Does maintaining your swimming pool feel like a chore? It doesn’t have to be that way! In fact, at Mastercraft Pool & Spa, we are of the opinion that it definitely shouldn’t feel that way. With the right pool supplies, a little know-how, and a favorite “pool store near me”, your swimming pool water care can be as easy as pie. Our team is all about making pool care a breeze with our knowledgeable staff, a fully stocked retail location, and a user-friendly online store. Here’s a guide to the essential pool supplies you need to keep your water sparkling and your pool maintenance routine hassle-free.
First up, let’s talk about professional-grade sanitizers. Pool chlorine is the go-to for many pool owners. It’s effective at killing bacteria and algae, keeping your water safe for swimming. It’s easy to use and powerful at doing its job.
However, if you have sensitive skin or prefer a gentler option, bromine might be your best bet. It works similarly to chlorine but with less irritation. You can find both incredible options in our pool chemicals online store or at our store in Pocatello.

Balancing your pool’s pH and alkalinity is paramount for comfortable swimming and prolonging the life of your pool equipment. In fact, pH balance is important for a lot of your other chemicals to work correctly, and alkalinity allows your pH levels not to fluctuate. They go hand in hand to provide balance to your pool water.
If the pH is too high or too low, it can lead to problems like cloudy water, scaling, or corrosion. That’s where pH and alkalinity balancers come in. They help you keep the pH levels in check, ensuring your pool water is just right. And when your pH is right, it saves both time and money on balancing other chemicals like sanitizers and more.

Shock treatments are like a reset button for your pool. They’re used to break down organic contaminants and refresh the water. It’s a good idea to shock your pool weekly to keep it in top condition. This helps prevent issues like cloudy water and algae growth, making your pool more inviting for a spontaneous dip.
Pool party happening? Shock the water before and after to prevent issues. High bather load can lead to increased contaminants such as body oils, sunscreen, perfume, detergent on swimsuits, dirt and grass on feet, and more. Get ahead of the issues with pool shock.

Speaking of algae, it can be a real party pooper. High-quality algaecides are your secret weapon against these unwelcome guests. They prevent and kill algae, keeping your pool water clear and beautiful. With regular use, you can say goodbye to green, slimy pool walls and hello to clear, blue water.

For crystal-clear water, flocculants and clarifiers are a must. They work together to remove tiny particles from your pool. Flocculants clump the particles together, making them easier for your filter to catch. Clarifiers help your filter work more efficiently, ensuring your water stays sparkling.
Testing your pool water regularly is essential for maintaining balanced water chemistry. Pool testing kits make this task easy. They allow you to check levels of chlorine, bromine, pH, and more. By keeping an eye on these levels, you can make adjustments as needed and keep your pool in perfect shape.
