Q: I’ve been hearing about sunscreen for my pool…what is this?
A: In the summer when the sunlight is at its peak, the sun ‘eats’ your pool’s chlorine. This requires you to be constantly adding more, making sure your pool has appropriate levels. To reduce chlorine loss your pool needs stabilizer/conditioner or cyanuric acid. This is also referred to as ‘sunscreen’.
Using sunscreen on your pool can save you up to 50% on chlorine expenses for the season. It means shorter chlorination times for saltwater swimming pools.
Add sunscreen to your pool by purchasing a ‘sunscreen’ product. Not sure which one to purchase? Contact Ask the Pool Guy and we can point you in the right direction.
