🏊 How to get your pool summer-ready, step by step
KZN summer is just around the corner! Here's a quick guide to getting your pool swim-ready:
1️⃣ CLEAN: Scoop out leaves, brush the walls and vacuum the floor.
2️⃣ TEST: Check your pH and alkalinity. If your pH is high, Hall's Pool Acid brings pH and total alkalinity down and helps remove limescale and calcium build-up. Add it with the filter running, allow 2–3 hours to mix, then test again. From R51.10 (1L).
3️⃣ REFRESH: Faded pool shell? Excelsior Chlorinated Rubber Pool Paint is a flexible single-pack coating that resists common pool chemicals and reduces algae and fungal growth. Suitable for concrete, marbelite and gunite pools. 5L from R2230.42. Thin with Excelsior Pool Paint Thinners (from R95.81) and always follow the datasheet.
⚠️ Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling pool acid.
