Your pool is a place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. And with the right combination of products, taking care of your pool can be equally carefree. With pool care systems, you can make water treatment as simple as possible, so you can spend more time kicking back in your backyard oasis. “When you use products that are designed to go together, it’s easier to figure out what to do and when to do it,” says Dana Davis, Arch Chemicals Southeast regional sales manager.
Arch Chemicals has made system pool care even simpler. Each of its systems comprises three products in a clear three-step process, with a once-a-week test. It’s truly as easy as one, two, three! Find the right system to meet your unique needs:
BAQUACIL® CDX™ System
Because it’s chlorine-free, pool water treated with the BAQUACIL CDX System is gentle on your hair and eyes and leaves skin soft and silky. “When you swim in a BAQUACIL System pool, you almost have a silky feel when you get out of the water,” Davis says. The BAQUACIL System isn’t pH-sensitive or affected by heat and sunlight, which means water only needs to be tested on a weekly basis, Davis adds.
Step 1: SANITIZE with BAQUACIL Sanitizer and Algistat to help control the growth of bacteria and algae.
Step 2: OXIDIZE with BAQUACIL Oxidizer so water continues to sparkle.
Step 3: MAINTAIN with the BAQUACIL CDX product to keep up oxidizer residuals and water clarity.
BAQUASpa® System
As the temperature of your water rises, skin pores open up, Davis says. So having a gentle product on your skin becomes even more important. The BAQUASpa System is chlorine-free and bromine-free, and has all the benefits of the BAQUACIL CDX System while being tailored to the needs of hot water.
Step 1: PREVENT with BAQUASpa Waterline Control to avoid waterline deposits.
Step 2: CLARIFY with BAQUASpa Oxidizer to maintain clear, beautiful water by oxidizing organic compounds.
Step 3: SANITIZE with BAQUASpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control to keep bacteria, algae, stains and scale at bay.
Brilliance® for spas System
The Brilliance for spas System offers all of the great benefits of bromine and is also chlorine-free. “It keeps a beautiful body of water,” Davis says.
Step 1: ENHANCE with Brilliance Scale Control with Soy Protein to moisturize while improving clarity and filtration.
Step 2: OXIDIZE with Brilliance Oxidizer with Mineral Salts to make skin feel softer while ridding water of contaminants.
Step 3: SANITIZE with Brilliance Sanitizer to dissolve evenly for consistent water purification.
POOLIFE® Active Cleaning Caplet System
“The POOLIFE Active Cleaning Caplet System is a very convenient way for a consumer to sanitize his or her pool without purchasing a chlorinator,” Davis says.
Step 1: CHLORINATE & CLARIFY with POOLIFE Active Cleaning® Caplets to keep your pool chlorinated and clean around the clock.
Step 2: SHOCK with POOLIFE TurboShock® shock treatment to maintain clear water.
Step 3: PREVENT with POOLIFE AlgaeBomb® 30 to keep algae under control.
POOLIFE® Multipurpose Tablet System
These three-inch tablets are multifunctional and prevent algae for up to eight days longer than the regular three-inch tablets, Davis says.
POOLife Multipurpose Tablet System
Step 1: CHLORINATE, CLARIFY & PREVENT ALGAE with POOLIFE Multipurpose 3” Cleaning® Tablets to sanitize, clarify and guard against algae.
Step 2: SHOCK with POOLIFE TurboShock® shock treatment to keep water clean and clear.
Step 3: SPARKLE & PREVENT with POOLIFE Pool Plus™ to protect against stains and scale.
