What is the recommended pool chemical to use?

The choice of pool chemicals can depend on several factors, including the type of pool, the water conditions, and the specific maintenance needs. Generally, Namco Pools recommends a balanced approach to pool sanitation, which often includes chlorine or alternative sanitizers like bromine or salt chlorine generators. Chlorine remains a popular choice for disinfecting pool water and is effective in killing bacteria and algae. In addition to sanitizers, it is crucial to regularly use pool shock treatments to eliminate combined chlorine and contaminants. Algaecides may also be beneficial for preventing algae growth during warmer months. pH balancers and alkalinity increasers or decreasers help maintain optimal water chemistry, ensuring swimmer comfort and equipment longevity. It is always advisable for pool owners to regularly test their pool water and adjust the chemicals accordingly, as improper chemical balance can lead to water clarity issues or damage to the pool surfaces.
