Swimming Pool Chemical Suppliers in Namibia

Pool care built for Namibian conditions — intense UV that burns off chlorine, hard borehole fill water, and pools that run twelve months a year. Swachem stocks its own Pure Pools chlorine alongside HTH dry chlorine and pills, swimming pool acid for pH correction, bromine tabs, pool-grade hydrogen peroxide, scale remover and the Poolcoat range for renovating the shell itself. Lodges, municipal pools, schools and homeowners buy the same professional products the pool-service trade uses.

Swimming Pool Chemicals: your questions answered

Why does my pool lose chlorine so fast in summer, and what helps?

Namibian UV is the culprit — unstabilised chlorine can halve in a few sunny hours. Run stabilised chlorine (the HTH pills are slow-dissolving and better protected than granules broadcast in the morning), dose in the evening rather than at noon, and keep pH at 7.2–7.6 so the chlorine you do have stays active. Lodges with heavy bather loads often add a weekly shock dose on changeover day. If cyanuric acid has crept very high from years of stabilised product, a partial drain-and-refill resets it.

My fill water is hard borehole water — how do I stop white scale on the waterline?

Hard fill water is the standard Namibian pool problem: calcium plates out on tiles, weirs and heater elements as white crust. Keep pH from drifting high (that is what the 5-litre swimming pool acid is for), and dissolve existing crust with our Scale Remover, which the catalogue lists exactly for calcium stains and flakes. On very hard boreholes, ask us about sequestrants from the water-treatment range that hold calcium in solution — cheaper than acid-washing the shell every second season.

What is the difference between Pure Pools chlorine and HTH?

Pure Pools is Swachem’s own pool-care brand — a 10 kg chlorine pack offering trade quality at a sharper price — while HTH is the internationally known calcium hypochlorite in 25 kg dry chlorine and 200 g pills. Both sanitise properly; the choice is usually pack size and budget. A homeowner or small guesthouse does well on Pure Pools 10 kg; pool-service companies and big lodge pools running daily dosing tend to buy HTH 25 kg drums for economy per kilogram.

Can I fix a cracked or faded pool shell with products from the same shop?

Yes — that is the point of having pools and composites under one roof. Poolcoat 73 in Pool Blue, White, Cape Grey, Mid Grey and Black recoats a chalked or patched shell; NCS polyester resin, chopped strand mat and talc filler handle the structural repair beneath; and swimming pool acid etches the old surface for adhesion. The counter can put the whole renovation kit together, including rollers and acetone for clean-up, against one quote.
