Pool Water Disinfection

To keep a pool running smoothly, maintaining clean water is the first priority. You must disinfect the water regularly using a pool disinfectant. It's also important to control water cleanliness, comfort, and prevent algae growth. Generally, the following chemicals are needed for daily pool maintenance.

Disinfectant: Trichloro [trichloroisochloruric acid (TIC)], usually available in tablet or powder form.

Algaecide: Generally use Cupric sulfate (for public swimming pools) and specialized Algaecides (for private swimming pools).

pH Regulator: Sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to adjust pH levels.

Flocculant: Generally use polymeric aluminum chloride (need to be absorbent) or clarifying agent (with filtration equipment, no need to adsorbent).

Test Kit: Generally use a 2-in-1 test kit.
