There’s something universally satisfying about stepping into a pool with pristine, sparkling water. But what many homeowners overlook is that the visual clarity is only one part of the equation. Beneath the surface lies a delicate balance of chemistry—one that ensures not just beauty, but safety, comfort, and the longevity of your pool system.
At Sleemans Group, we believe that understanding the importance of pool chemicals is the foundation of responsible pool ownership. Whether you’re a weekend swimmer or managing a resort, this knowledge is essential.

Pool chemicals are often thought of as optional extras—something to toss in when the water starts to look a bit green. In reality, they are your pool’s first line of defense. Here’s why:
Sanitation
Chlorine and bromine eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause illness.
Balance
pH and alkalinity need to be maintained within ideal ranges to prevent skin irritation, eye redness, and equipment corrosion.
Stability
Cyanuric acid helps chlorine last longer, especially under sunlight.
Protection
Calcium hardness levels prevent scaling or etching of pool surfaces.
- Rapid algae growth that turns water murky and slippery
- Pipe corrosion and heater damage, costing hundreds or even thousands in repairs
- Cloudy water caused by improper calcium levels
- Unbalanced pH that reduces chlorine’s effectiveness and causes skin irritation
