Your own pool is more than just a place to cool off – it stands for relaxation, recreation, and enjoyment. To ensure it stays that way, thorough care is essential. Water hygiene, in particular, plays a central role.
The PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner is the ideal solution for reliably eliminating germs, algae, and organic contaminants – easy to use and highly effective. In this post, you will learn everything about the most important uses of chlorine in the pool and why PROFI-Clean is the best choice here.
1. Disinfection: Protection against bacteria, viruses & fungi in the pool water
Numerous microorganisms accumulate in the pool due to external influences such as leaves, rain, insects, or use by people – including potentially harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Without regular disinfection, this can quickly lead to skin irritation, burning eyes, or even infections.
The PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner contains 13% active chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite – a highly effective disinfectant that reliably kills pathogens in the water. It works by forming hypochlorous acid, which penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms and destroys them. This keeps the pool water hygienically clean and safe – for you, your family, and all pool guests.

2. Algae removal: Clear pool instead of green coating
Algae in the pool are not only unsightly, but also a clear sign that the water care has fallen out of balance. They can form particularly quickly in warm weather, with heavy pool use, or with insufficient chlorine content. This becomes visible through greenish water, slippery surfaces, or slimy deposits on the walls.
With the PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner, you effectively combat algae – and not just superficially. The active chlorine compound penetrates the algae cells and destroys them completely. This keeps your pool water clear and algae-free. In cases of heavy infestation, you can perform shock chlorination – a higher amount of chlorine is used to immediately eliminate the algae. Afterwards, the water is adjusted back to normal levels – for long-term clarity.
3. Thorough pool cleaning: Against sweat, sunscreen & dirt
Even if the water looks clean, organic residues accumulate with every use: sweat, skin flakes, sunscreen residues, or leaves from the surroundings. These substances not only strain the water, but also the filter system – and can lead to cloudiness or unpleasant odors.
The PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner acts as an oxidizing agent that breaks down and thus neutralizes these organic contaminants. This keeps your water not only visibly clear, but also odorless and pleasant on the skin. At the same time, the strain on the filter system is reduced, which extends its lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements.
4. Mold removal: Cleanliness outside the pool as well
Not only the water, but the area around the pool should also be cleaned regularly – because damp environments promote the growth of mold, algae, and bacteria on tiles, grout, pool edges, or even on pool covers.
The PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner can also be used as a surface cleaner. Simply apply to the affected areas, let it work briefly, and rinse with clear water. It shows its strength especially with stubborn mold or deposits on tiles. Make sure there is good ventilation when using it and wear gloves – this ensures a clean, hygienic pool environment all around.
5. Application & dosage: How to do it correctly
For the chlorine cleaner to achieve its full effect, the right conditions are crucial. The ideal chlorine content in the water is 0.5 to 1.0 mg/l, and the pH value should be between 7.0 and 7.4. If the pH value is incorrect, the chlorine cannot fully develop its effect – either it is consumed too quickly or is barely active.
Add the PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner either directly into the pool water or via the skimmer system. In acute problems such as algae infestation, a shock chlorination with an increased dose is recommended. Important: Do not use the pool during treatment and keep the filter system running to distribute the active ingredients evenly. Afterwards, regularly check the water values to stay on the safe side.
6. Environment & safety: Responsible handling of chlorine
Even though chlorine is harmless to health when used correctly, you should always handle it carefully. Never use more than necessary – overdosing can not only cause material damage, but also form unwanted byproducts such as chloramines or trihalomethanes, which can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes.
Also avoid using chlorinated water to water plants, as it can harm the environment. Always store the PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner in a child-safe manner, cool and protected from light – preferably in a well-ventilated room. This keeps the product stable and ready for use for a long time.
7. All-in-one convenience with the PROFI-Clean pool package
For particularly easy and effective pool care, PROFI-Clean offers you the practical pool package – perfectly tailored to the most important needs in water treatment. In addition to the powerful chlorine cleaner (13% active), it also contains the liquid pH-Minus pH reducer, with which you can quickly and precisely adjust the pH value of your pool water. Because only at an optimal pH value (between 7.0 and 7.4) can chlorine develop its full disinfecting power.
With this combination package, you ensure hygienically clean water in just a few steps, which not only looks clear, but also feels pleasant on the skin. Whether you are filling your pool for the first time or maintaining it regularly – the PROFI-Clean pool package saves you time, prevents misuse, and gives you back control over your water quality. Ideal for pool owners who do not want to cut corners.
8. Liquid chlorine vs. tablets: The benefits at a glance
Many pool owners use chlorine tablets – but liquid chlorine offers you several crucial advantages in pool care. On the one hand, liquid chlorine, as contained in the PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner, works significantly faster, as it distributes immediately and evenly in the water. This is a major plus, especially in acute problems such as algae or cloudy water.
Unlike tablets, which often contain carrier substances and dissolve slowly, liquid chlorine can be precisely dosed – so you have full control over the chlorine content. In addition, there are no residues or deposits on the pool floor or in the dosing station, which makes cleaning easier. The risk of local overconcentrations, which can occur with slowly dissolving tablets, is also eliminated.
Especially in combination with an automatic dosing system or in pools with a larger water volume, liquid chlorine is the more reliable and professional solution.
Conclusion: Crystal-clear water thanks to PROFI-Clean
With the PROFI-Clean chlorine cleaner, you are choosing a reliable and powerful solution for pool care. Whether for daily water disinfection, combating algae, or cleaning surfaces around the pool – this product impresses with its high effectiveness and easy application. Treat yourself and your guests to carefree swimming fun with hygienically clean water – completely without a green haze, germs, or cloudiness.
