1. Say Goodbye to Green Pool Water!
Is your swimming pool starting to look more green than blue?
Green pool water is often caused by algae growth, which can develop when sanitiser levels are too low or pool maintenance has been neglected.
The good news? With the correct treatment and regular maintenance, you can get your pool back on track.
Products to look for:
-
Swimming pool chlorine and sanitisers
-
Pool algae treatments and algaecides
-
Pool water testing products
-
Pool brushes and cleaning accessories
Pool care tip: Before adding chemicals, test your pool water and follow the treatment instructions carefully. Different pool problems require different solutions.
2. Keep Your Pool Water Crystal Clear
Nobody wants to swim in cloudy, murky water!
Cloudy swimming pool water can be caused by poor filtration, unbalanced water chemistry or tiny particles suspended in the water.
Keeping your pool clear starts with good water circulation, proper filtration and regular testing.
Depending on the cause, pool clarifiers or flocculants may help remove fine particles from the water.
Products to look for:
-
Pool clarifiers
-
Pool flocculants
-
Water testing kits
-
Pool filter and cleaning accessories
Pool care tip: Always check your filter and water balance before adding extra chemicals. Never mix pool chemicals together.
3. Make Pool Maintenance Easier
Your swimming pool should be a place to relax — not another full-time job!
With the right pool cleaning equipment, keeping your swimming pool in good condition can become part of a simple weekly routine.
From removing leaves and debris to brushing pool walls and cleaning the floor, a little regular attention can help prevent bigger problems later.
Useful swimming pool cleaning essentials include:
-
Pool nets and leaf skimmers
-
Pool brushes
-
Pool vacuum equipment
-
Automatic or robotic pool cleaners
-
Pool cleaning accessories
Investing in suitable cleaning equipment can save time and make your pool easier to maintain throughout summer.

4. Balance Your Pool Water for Better Results
Clear water doesn't always mean correctly balanced water.
Proper pool water chemistry helps your sanitiser work effectively and protects pool surfaces and equipment.
A regular testing routine should include checking your pool's pH and sanitiser levels, with other water-balance measurements taken as appropriate for your pool.
Products to look for:
-
Pool water testing kits
-
pH increasers and reducers
-
Pool alkalinity adjustment products
-
Suitable pool sanitisers
Pool care tip: Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions and avoid adding chemicals without testing first.
5. Get Ready for South Africa's Hot Summer Days
As temperatures rise, swimming pools often need extra attention.
More sunshine, warmer water, summer storms and increased swimming activity can all affect your pool's water quality.
A simple weekly maintenance routine can make a big difference:
-
Test your pool water regularly.
-
Remove leaves and floating debris.
-
Brush pool walls and steps.
-
Clean the pool floor when needed.
-
Check your filtration system.
-
Adjust water chemistry according to your test results and product instructions.
A little preparation now means more time enjoying your pool later!
