We always encourage you to have a small stock of pool/spa chemicals on hand for when you can't make it into the shop to keep your pool in good working order and avoid any expensive issues in the future.
Test kit & testing reagents
Chlorine, pH & Total Alkalinity are the main balances to keep in check. With a well-stocked test kit, you can make sure the pool is in balance even when you can’t get into the store.
Chlorine / Bromine
We suggest having at least 2 kg of on hand for a pool or 1kg Bromine for a spa (powdered chlorine will last longer and is easier to store than liquid chlorine)
Hydrochloric Acid / pH Reducer
5 litres of Hydrochloric acid will usually last around 4-6 weeks for an average-sized pool or 500gms of pH reducer for spas.
Buffer / Total Alkalinity Increaser
2 kgs of pH buffer for pools or 500gms of TA Increaser for spas will last you a month or more, depending on the weather conditions.
Salt & Minerals
Having a few extra bags on hand, ideally, 2-4, will allow you to top up if your chlorinator production drops.
Clarifier
1ltr Quick Clear liquid clarifier (or 3 - 4 Super Clear clarifying tabs) will help your filter remove organic and inorganic waste.
Oxidiser
1 kg Oxysheen will help the chlorine kill germs and bacteria much faster and efficiently.
