place the required number of pods in your pool’s skimmer or floating chlorine dispenser. The slow-dissolution technology ensures a steady release of sanitizing agents into your pool water.
Water Balance
Regular water testing is essential when using these pods. Maintain proper pH levels (7.2-7.6) and total alkalinity (80-120 ppm) for optimal performance of the sanitizer.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place in the original container. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use.
Professional Tips
For best results, add pods in the evening or at night to prevent UV degradation of the active ingredients. Regular testing of chlorine levels helps maintain optimal sanitization while preventing over-chlorination
Pool & Spa Chemical Guide
As a retailer of pool and spa maintenance products, I've created this comprehensive guide to help you understand and maintain proper water chemistry for your pool or spa.
Water Balance Essentials
pH Levels (7.2-7.6)
The cornerstone of water chemistry that affects all other aspects of water treatment:
- Too high: Reduces chlorine effectiveness, causes scaling
- Too low: Equipment corrosion, skin/eye irritation
- Regular testing and adjustment crucial for optimal balance
Chlorine (1-3 ppm)
Primary sanitizer for most pools and spas:
- Free chlorine maintains water safety
- Stabilized chlorine provides longer-lasting protection
- Shock treatments eliminate contaminants and chloramines
Alkalinity (80-120 ppm)
Acts as a buffer for pH levels:
- Prevents rapid pH fluctuations
- Protects against corrosion
- Helps prevent scaling issues
Specialized Treatments
