What is Optimizer and why do I want to use it?

Optimizer is a new and unique product that “optimizes” the performance of the chemicals in your pool water, suppresses algae growth, and makes swimming more comfortable for your skin and eyes, all at the same time. Few products can offer so many benefits all at once.

Optimizer increases sanitizer efficiency in all types of pools. It also improves the buffering in pool water making it easier to maintain the proper water balance for the protection of equipment and pool surface. Your pH will be easier to maintain, and your water will have a smooth and gentle feel to it.

Besides making your chemicals work better, Optimizer is also an algae suppressant, preventing algae growth before it has a chance to make your water swimmable.

Optimizer is a compound called sodium tetraborate pentahydrate. When added to a chlorine, bromine or SoftSwim pool, the results are phenomenal! So phenomenal that this formulation has also been used as a bath conditioner. This borate-based product provides a smooth and gentle feel to the water, enhancing water quality and increasing overall comfort by reducing skin and eye irritation.

You generally only have to add Optimizer once a season. The benefits of using Optimizer in your pool are long lasting. Once the proper level of Optimizer is established, only draining, backwashing and splash out will result in a need to add more. In fact, if your levels are adequate when you close your pool, Optimizer will keep working throughout the Winter.

Pools that have been treated with Optimizer have exceptional water clarity and a dazzling sparkle that you will notice. But most importantly, pools using Optimizer are easier to take care of, and that’s the point– to find technologies that make caring for your pool easier.
