Why is it so important to store your pool chemicals correctly? First off, proper storage is required to maintain the longevity of your chemicals.

Taking care of a pool during a heatwave or in a generally hotter climate requires particular attention to ensure the water remains clean, safe, and comfortable for swimmers. As the sun blazes and water temperatures increase, factors such as rapid chlorine dissipation, increased bacterial growth, water evaporation and more come into play. If proper precautions and checks aren’t taken, it’s very easy for algae and bacteria to take over. It may seem intimidating, but don’t worry! The Pool Pros at Doheny’s have come up with a guide to help you understand the effects of hot weather and how to handle it.

Chlorine is one of the most common chemicals pool owners use to maintain the cleanliness and safety of swimming pools. It kills bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms that can cause infections and diseases. Chlorine’s active ingredient, trichloro-s-triazinetrione, is available in different concentrations, ranging from 65% to 99%. While both types can be effective at sanitizing pools, 99% active ingredient chlorine is far superior and has several advantages that make it the better choice.
