The Winning Combination of Pool Chemicals for Easy Pool Care

 Because of the rampant inflation, we are experiencing in the industry new methods of weekly pool care need to be searched out to offset the high cost of chlorine and muriatic acid as well as the shortage of both. But many sports teams have paved the way by discovering that you need not one but two or three Superstars to win a championship in Football, Basketball, and Baseball among other elite sports.




What does a winning team for your pool look like? The old days of loading up a floater of chlorinator with 3” Trichlor tablets are no longer the easiest or cheapest method of pool care. That is kind of like giving one Superstar player a huge salary and then you can’t afford any other free-agent players. You can spread your chemical cost instead over two or three products to make things easier and also help you with your pool budget. Here are some good examples for you.

Trichlor, PoolRx & Borates (50 ppm)
Trichlor, Phosphate Remover, and Enzymes
Trichlor, Enzymes, and Borates

Cal Hypo Tablets, Liquid Chlorine, and Borates
Cal Hypo Tablets, Liquid Chlorine, and PoolRX
Cal Hypo Tablets, Liquid Chlorine, and Nature2

Salt Water Generator (SWG), Borates and PoolRx
SWG, Borates, and Enzymes
SWG, Borates 
SWG, Ozone, UV
SWG, AOP

Liquid Chlorine, Trichlor Tablets, and PoolRX
Liquid Chlorine, Trichlor, and Borates
Liquid Chlorine Feeder & Borates
Liquid Chlorine Feeder & PoolRx
Liquid Chlorine, UV, Ozone

Cal Hypo Shock, Trichlor and PoolRX
Cal Hypo shock, Trichlor, and Nature2
Cal Hypo Shock, Borates, Trichlor shock
Cal Hypo shock, Trichlor, Phosphate Remover & Enzymes

Chlorine Genie, PoolRx
Chlorine Genie, Borates

These combinations are pretty endless but you don’t want two All-Star Point Guards on the same team so I wouldn’t use liquid chlorine and Cal Hypo shock as a combination since each is a great primary sanitizer. The same with Cal Hypo Tablets and Trichlor Tablets since both are slow-release types f chlorine. You also would not need the PoolRX with a Nature2 since both do about the same thing. Hopefully, you get the idea.

The truth is the days of adding 3-4 gallons of liquid chlorine are a thing of the past since the price point has tripled over the past two years. Same with loading a pool up with Trichlor tablets. There are much better methods and any of the above combos can make your pool care easier and also save you time and money on your pool care.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin...

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT...
