Algae-Free Guarantee

Keeping your pool clear and algae-free can be sink or swim.

Take out the guesswork with Scioto Valley's Algae-Free Guarantee. By following our four step program, you can enjoy crystal clear and perfectly safe water with the confidence of never having algae. We’re so sure, we guarantee it with a $100 gift card.

Here are the four steps to keeping your pool algae-free:

1. Test and balance water properly weekly — at least.

Proper water balance ensures the chemistry is right for the chlorine to sanitize the pool.

We recommend you test your pool after any significant change, too — a heavy rain, leaves in the pool, a big pool party with the neighborhood kids, etc.

2. Sanitize your pool with the AquaSmarte Mineral System

This will kill any bacteria and protect against growth of algae, viruses and other problems that can get into your pool water.

Use the AquaSmarte Mineral System, which kills bacteria two ways: with minerals and a low level of chlorine – only .5ppm – for an ultra-clean pool.

It takes less than 15 minutes a week to maintain – no mess, no guess, and no stress.

3. Stop feeding the algae.

Use Natural Chemistry to eliminate phosphates, which are the primary food source for algae.

Phosphates also create a higher demand on chlorine, and reduce the efficiency of chlorine generators and equipment.

4. Shock Your Pool

Use Swimway’s Non-Chlorine Blast to destroy organic waste.

It’s safe to swim within 30 minutes and won’t bleach out liners or swimsuits.
