Plus Equals More With Aqua Chem® Pool Care

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 04, 2008 – Aqua Chem, the pool care brand known as Simply Smarter Pool Care™, has recently launched a new microsite, http://www.plusequalsmore.com, to familiarize pool owners with its line of Plus products, which include 3” chlorine tablets, shock and algaecide.  The site also links to Aqua Chem’s Online Water Analysis tool, which provides a pool water analysis with product recommendations, application instructions and a shopping list for needed products.

Consumers who visit http://www.plusequalsmore.com will find a forum for sharing stories and a message board for visitors to post pool cleaning hints and tips.  The site also includes information on the Plus product line:
•   3” Tablets Plus® - kills bacteria and controls algae.  Also prevents corrosion and metal staining, reduces scale formation, softens water and has a built-in sunlight protector.  
•   Shock Plus® – an oxidizer, buffer, flocculent and clarifier, all in one.
•   Algaecide Plus®– kills and controls black, green and mustard algae.  Non-foaming with results in 24 hours.  

In addition, Aqua Chem’s Online Water Analysis takes the guesswork out of pool care.  With a pool water sample, a simple test strip and the help of this innovative online tool, pool owners have a customized care system at their fingertips.  

“A new pool season has arrived, and pool owners are anticipating all of the backyard parties and barbecues they want to have with friends and family, not all the time they want to spend cleaning their pool,” said Melissa Hickman, Aqua Chem’s brand director.  “Our value-added Plus line makes maintaining crystal clear water simpler than ever, so our customers can spend more time enjoying their pool and less time maintaining it.”
