Hi Deb,

What you require is a Chemcial starter pack. What that includes is:

1) Stabilised Chlorine Granules - this is your general everyday use chlorine, this helps keep the pool water clear. You need to keep this level between 1-3ppm which are your test strips

2) Test Strips/Kit - this helps you read the chemcials in the pool water. it tells you what chemicals to add & also water the chemcial levels should be at.

3) Ph Plus & Minus - these are two different chemicals that lower & increase the ph in the pool water. On your test strips it shows you need to keep the level at 7.2 - 7.6. if the ph is higher than 7.6 you need to add ph minus. if the ph lower than 7.2 you need to increase the ph. This is important to keep correct. if the ph is too high it wouldn't allow the chlorine to work correctly.

4) Algaecide - this is a weekly maintenance to keep the pool water green free. it controls the algae in the pool water.

This is on our website @ £34.00 + £5.99. Orders over £50 is carriage free. The link is :-

Also the chemcial pack comes complete with instructions & dosing rates on the back of all the containers.

Hope This helps
