Frequently Asked Questions

What chemicals do I need to open my pool?
You'll typically need a sanitizer (like chlorine), a shock treatment, algaecide, and a balancer to start the season off right. We can guide you based on your water test results.

How often should I test my water?
We recommend testing 1–2 times per week during heavy use and after rainstorms. Bring a sample to our store—we test for free.

Can I use pool chemicals in my spa?
Not always. Spa chemicals are formulated for hot water and small volumes. Using pool chemicals in your spa could damage the system or irritate skin.

What’s the difference between chlorine and bromine?
Chlorine works faster and is more common in pools. Bromine is better for spas due to its stability in high heat. We’ll help you choose the best fit.

How can I prevent cloudy water?
Cloudiness can come from imbalanced pH, poor filtration, or contaminants. Start with a test and use clarifiers or shock as needed.
