    All Pool Care Chemicals

    Imagine plunging into pristine waters, free from bacteria, algae, and other unwanted guests. The secret behind such perfection? It's HTH™ Pools' premium range of pool care chemicals and pool maintenance products.

    At HTH Pools, we have all the necessary products to ensure your pool remains the pristine oasis you deserve. Our portfolio of pool care chemicals and products includes the following:

    Algaecides: These pool care chemicals are designed to target and eradicate stubborn algae. While most algaecides offer a temporary solution, HTH Pools' algaecides stand out, guaranteeing a defense that lasts up to thirty days with certain products.. They are suitable for all pool types, and since they are non-foaming, you can dive in immediately or after a brief 15-minute interval.

    Sanitizers: Essential for any pool, sanitizers play a pivotal role in keeping the water pure and safe. HTH Pools sanitizers ensure clarity and actively shield against bacteria, algae, and other harmful microorganisms.

    Shocks: Shocks are vital for periodic pool maintenance, helping you restore the pool's chemical balance. The pool maintenance products boast a unique formula that sanitizes and avoids adding unnecessary cyanuric acid (CYA). With the added advantage of the Visible Blue Action in some shocks, you're always certain of its efficacy.

    At HTH Pools, we don't stop at the basics. Our range of pool care chemicals extends to specialty products like clarifiers, D.E. filter aids, filter cleaners, phosphate removers, etc. Each pool care product is crafted for specific needs, ensuring holistic care for your pool.

    Our pool maintenance products also include a test and balance portfolio. We offer products like alkalinity up, calcium up, chlorine stabilizer, and pH down for your water balance needs. These are essential to maintaining the perfect water balance and ensuring safety and comfort.

    What makes HTH Pools' products better? It's our relentless focus on quality, innovation, and user experience.

    While competitors may offer similar products, none marry effectiveness with safety and simplicity like ours. Every splash, every laugh, and every moment by your pool is our testament.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What pool chemicals do I need to maintain my pool?

      A complete pool maintenance program requires: (1) sanitizer (chlorine tablets or liquid), (2) shock, (3) balancers (pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness), (4) stabilizer/CYA, (5) algaecide, and (6) test strips or a test kit. Specialty products like clarifier, metal control, and filter cleaner are added as needed.

    • How do I open my pool for the season?

      The easiest way to open your pool is by using the HTH Pool Care Kit. It contains HTH™ Pool Care 6-Way Test Strips, HTH™ Pool Care Shock Ultra, HTH™ Pool Care Algae Guard Granules, and HTH™ Pool Care Metal, Stain & Scale Control. Once these products are added, follow up by balancing the water per water test results.

    • How do I close my pool for winter?

      The easiest way to close your pool is by using the HTH Pool Care Kit. It contains HTH™ Pool Care 6-Way Test Strips, HTH™ Pool Care Shock Ultra, HTH™ Pool Care Algae Guard Granules, and HTH™ Pool Care Metal, Stain & Scale Control. Once these products are added, follow up by balancing the water per water test results, clean the filter, lower the water level, blow out the lines, and cover the pool. Proper winterizing prevents algae, scale, and freeze damage. In mild climates, partial draining is not typical and the pool should be circulated a few hours per day.

    • What is the correct order to add pool chemicals?

      Never add multiple chemicals simultaneously. The safest order when multiple adjustments are needed: 1) Alkalinity adjusters, 2) pH adjusters, 3) Calcium hardness increaser, 4) Chlorine stabilizer (CYA), 5) Sanitizer (chlorine), 6) Shock (if needed), 7) Algaecide (24 hours after shock). Wait 4–6 hours and re-test between each step.

    • How do I maintain my pool if I'm going on vacation for two weeks?

      Before leaving: balance all chemistry, shock the pool, add algaecide, add a liquid solar blanket dose, and load your chlorine feeder or floater with fresh tablets. Ask a neighbor to check the water every 3–4 days with test strips and add chlorine if levels drop below 1 ppm. Set the pump timer to run 8–10 hours daily. A properly pre-treated pool can stay clear for 1–2 weeks with minimal attention.

    • What should I do if my pool water is unsafe to swim in?

      If free chlorine is below 1 ppm, pH is outside 7.2–7.6, or water is visibly green or turbid, do not swim. Treat the root cause: shock for low chlorine/green water, add pH Up or pH Down as needed, and run the filter continuously. Retest every 8 hours until all parameters are in the safe range: free chlorine 1–4 ppm, pH 7.2–7.6, no visible algae or cloudiness.

    • How do I reduce the total dissolved solids (TDS) in my pool?

      TDS accumulates from dissolved chemicals, minerals, and bather waste over time and cannot be reduced with chemical treatments — the only solution is partial or full water replacement. As a general guideline, replace 25–50% of pool water every 2–3 years, or when TDS exceeds 2,500 ppm above fill water levels. High TDS makes it harder to maintain water balance and can reduce sanitizer effectiveness.

    • Can I use HTH products in an inflatable or portable pool?

      HTH 1" Chlorine Tabs and liquid chlorine can be used in larger portable or inflatable pools. Use very small doses carefully calibrated to the pool's water volume, and always dilute before adding. Most inflatable pools have minimal filtration systems, which limits chemical distribution and makes water quality harder to maintain. Change the water frequently and test before every swim.
