Swimming Pool Treatment Chemicals

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

So summer is finally here along with everything that the better weather brings. For those with a swimming pool, this means afternoons relaxing by the pool side or catching up with your weekly exercise. With a clean and well maintained swimming pool on site, your home will undoubtedly be the envy of your friends and family. But if pool owners don’t take care, they could find pools become dirty and unpleasant – even leading to inefficient pumps and filters if left to go stagnate. So what can be done to keep pools in pristine condition? Swimming pool chemicals are the answer.

Here at the Swimming Pool Store we supply literally every chemical that pool owners could possibly need. Our 45 years of experience means that we’ve been able to develop our swimming pool supplies stock list so that it features only the best products and chemicals, all available to buy online for delivery straight to your home.

Here at The Swimming Pool Store we recognise that chlorine based products are an absolute necessity in any pool. Chlorine works by attaching itself to bacterium and germs on a molecular level, meaning that once it has been used to clean a pool it becomes ineffective for reuse. Filtration systems then remove the spent chlorine molecules and it’s the pool owner’s job to ensure that a fresh supply is maintained.

At The Swimming Pool Store we stock FI CLOR and Blue Horizon chlorine based products which can ensure that harmful germs aren’t passed from water to swimmer during use.

We can supply chlorine, bromine and shock treatment chemicals in tablet or in granular form; the choice between the two is largely academic. Swimmers should invest in some form of swimming pool chemicals especially if their pool is seeing increased use this summer. Not only can The Swimming Pool Store deliver products nationwide, we can also offer reliable sanitation advice over the phone.

How to Maintain Optimum Swimming Pool Chemical Levels

Monday, July 19th, 2010

There’s no doubt that a pool at your home can revolutionise how you spend your leisure time. Instead of sitting in front of the television, entire families can enjoy the healthy fun that a swimming pool brings. However, it’s important that the chemical levels in your pool are constantly monitored, especially if younger children or those with sensitive skin are using the pool. Thankfully, The Swimming Pool Store stocks the equipment and swimming pool chemicals necessary to make sure your pool is both safe and hygienic for when you come to use it.

It’s important to check and maintain the level of chemicals in your pool regularly for two main reasons. First and foremost is of course safety. A pool which has too many chemicals in it can be hazardous to health, causing irritation to skin and eyes upon contact. If ingested, water with a high chemical content can also cause nausea and further complications.

The second reason concerns hygiene. While too many chemicals are a problem, a low chemical content can also be an issue. Bacteria and algae naturally found in water can build up quickly if not targeted by chemicals such as chlorine and bromine. This can make pools dirty and unhygienic, as well as reducing the efficiency of the filtration system.

Here at The Swimming Pool Store we stock a selection of automated chemical dosing equipment and associated swimming pool supplies to help families maintain the correct chemical content. Automated equipment is the ultimate in low maintenance pool equipment.

All owners need to do is make sure that the facilities are stocked up with the appropriate chemicals, and the dosage machine does the rest. At the Swimming Pool Store, owners will find water testing strips, tablets and other pool testing equipment at competitive prices to help them get the most out of their investments. These and all of our swimming pool chemicals are available to buy quickly and easily online.

Swimming Pool Designs Henley on Thames

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Due to the fact that a swimming pool is such a major alteration to a home, it’s absolutely critical that the right design is selected and built. Very often, the best pools result from professionally designed plans based upon an individual client’s preferences, rather than a template pool. The latter method usually results in a pool that simply doesn’t fit in with the property at large, which can cause problems when homeowners come to sell. Fortunately, Edge Building and Leisure Ltd specialise in bespoke swimming pools Henley on Thames, which means that every single design we construct is utterly unique.

A pool from our experienced team will be like none other because we consider absolutely every aspect of the design. From materials, size, capacity, and intended usage, to colour, surroundings and theme; we’re as concerned with the minor details as the major factors.

When formulating a swimming pool design Henley on Thames, our designers always start at the same place; the client. As we pride ourselves on completely bespoke pools, we take the time to familiarise ourselves with all the relevant areas of the client themselves, such as character, pool needs, expectations, budget, lifestyle, surroundings and aesthetic tastes.

Such attention to detail allows us to offer an intensely personalised service which puts the client in control. Our experience in pool enclosures and our vast range of swimming pool supplies means that it’s important that we get as much detail as we can about what you the client expects, as there are so many options to choose from.

If you’re contemplating having a pool built on your property, look no further than a bespoke design from Edge Leisure which reflects what you are about. The rest of your home reflects your individuality, so why shouldn’t your choice of swimming pools Henley on Thames? For more information get in touch online or call a friendly member of staff.

Robotic Swimming Pool Cleaners

Monday, July 5th, 2010

It’s in beautiful weather like this that the value of a clean and well maintained pool becomes obvious to all. There are few things more refreshing in the heat than slipping into sparklingly clear water for a swim. However, many people don’t realise the time and work that goes into keeping a swimming pool clean and hygienic. Thankfully, with robotic swimming pool cleaner from The Swimming Pool Store, owners can clean their pool in a matter of minutes – so that swimmers can enjoy a dip just when they fancy it.

Here at the Swimming Pool Store we stock a range of cleaners, ranging in price from as little as £315. This means we’re able to cater for pool owners of all sizes, from homeowners privileged enough to have their own pools to large leisure complexes across the country.

We believe that a pool should help people de-stress and relax, and that’s why every item in our swimming pool supplies range is easily purchased via our website as a hassle free solution to cleaning requirements nationwide.

Many robotic cleaners work by cleaning the bottom of a pool by themselves, meaning that staff or homeowners can leave them to it. Cleaners remove dirt and grit from pool surfaces which helps prevent the growth of algae and scale, and ensures that filtration systems are kept free of obstructions.

When used in conjunction with swimming pool chemicals, these cleaners can lengthen a pool’s life and enhance its hygiene and attractiveness.

It’s important to purchase the right cleaner for your pool. If a cleaner is too small for a pool it will take too long to clean and will struggle, resulting in a short life. Conversely, avoiding spending more than is necessary on a cleaner which is designed for larger pools. To be completely sure which of our swimming pool cleaner range is the best choice visit our website.
