Monsoon Pool Prep Supplies

Arizona monsoon season brings heavy dust and rain that can load up your pool with debris. Now, your phosphate levels are high and your chemistry out of balance. Find the right pool supplies before the storm.

"Keep your phosphate levels as low as you can due to the debris floating. Phosphates are airborne with dust and any kind of leaves that will break down. If there's no food source, very seldom can you get algae." — Dan Panfili, Pool Equipment Specialist, Shasta Pool Supply

  • Shock and liquid chlorine — Boost chlorine to 4–5 ppm after a storm.
  • Multicyclone prefilters the fine dust
  • Phosphate reducer — Keep levels as low as possible with Pool Perfect + Phosfree or Phosfree.
  • Brushes, poles, and leaf rakes — Skim, empty skimmer and pump baskets, brush the walls, and vacuum after every storm.
  • Algae prevention — Elevated phosphates allow algae to grow.
  • pH Down and Total Alkalinity — Test two to three times a week during monsoon season.
  • Pool First Aid — A clarifier helps your filter pull out what brushing and shocking can't.
