Lo-Chlor Chemicals is globally recognised as the market leader in specialised pool and spa water treatment. Lo-Chlor is 100% Australian owned and Australian made and now exports to more than 45 countries around the globe. Innovation and design remain at the

forefront of the company's strategy to bring the pool and spa industry the highest quality and performance in specialty pool and spa chemicals. Andrew Simons the founder of Lo-Chlor chemicals (1946 – 2006) graduated as a pharmacist from Sydney University in the early 1970's. After graduating Andrew was quick to establish successful businesses in both Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and later in his career in Sydney's lower north shore. During his tenure as a pharmacist Andrew worked closely with several hospitals and rehab centres and it was here (unbeknown to anyone) that Lo-Chlor Chemicals would be born. Through his extensive work on assisting hospitals treat and maintain their hydrotherapy and rehabilitation pools Andrew was quick to discover copper sulphate and its role as the most effective form of algaecide (which is still the case today). Still working as a pharmacist Andrew developed a low dose organo copper complex known as Lo-Chlor Pool Conditioner that was designed to kill and control algae and fungal infestations for an extended period of time. The main benefits of such a formulation were it was low in concentration, it was not affected by the addition of chlorine compounds and was guaranteed not to stain pool surface. Andrew manufactured the algaecide from the garage of his home in Sydney's east and sold box after box at his pharmacy in Sydney. The success that the product was met with was not something that he could ignore and in 1979 Andrew sold up his pharmacies and rented a small factory in Marrickville, Sydney where he started producing the algaecide and what would ultimately become the largest range of specialised pool and spa chemicals seen around the globe. Today the company (now owned and run by Paul Simons, Andrew's son) boasts more than 45 employees, has more than 100 specialty chemicals in its range and is recognised as a market leader around the globe. It has manufacturing facilities in both Sydney and Perth along with partnerships in both the United States and the United Kingdom which services the European and Mediterranean markets. Still located in Marrickville Lo-Chlor has a purpose built 3000 square metre facility where it manufactures and produces almost its entire range of specialised chemicals. 100% Australian owned and Australian made Lo-Chlor Chemicals and its staff continues Andrew's legacy and his core business values. Lo-Chlor prides itself not only on service but customer satisfaction and product quality. The passion and commitment of both the management and sales team together with their combined experience of over 200 years in the industry will ensure our customers remain at the forefront of the Pool & Spa Chemical market. Lo-Chlor holds market leadership in Specialty Pool & Spa Chemicals throughout several global markets and is seen as an innovator and leader in this specialised field. Technical expertise and intellectual know-how are resident with the experienced and skilled management and staff.

That ring around the waterline? It’s not going away on its own.

Sunscreen, body oils, pollen, and mineral deposits all combine to form that familiar scum line on tiles, fibreglass and vinyl. Standard pool chemicals treat the water, not the walls.

Waterline Wonder is formulated specifically for waterline grime. It removes the buildup without affecting your pool’s water balance, so you can clean the line without messing with your chemistry.

Shutting down or swimming through?

Lo-Chlor makes two algaecides for winter, and which one you need depends on whether your pool is going under a cover or staying open.

Winteriser Algaecide is the extra-strength formulation for pools that are shutting down. Slow-release, up to 90 days protection per dose.

Lo-Chlor Pool Algaecide is the all-seasons long-term algaecide for pools that stay open through winter. Prevents algae growth for up to 3 months.

Your pool shop will recommend the right one for your situation.

Open question to pool owners

We get asked the same three questions every winter. We are curious what you would ask if a pool chemist was standing in your backyard right now.

Drop your biggest winter pool question below. We will answer the best ones in a post next week and feature a few directly on our Stories.

No question is a silly one. The weirdest ones are usually the most useful.

Winter prep isn’t just about your water.

Your spa cover cops UV damage, moisture, dirt and general wear every single day. Over time the vinyl cracks, fades and starts looking tired. And your glass pool fencing? Chlorine splash, hard water stains and weather haze build up faster than you’d expect.

Cover Care is designed specifically for spa and hot tub vinyl covers. It revitalises aged surfaces with a UV-protective satin finish that resists water and won’t leave a slippery residue. Glass Glimmer restores glass and chrome to a smear-free shine.

Two products. Two problems sorted. The kind of detail that separates maintained from truly finished.

The winter product people overlook

Most people associate Solar Shield with summer evaporation. But its ability to retain heat makes it just as valuable in winter.

During the colder months, heat loss through the water surface accelerates. Solar Shield creates an invisible barrier that reduces both evaporation and heat loss, keeping your water temperature more stable and your energy costs down.

One litre gives four months of protection in an average-sized pool. Apply at shutdown and it works right through to spring.

Ask your Lo-Chlor stockist about Solar Shield for winter.
