Experience the difference of a pool system that prioritizes swimmer comfort without sacrificing water safety. Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat (Step 1) is the core component of the world’s #1 non-chlorine pool care system. Designed to provide a more consistent, stable, and enjoyable swimming environment, it eliminates the need for traditional chlorine and salt systems.
Why Choose Baquacil Step 1?
Unlike chlorine, which dissipates rapidly under the hot summer sun and creates irritating byproducts (chloramines), Baquacil is chemically stable. This means your sanitizer stays in the water longer, working harder to keep your pool safe and clear with less maintenance.
Key Benefits:
- Irritation-Free Swimming: Say goodbye to red eyes, itchy skin, and the harsh chemical smell of chlorine. Baquacil is gentle on hair, skin, and eyes.
- Silky Water Texture: Swimmers will immediately notice the "silky" feel of the water, providing a luxury resort experience in your own backyard.
- UV Stable Formula: Chlorine is weakened by sunlight, but Baquacil is not. It remains effective even during the hottest days of the year, reducing the need for constant testing and re-dosing.
- Protects Your Equipment: The non-corrosive formula is gentler on pool liners, heaters, and ladders compared to high-acid chlorine treatments.
- Dual-Action Performance: Not only does it effectively kill bacteria, but the Algistat properties also work to prevent the growth of various types of pool algae.

I’ve been very happy with all the Baquacil products. My above ground pool is situated under oak trees, but the water stays clean and clear with Bacquacil. I’m also very happy with the service I’ve received from National Discount Pool Supply which still has the lowest prices of Bacquacil suppliers.

I have been using Baquacil Oxidizer, Baquacil, and Algaecide for years.
Easier on skin and eyes, once I learned how to use, just about once a week application. Based on rainfall, water is always crystal clear! I have told many friends, they have
switched! Easier maintenance than Chlorine!

I switched to the 123 system from chlorine products... I was spending a lot for chlorine products,,and still getting algae and cloudy water. First full start with the Baquacil this year, crystal clear water, little maintenance dose...

EXCELLENT! We have been long time users of Baquacil for 42 Years. We love all the products and the ease of using this great product. All of our friends who used chlorine have replaced their vinyl liners in 5-6 years, we on the other hand replaced our liner after 35 years. That’s because this product won’t destroy your liner,or bleach them out.
I must say it’s a pleasure to buy our Baquacil products from National Discount Pools. I get my order when promised and also get emails about delivery with tracking and receive points for purchase.
The Customer Service is Wonderful! 10 STARS

We have been purchasing chemicals from this company for years. Shipping is always fast and they always have what we need in stock. Recently we placed an order for some mid-summer chemicals. The UPS tracker said they were being delivered, but we never received them. My husband called the company to get help locating them. Teresa was incredibly helpful. She found out they’d been damaged in shipment, immediately sent a replacement order out to us, and kept us in the loop as to when we should be receiving it. I cannot say enough nice things about this business.

Been buying pool supplies for a few years. Much cheaper than at our pool store
D
National pool supply had the best price, but unfortunately the product has more than doubled in price. Baquacil has almost become to expensive to use. Suggest looking into other, less expensive brands.

I’ve used Baquacil for 24 years now. Expensive but keeps pool clean and clear.
