Sanitizers

Pool sanitizers are essential for keeping water safe, clear, and comfortable to swim in. You should use a sanitizer such as chlorine when you notice any of the following conditions: 

When to use a Sanitizer


  • To kill bacteria, viruses, and germs
    Sanitizers destroy harmful microorganisms introduced by swimmers, rain, debris, and environmental contaminants.
     
  • When the water looks cloudy or dull
    Low sanitizer levels allow contaminants to build up, leading to hazy or murky water.
     
  • To prevent algae growth
    Chlorine stops algae spores from growing before they turn the pool green, yellow, or black.
     
  • After heavy pool use or pool parties
    Sweat, sunscreen, body oils, and cosmetics consume sanitizer quickly and need to be replenished.
     
  • When the pool has a strong “chlorine smell”
    This usually means there isn’t enough free chlorine—chloramines have formed and need to be broken down with proper sanitizing.
     
  • After rain, wind, or storms
    Weather introduces dirt, pollen, leaves, and organic debris that reduce sanitizer effectiveness.
     
  • If swimmers experience eye or skin irritation
    Poor sanitation and imbalanced chlorine levels can cause discomfort.
     
  • When water tests show low or zero sanitizer levels
    Consistent testing ensures sanitizer stays within the safe range to protect swimmers.
     
  • To maintain safe, swim-ready water at all times
    Sanitizers work continuously to keep the pool healthy—not just when problems appear.

Problems Sanitizers Correct


  • Green, yellow, or cloudy water
     
  • Slippery pool walls or floors
     
  • Strong odors coming from the water
     
  • Unsafe swimming conditions caused by bacteria
     
  • Algae blooms and organic contamination
