Do you struggle with pool algae every year? Algae are single-celled plants that contain chlorophyll whose seeds are drooped into pools by rain, wind, leaves and other debris and thrive off of sunlight and carbon dioxide. The most common types of pool water algae are green, pink, black and mustard. Algaecides are used to prevent this algae growth and kill existing algae that survives general chlorine dosages. 

DiscountPoolSupply offers the exclusive Algi-Free 2 which has a 50% algaecide concentration!  Use Algi-Free 2 to prevent algae from blooming with its weekly maintenance. This liquid algicide provides quick and long term algae protection. 

Your pool water might look sparkling clear, but your water may also contain a concealed hazard to your pool equipment and surface - Low calcium hardness.

Calcium hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium in your pool/spa water. If the water does not have enough calcium, it will scratch plaster surfaces. If there is too much calcium, it will deposit the excess on pool/spa surfaces and equipment.

A low hardness level can cause corrosion of your pool's plumbing and heater as well as stain or etch your pool's surface. Maintain hardness levels to ensure lack of vinyl bleaching, loss of vinyl elasticity, and in concrete pools calcium hardness helps prevent pitting. Maintain Calcium levels between 200 - 300 ppm for Pools and Spas/Hot Tubs. Remeber to first balance your alkalinity, then pH level and lastly your calcium hardness. 

TO RAISE CALCIUM HARDNESS:
- Test your water and calculate how much Calcium Hardness Booster is needed
- Mix with water and add to pool
- Use about 1/4 at a time and wait about 6 hours in between

A necessity for a clean and clear swimming pool.

Use shock to quickly raise the chlorine level in your pool. Various bacteria and organic pollutants can resist normal chlorination and result in contaminated and cloudy water. This build-up is highest during hot weather and periods of heavy pool usage.

Pools should be shocked on a weekly basis to prevent contaminated water and to improve efficiency of sanitizers.
