You’re Wasting Money on These 6 Pool Chemicals

Chances are you're paying pool-store prices for stuff that's really just basic, everyday ingredients, or worse, buying products your pool doesn't even need. Some of these have cheap substitutes sitting in your kitchen cabinet right now, while others only matter in very specific situations. In this video, I'm breaking down six pool chemicals that might be wasting your money, and what to use instead. I'll walk you through how your chlorine type, your test results, and even your pool's surface all factor into what you actually need, before you spend another dollar at the pool store. You'll also find out: 🧂 Why alkalinity increaser is basically just baking soda with a markup 🧪 What actually works instead of store-bought pH increaser and decreaser ☀️ Why adding more stabilizer isn't always a good thing 🪨 Whether your pool actually needs calcium hardness increaser 🌿 What phosphate remover really does (and doesn't do) for algae ⚡ Why saltwater pools still need chlorine, even though people assume otherwise Quick but important warning: always follow the label on any pool chemical you're using. Wear the right protective gear, add chemicals one at a time, and never, ever mix chlorine with muriatic acid or any other pool chemical together. So which of these six surprised you the most?
