BASIC DICHLOR 5 KG PROGUARD
Pool owners who've been maintaining their own pool for a few years all arrive at the same realisation eventually: the simpler the chemistry, the better the result. Products that do one thing but need careful compensation elsewhere create work. BASIC DICHLOR is pH-neutral, fast-dissolving, and alread

Adding chlorine doesn't throw your pH out. Calcium hypochlorite raises pH after dosing. Lithium hypochlorite lowers it. Dichlor is effectively pH-neutral — it sanitises your pool without creating an immediate need to re-balance. Fewer products. Less work per maintenance session. Less of your Saturday spent testing and compensating.
Your chlorine survives the afternoon sun. The built-in cyanuric acid stabiliser in dichlor protects your free chlorine from UV degradation — critical in Pretoria's December UV conditions where unstabilised chlorine can be fully degraded within 2–4 hours. What you add at 8am is still protecting your pool at 4pm.
Fast-dissolving with no residue on your pool floor. Fully soluble formula — broadcast across the surface and it's active within minutes, with no undissolved granules settling and bleaching your pool finish.
5 kg for a full season without running short. Enough for months of consistent maintenance — so you're not making a special trip to Monument Park every second week when you discover the bag is nearly empty on a Friday afternoon.
Pool owners who've been maintaining their own pool for a few years all arrive at the same realisation eventually: the simpler the chemistry, the better the result. Products that do one thing but need careful compensation elsewhere create work. BASIC DICHLOR is pH-neutral, fast-dissolving, and already UV-stabilised — which means adding it doesn't immediately create three more problems to manage. The pool maintenance routine that actually gets done is the one that's simple. BASIC DICHLOR makes chlorine dosing as straightforward as it should have been all along.
