Eliminate Your Reliance on Chlorine With These Alternatives

Chlorine is the standard chemical used to keep your pool water clean, fresh, and clear. Most pool owners rely on regular trichlor tabs, but there are better alternatives out there. Whether you want a more effective way to apply chlorine to your pool or are looking for a chlorine-free pool maintenance plan, read on to learn more about some different options. 

Poolife NST Tablets

Poolife NST Tablets are a great alternative to traditional trichlor tablets. These tablets are chlorine-based, but do not contain cyanuric acid. NST Tablets help destroy organic contaminants without causing over-stabilization and successfully guard against bacteria, algae and other contaminants. Best of all, they have not been affected by the overall chlorine shortage. 

One of the better elements of Poolife NST tablets is that they continuously sanitize your pool for a full week, leaving you with steady chlorination without the risk of overstabilization. The slow dissolving tablets are designed to provide long-lasting safety and cleanliness for your pool.

NOTE: Do NOT use standard Poolife NST tablets in a feeder previously used for trichlor tablets. An explosion is highly likely.

For optimum results using NST, you should always maintain your pH level at 7.2, total alkalinity around 80 ppm, calcium hardness above 200 ppm, and free chlorine 1 to 4 ppm.

Chlorine-Free Baquacil CDX

Whether you are a new pool owner or a seasoned veteran, you will appreciate how effortless and effective this system is at providing clear and clean water. After all, the benefits of the CDX® Pool Care System are practically infinite. It starts with the chlorine-free formulation that’s less irritating to eyes and skin than chlorinating products, and it’s less harsh on swimsuits and pool liners. What’s more, the CDX® system keeps water clear, silky and soft, and most of all, it’s easy to begin and maintain.

Unlike chlorine, Baquacil’s effectiveness isn’t affected by temperature, sunlight, or pH changes and does not require stabilizer. This stability means you can go longer between Baquacil applications, which means less maintenance for you as a pool owner. You’ll also enjoy not having your hair and fabrics bleached and less skin and eye irritation. For more information about Baquacil and its benefits, click here to learn more.
