Even the most seasoned professional may have questions about pool maintenance from time to time. That's why we have our direct pool care support through AquaGuard® at 1.800.SOS.POOL (1.800.767.7665). Many of the most frequently asked questions involve pool chemicals and how to use them.
Due to a national Trichlor and Dichlor shortage, many forms of chlorinating products are in short supply this year. You can still keep your pool sanitized and open all season - with liquid chlorine.
If you balance total alkalinity, you will have less fluctuation in your pH levels. It is recommended that you test alkalinity at least once a week, before testing the pH. The alkalinity of your pool should be between 80 and 120 parts per million.
Cyanuric acid, or CYA, is used as a pool stabilizer. CYA can help you reduce your chlorine consumption. CYA should only be used in outdoor pools.
