Pool Chemicals
Pool Chemicals are one of the most important elements in maintaining the beauty and balance of your pool. Chemicals are responsible for keeping pool water clean and free of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. The presence of bacteria is not only potentially dangerous for those who swim in the pool, but will also rob your pool of its crystalline, clear appearance.

Beyond just purchasing the necessary chemicals, it is also important to use the chemicals in the appropriate amounts to maintain balance. Balance refers to the levels of acidity and alkalinity in the pool water. For example, adding too much chlorine will increase the pool’s acidity, which can irritate a person’s skin and eyes, and even corrode the metal surfaces of your pool parts. This makes adding alkaline a crucial step in maintaining homeostasis. The alkaline will counteract the acidity of the chlorine when used in the correct quantity.
Adding too much of any one chemical into your pool water will disrupt the balance you are trying to achieve. A weekly water test at one of our retail locations can help you determine if your pool is missing any crucial chemical components. There are other things that can disrupt the balance of your pool chemicals, such as bodily fluids, sunscreen, dirt, and debris. Since the presence of these elements may be unavoidable, it is important to purchase and use pool chemicals on a regular basis, or to sign up for regular service through an Anthony & Sylvan maintenance contract.
 At Anthony & Sylvan Pools, we carry a selective inventory of pool chemicals—the brands that we feel represent the best of what is available on the market. We also carry a branded line of Anthony & Sylvan chemicals, which are used by our technicians during routine pool maintenance and service. Since chemicals are such an important component of pool care, it is essential to use the very best products available.
For your convenience, you can also purchase your chemicals at our online store.
