What Swimming Pool Chemicals Do I Need?
Our swimming pool chemical kits can be used for above ground
pools measuring 8ft and over. The kits include chlorine granules, pH Plus and
Minus, Super Algaecide and Test Strips. Please see the product page for more
details.
If you don't want to buy a whole chemical kit, you may decide
just to buy test strips and chlorine to start with. However, bear in mind that
if the pH value is too high, then the effectiveness of chlorine is reduced.
Scale formation may occur, the water could become cloudy and the capability of
the filter might be reduced due to blockage. If the pH value is too low, it is
probable that corrosion will occur around the pools fittings. Most
importantly, a low pH may lead to skin and eye irritation. Also, if you do not
apply algaecide, your pool may be infested with algae and turn green. If your
pool does turn green and you have a paper cartridge filter, you will usually
need to empty the pool completely and refill using the correct chemicals.
Otherwise, your filter cartridge will become blocked.

Pool Chemical Advice section if you require any more
