Algae Control Solutions
Our algaecides provide comprehensive control of green, mustard, and blue-green algae in both chlorine and saltwater pools. Formulated with copper sulfate and quaternary ammonium compounds, these solutions work through dual-action chemistry to eliminate existing algae while preventing regrowth. Professional-grade concentrations ensure effectiveness even in severe infestations, with maintenance doses available for ongoing prevention.
Stain & Scale Prevention
NSF-certified products like Salt Protect and Protect-All Supreme prevent metal staining and calcium scaling through advanced sequestration technology. These solutions bind dissolved metals and minerals, keeping them in suspension for easy filtration. Regular application maintains surface integrity while reducing maintenance frequency, with visible results in 24-48 hours for most applications.
Water Clarity Products
Enzyme-based clarifiers and flocculants improve water quality by removing organic contaminants and particulate matter. Our products work with all filtration systems to eliminate cloudiness caused by body oils, pollen, and algae remnants. The non-petroleum formulations prevent filter clogging while maintaining chemical balance, achieving crystal-clear results within hours.
NSF Certified Chemicals
Our NSF-certified line includes stain preventatives, algaecides, and water clarifiers that meet rigorous safety and performance standards. These products undergo third-party verification for effectiveness and environmental impact, ensuring compliance with health regulations while delivering professional results for commercial and residential pools.
Pool Surface Protection
Specialized treatments protect pool surfaces from chemical damage and staining. Acid wash additives reduce etching during cleaning, while scale removers prevent buildup on tiles and equipment. Our solutions maintain surface aesthetics and longevity through protective barriers that minimize direct contact with harsh chemicals and mineral deposits.
Questions
Are Bio-Dex products safe for saltwater pools?
Yes, our NSF-certified Salt Protect formulation works effectively in saltwater systems to prevent staining and scaling without compromising chlorine generation.
How do I choose between different algaecide products?
For severe infestations, use Aqua Pure Algaecide with copper content. For maintenance, Skill-It offers quaternary ammonium-based prevention without metal staining risks.
What makes Bio-Dex products environmentally friendly?
Our biodegradable formulas like Plaster White 'n Brite eliminate acid fumes during application and contain no petroleum-based ingredients that could harm aquatic ecosystems.
Can I use these products in spas?
Yes, we offer spa-specific formulations like Spa Foam Stop and Spa Oil-Out that maintain water clarity while being safe for acrylic surfaces and heating elements.
How often should I apply water clarifiers?
For residential pools, use Clearex 500 weekly at 2 oz per 14,000 gallons. Commercial pools with heavy use may require daily applications at higher concentrations.
What safety precautions are needed?
Always wear protective gear when handling concentrated chemicals. Follow label instructions for dilution and application timing to ensure swimmer safety and chemical effectiveness.
