Owning a swimming pool is a great way to enjoy the summer months with family and friends. However, keeping your pool clean, sanitized and in good working order requires some essential supplies. Without the right equipment, basic pool maintenance can become a real chore. As a one-stop shop for all things pools and spas, Commercial Pool & Rec Products carries everything pool owners need to care for their water with ease. Let’s explore the top supplies that should be on every homeowner’s checklist.
Water Testing Kit
The very first line of defence in maintaining safe, clean pool water is routinely testing various parameters. A quality water testing kit allows homeowners to quickly and accurately check pH, alkalinity, chlorine levels and more. Proper balancing is key to preventing algae growth, cloudiness, irritation and corrosion. Commercial Pool & Rec Products offers a variety of affordable testing kits from leading brands.
Chemicals
No pool care regimen is complete without the right chemicals. Whether using chlorine, bromine, salt water or biguanide systems, sanitizers are a necessity for disinfecting the water. Other treatment chemicals like pH adjusters, algaecide, and shock help support the sanitizer and tackle specific issues. We stock the full line of chemicals from major manufacturers.
Pool Vacuum
Debris-like leaves and dirt will eventually build up on the pool floor if not removed regularly. An all-purpose vacuum makes quick work of cleaning the bottom without having to get in. Look for models with extra-large debris bags or cartridges for maximum capacity. Ours feature convenient setups attaching to most poles.
Brushes & Poles
Complimenting any vacuum is a quality brush for scrubbing pool surfaces. Soft-bristled brushes gently remove algae and mineral deposits from walls and stairs. Telescoping poles let users comfortably reach all areas from the deck while swivelling brushes maneuver corners with ease. Our selection includes brushes for in-floor cleaning too.
Pool Thermometer
Monitoring water temperature plays an important role in safety and effectiveness. Thermometers help ensure the pool is properly heated for enjoyment without compromising chemical levels. Opt for a floating model with an easy-to-read display to check at a glance.
Skimmer & Skimmer Net
Every day, debris rises to the surface and collects in the skimmer basket. Regularly emptying keeps the pump intake clearing and prevents clogs. Quality skimmers come with splash guards and large baskets for handling more. Don’t forget to equip them with a telescoping skimmer net for easy debris removal.
Chlorine Shock & pH Control
Even with a diligent routine, chlorine levels and pH can fluctuate, requiring an extra boost. Shock rapidly raises chlorine to super-sanitize the entire volume, while pH adjusters moderate acidity. These backup chemicals safeguard the water from imbalances.
Test Strips
An affordable and portable testing alternative, strips provide quick indicators for common pool parameters without needing additional equipment. They’re excellent for monitoring balanced levels between full water test kit usage.
