Healthy pool water doesn’t happen by accident. Proper chemical balance is the key to sparkling, safe water that feels good on your skin and protects your pool’s surfaces and equipment. Whether you test and treat your pool yourself or rely on our experts, Pools of Fun has the guidance and products you need to keep your water in perfect harmony.

High or low pH can cause scaling or etching on the surface, while inadequate sanitizer invites bacteria and algae growth. Consistent chemical balance ensures safe swimming conditions, prolongs the life of your vinyl liner or fiberglass shell and keeps pumps, heaters and filters functioning efficiently.
