The ultimate hope for every pool owner is to have sparkling, clear water. There are many options for cleaning your pool; one of the easiest and most used methods is using a robot pool cleaner. But keeping your pool water clear and sparkling isn’t just a matter of cleaning—it’s also about the right chemicals. This article will discuss the essential chemicals that keep your pool crystal clear and how to use them with devices such as Beatbot pool cleaner and vacuum cleaner to get spot-on pool water.
Chlorine: The King of Pool Sanitizers
Chlorine is the star chemical in achieving clear, sparkling pool water. It’s a disinfectant that kills bacteria, algae, and other contaminants that can make your water cloudy. Maintaining balanced chlorine levels in your pool is the key to chemically clean and clear water. Using a robot pool cleaner regularly will keep debris out of the pool so the chlorine can get to work, keeping your pool sparkling.

Algaecides to Prevent Algae Growth
Algae is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to cloudy pool water. Algaecides are chemicals designed solely to stop algae from growing in your pool. Your pool robotic pool cleaner will take care of debris, but algaecides will act on a microscopic level to prevent algae spores from developing into an algae bloom. If you’re seeing green or cloudy water, an algaecide can help settle things down quickly.
Algaecides can be used with a pool vacuum or robot pool to clear away the larger debris, while the algaecide combats the invisible algae spores. To eliminate any mess, vacuum up debris using the Beatbot AquaSense or Beatbot AquaSense Pro after the water has been treated with algaecides.
Separation of Fine Particles: A. Flocculants and Clarifiers
After your pool cleaner has done its job, some very fine particles remain suspended in the water, which can cause dull or cloudy water. Then enter flocculants and clarifiers. These chemicals aid in agglomerating fine particles, making them big enough for your pool filter to remove. Your pool water will be nice, clear, and shinier because of these chemicals.
Flocculants are excellent for deep cleaning, particularly after a storm or a pool party when the water might be murky with fine debris. Paired with your robot pool cleaner, they ensure your pool’s filtration system can manage and break up all the particles. With a flocculant or clarifier, run your pool vacuum cleaner or robotic pool cleaner to eliminate the rest of the larger debris.
Always check chemical levels and balance them as necessary with the pH balancer.
The proper pH balance is crucial for clear pool water. Poor pH balance can cause scaling, cloudiness, or damage to your pool equipment. Well, the role of pH balancers is to help fix the pH levels in your pool to keep your water balanced at a pH level of around 7.4 to 7.6, which gives you the level at which chlorine works best.
By regularly checking the pH levels in your pool and making appropriate adjustments, your pool cleaning robot can do its job effectively. A well-balanced body of water means that your pool vacuum robot or robot pool cleaner can more effectively remove contaminants and leave you with sparkling water!
Cyanuric Acid: The Sunscreen for Your Chlorine
Cyanuric acid, or a stabilizer, is another chemical that protects chlorine from UV rays from the sun. Chlorine without the stabilizer can quickly dissipate, resulting in a loss of effectiveness. In addition, you can add cyanuric acid to your pool so the chlorine you put into it will last longer (read about how to treat a pool here), making it easier to keep it clear.
Beatbot AquaSense Pro Robot Pool Cleaner: If you’re busy but still want to maintain a clean pool without as much effort, then adding a robot pool cleaner like the Beatbot AquaSense Pro is a perfect addition. As the cleaner does its job in the pool, the chemicals protect the chlorine levels, providing you with a sparkling, clear pool all season long.
Swimming Safety: Should You Even Be Swimming?
Pool shock is a high-dose solution that rapidly increases your pool chlorination level, ending bacteria, algae, and other contaminants. Shock your pool regularly to keep your water crystal clear, even after heavy usage, storms, or a change in clarity.
This robotic pool cleaner offers additional cleaning when shock treatments happen. Although shocking the pool is an essential part of maintaining the quality of your pool water, many things could go wrong after doing so (like debris from your shock cleaner floating about), and that’s where running your pool robotic pool cleaner comes into play.
Conclusion
Getting your pool water to sparkle is about how you clean it and the right chemicals. A blend of chlorine, algaecides, clarifiers, pH balancers, and shock treatments can help keep your pool water clear and inviting all season long. When used alongside a robotic pool cleaner, such as Beatbot AquaSense Pro or a pool vacuum robot, these chemicals ensure that your pool is optimally drained and sparkling, crystal-clear water is delivered.
If you prefer a low-maintenance life, a high-tech cleaning tool and the correct chemicals guarantee a beautifully kept pool! The proper care is only a few steps away from your sparkling oasis!
