When it comes to keeping your backyard pool sparkling and safe, chlorine is a must—but how you add it makes all the difference! At Aqua-Tech, we actually don’t recommend using traditional chlorinators. Why? Because there’s a safer, simpler, and more effective way to care for your pool water with the specialized products we offer. Trust our team of water care experts with over 440 years of combined experience.
Why We Don’t Recommend Pool Chlorinators:
Chlorinators—those devices that automatically feed chlorine into your pool—might sound convenient, but they come with a few safety risks and maintenance headaches:
- Chemical Handling Hazards: Loading and maintaining chlorinators means handling strong chemicals up close, which can lead to accidental spills, splashes, or exposure.
- Risk of Mixing Chemicals: Chlorinators can sometimes be misused with the wrong type of chlorine or combined with other products, leading to potentially hazardous reactions.
- Equipment Issues: Chlorinators can clog, leak, or corrode over time, which means more maintenance and a higher risk of equipment failure.

The Aqua-Tech Way: Skimmer-Feeding Chlorine Sticks
Here’s the good news: with Aqua-Tech’s specialized pool care products, you don’t need a chlorinator at all! Instead, you can safely and easily use chlorine sticks right in your skimmer. Here’s why we love this approach:
1. Worry-Free Water Care: Our premium chlorine sticks are designed for safe skimmer feeding—just pop them in the skimmer basket and let your pool’s circulation system do the work. No complicated equipment, no risky chemical handling!
2. Consistent, Even Distribution: Skimmer feeding ensures chlorine is distributed evenly throughout your pool, keeping water clean and clear while reducing the chance of “hot spots” or overdosing.
3. No Equipment Hassles: Say goodbye to clogged feeders, leaks, and repairs. Skimmer feeding is simple, reliable, and perfect for busy Canadian families who just want to enjoy their pool.
4. Safe for You and Your Pool: Our recommended products are formulated for direct skimmer use, so you get powerful sanitation without the risks associated with traditional chlorinators.
How to Safely Skimmer Feed Chlorine Sticks:
- Use Only Approved Products: Always use the chlorine sticks recommended by Aqua-Tech for skimmer feeding. (Need more? Check out our web store at shop.aqua-tech.ca—we ship across Canada!)
- Never Mix Chemicals: Only place chlorine sticks in the skimmer—never combine with other chemicals or products.
- Keep Skimmer Basket Clean: Regularly check and empty your skimmer basket to keep water flowing and sticks dissolving evenly.
- Store Chemicals Safely: Keep all pool chemicals in their original containers, sealed, and out of reach of children and pets.
