10 Essential Products to Keep Your Pool Clean
Keeping a pool clean requires more than just skimming leaves from the surface or turning on the filtration. To ensure clean, balanced, and ready-to-use water, it's essential to use the right products at each stage of maintenance.
From disinfectants, pH regulators, anti-algae, and clarifiers, there are indispensable solutions to keep pool water in good condition with less effort.
In this guide, we've gathered 10 essential products to keep your pool clean, prevent water problems, and simplify maintenance throughout the year.
Water Disinfection Products
Liquid Active Oxygen
Among pool treatment products, liquid active oxygen stands out as one of the most complete solutions for those seeking effective, comfortable, and chlorine-free maintenance. It is an increasingly sought-after alternative to keep water clean and balanced, especially in frequently used environments.
Suitable for domestic use and regular maintenance, it helps keep the water in good condition without compromising user comfort. Unlike traditional chlorine treatments, liquid active oxygen is odorless, does not irritate skin or eyes, does not remove color from swimsuits, and helps keep wasps away from the pool, making the experience more pleasant throughout the summer.
For more demanding needs, concentrated liquid active oxygen offers a more intense formula, suitable for professional use, pools with a larger volume of water, or contexts of more frequent use. It provides reinforced action and greater responsiveness in more demanding treatments.
Ideal for: private pools, regular maintenance, and professional use
Advantages: odorless disinfection, greater comfort, does not irritate skin or eyes, does not discolor swimsuits, and reinforced action for intensive use
Granular Fast-Dissolving Chlorine
The 60% granular fast-dissolving chlorine is a practical and effective solution for quickly correcting pool water problems. With immediate action, it is especially suitable for shock treatments and rapid water corrections.
It is suitable for the elimination of microorganisms from pool water, oxidation of organic matter, inhibition of unpleasant odors, and for the prevention of infectious disease transmission, making it an effective solution to quickly restore water quality.
This type of treatment is ideal when the water appears turbid, with altered coloration, after periods of increased use, or whenever a quick corrective disinfection is needed.
Thanks to its rapid dissolution, it acts quickly and becomes an essential solution for punctual interventions and effective water recovery during the summer.
Ideal for: turbid water, green water, shock treatment, and quick corrections
Advantages: fast action, immediate dissolution, high effectiveness, and rapid water recovery
Active Chlorine Tablets
The 90% active chlorine tablets are one of the most practical solutions to keep pool water crystal clear, balanced, and safe throughout the season. Due to their highly concentrated formulation, they ensure effective and continuous disinfection, helping to control bacteria and other microorganisms present in the water.
With slow dissolution and prolonged action, they allow a gradual release of the product, ensuring more stable maintenance and reducing the need for frequent applications.
They are the ideal basis for regular and continuous maintenance, contributing to cleaner, safer water that is ready to use at any time.
Ideal for: regular maintenance, continuous disinfection, and prolonged treatment
Advantages: 90% concentration, prolonged action, gradual release, and crystal-clear water for longer
pH+ pH Increaser
Maintaining balanced pool pH is essential to ensure treatment effectiveness and user comfort. Liquid pH increaser allows for controlled pH increase, helping to correct overly acidic water and restore the ideal balance.
Its gradual action raises the water's pH to recommended levels, between 7.2 and 7.6, preventing problems such as equipment corrosion, premature material wear, and eye and skin irritation.
It is a fundamental product for stabilizing pool water and ensuring better treatment and usage conditions.
Ideal for: low pH water and water balance correction
Advantages: controlled correction, equipment protection, and improved water comfort
pH- pH Reducer
When the water's pH is above recommended values, liquid pH reducer is the ideal solution to restore pool balance. This product allows for controlled and precise pH reduction, being indispensable whenever levels are above 7.6.
By correcting the water's pH, it helps optimize disinfectant effectiveness, improves treatment quality, and prevents imbalances that can cause discomfort to bathers.
Excessively high pH can cause skin and eye irritation, reduce the effectiveness of disinfection products, and contribute to the deterioration of pool components and surfaces. Its regular use helps keep the water balanced, more comfortable, and properly treated.
Ideal for: high pH water and water balance correction
Advantages: precise adjustment, optimizes disinfectant, improves comfort, and stabilizes water
5-Action Multifunction Treatment
The 5-action multifunction treatment combines five essential pool maintenance functions in one product: disinfectant, algicide, flocculant, anti-limescale, and pH stabilizer.
Designed for simpler and more complete maintenance, it helps eliminate microorganisms, prevent algae, keep water clean and transparent, and ensure more stable continuous chlorination, even during warmer periods.
It is a practical solution for those seeking a complete treatment with less effort and greater convenience in daily life.
Ideal for: simplified maintenance and complete pool treatment
Advantages: 5 functions in one product, continuous disinfection, algae prevention, and more stable water
Waterline Cleaner
The waterline cleaner is essential for keeping the pool looking tidy and free of visible dirt. This product was developed to dissolve and remove ingrained residues at water level, where they accumulate most easily.
It is especially effective in removing stains caused by oils and greases from sunscreens, dust, and other debris that adhere to pool walls and form dark marks at the waterline.
It allows for effective cleaning without clouding the water and can be used without the need to completely empty the pool. For best results, it is recommended to apply with a sponge or brush, wearing protective gloves.
Ideal for: edge cleaning and stain removal at the waterline
Advantages: removes grease and ingrained residues, does not cloud the water, and improves the appearance of the pool
Liquid Flocculant
Liquid flocculant is a compound with a high capacity for removing small suspended particles present in pool water.
Its action allows fine particles to agglomerate and form larger flocs, facilitating their removal by the filtration system.
It is especially useful for improving water transparency, helping to eliminate cloudiness and keep the pool cleaner and more crystalline.
Ideal for: cloudy water or water with fine suspended particles
Advantages: improves transparency, eliminates cloudiness, and facilitates filtration
Anti-Algae Algicide
The anti-algae algicide is a treatment product developed to prevent and eliminate algae growth in pool water.
Its formula creates a chemical barrier that prevents the proliferation of algae and acts effectively when algae are already present, helping to keep the water clean and visually well-maintained.
Formulated with a polymeric compound with excellent algicidal and fungicidal properties, it helps preserve water quality without causing foam formation.
Ideal for: prevention and treatment of algae in the pool
Advantages: prevents algae proliferation, helps maintain clean water, and does not form foam
Mini Pool Kit
Inflatable and portable pools also need regular care to keep the water clean and safe. The Mini Pool Kit was designed for this type of pool, bringing together the essentials for simple and effective maintenance.
Composed of granular fast chlorine and algicidal disinfectant, it allows for practical treatment adapted to small pools, helping to keep the water in good condition for longer.
It is a simple and effective solution to ensure safer and more comfortable use on hotter days.
Ideal for: inflatable and portable pools
Advantages: practical, simple, and adapted to small pools
