CHLORINE
Pool Chlorine – Water Sanitizer & Disinfectant
Pool chlorine is a chemical disinfectant used to maintain clean, safe, and hygienic water conditions in swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs. It works by killing harmful microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, and algae—through oxidation, making the water safe for swimmers and preventing the spread of waterborne diseases.
Available in multiple forms—tablets, granules, liquid, or powder—pool chlorine is the most effective and widely used sanitizer in both private and commercial aquatic facilities.

Flocculant – Pool Water Clarifier
Flocculant (also known as a pool clarifier) is a chemical additive used in swimming pools to clear cloudy or turbid water by binding together fine suspended particles (dust, oils, organic debris, dead algae) into larger clumps—or "flocs"—that can be easily removed by vacuuming or filtration.
Flocculants are particularly useful after heavy bather use, algae treatments, or environmental contamination (e.g., rainstorms, pollen).

Algicide – Algae Control for Pools and Spas
Algicide (or algaecide) is a chemical solution designed to prevent and eliminate algae growth in swimming pools, spas, fountains, and water features. It disrupts the cellular structure of algae, stopping reproduction and allowing the pool’s filter and chlorine to clear the water effectively.
Algicides are especially useful in warm weather or in shaded, stagnant areas where algae thrive.
