Specialty pool products

Cloudy or milky water is often caused by the presence of fine suspended particles, which the filter alone cannot capture. According to our guide to visual problems for swimming pools, the recommended solution is to use a clarifier. This product works by grouping these microscopic impurities together so that they can be more easily captured by the filtration system. Within a few hours, the water will regain its clarity and crystal-clear appearance.

The appearance of algae on the walls or in the water is a clear sign that your pool needs proper treatment. According to our visual problem guide, the best solution is to apply an algaecide. This product is designed to effectively destroy existing algae and prevent its recurrence. In addition to proper filtration and shock treatment if necessary, algaecide quickly restores clear, healthy water while facilitating long-term maintenance.

When testing water, certain indicators are essential to ensure clear, balanced and pleasant water for swimming:

- pH: ideally between 7.2 and 7.6 to ensure comfort and product effectiveness.

- The disinfectant level (chlorine, bromine, etc.): it must be sufficient to eliminate bacteria and impurities.

- Total alkalinity (TAC): it stabilizes the pH and must remain within the recommended range.

- Calcium hardness (TH): too low, the water becomes corrosive; too high, it promotes scale.

Regularly monitoring these parameters allows you to know which balancing products or disinfectants to add to correct the situation. If you still have doubts, you can always refer to our balancing product guide to adjust your treatments.

A specialized product is used when a particular problem arises and the usual treatments are not sufficient. For example:

- If your water becomes colored due to metals, a sequestrant will be necessary.

- If foam forms, there are anti-foam products.

- If you notice limescale deposits, an anti-scale treatment is recommended.

These products are not used continuously like chlorine or pH, but rather occasionally to target a specific problem. They are therefore valuable allies for quickly correcting specific situations.
