For more than 40 years, I have built my career around chemistry and water testing, starting as a clinical chemist, where precision blood testing leads to better understanding what’s wrong. That eventually led me to bring the same scientific approach to water chemistry, developing water-testing products designed to help pool professionals and homeowners better understand their pool water. 

After decades of developing ways to test the water, I began looking at pool maintenance from a different perspective. What if correcting pool-water chemistry could be just as simple as testing it? That question led me to a new approach: pre-measured pool-maintenance tablets. 

Instead of the nuance of measuring powders, pouring liquids, or trying to determine how much chemical to add, pool tablets offer a simpler path with a convenient, measured dose of chemistry in an easy-to-use tablet. We rely on easy-to-use tablets in ordinary day-to-day life, so why not bring them into water quality as well? The idea first took shape with Swim Check Fix^® Phosphate Removing Tablets, which established the concept of incorporating measured chemistry into a pool's regular maintenance routine. 

But hey, I didn't stop there. I began asking what other pool-water adjustments could be made easier with pre-measured tablets. That question became the foundation for the Swim Check Fix^® Tablet Family. 

One Simple Concept, and a Growing Family of Pool-Care Products 

Today, the Swim Check Fix^® family includes pre-measured tablets designed for several aspects of pool-water maintenance, including pH, alkalinity, calcium, stabilizer, borate, and phosphate management. My goal across the family has remained the same: no powders to measure, no liquids to pour, and less unnecessary guesswork for pool professionals. 

Each product is designed around a specific water-chemistry need, giving pool owners and professionals a convenient way to make measured corrections as part of a regular maintenance routine. 

The family includes Swim Check Fix^® Tri-Guard with Clarifier, Swim Check Fix^® pH Minus, Swim Check Fix^® Stabilizer, Swim Check Fix^® Calcium Plus, Swim Check Fix^® Alkalinity Plus, Swim Check Fix^® pH Plus, and Swim Check Fix^® Borate. Together, these products bring my decades of experience in chemistry and water testing into a new approach to advance pool care for all. 

Preventive Pool Maintenance 

To conclude, my Swim Check Fix^® philosophy is built around a straightforward maintenance routine: test the water, record the results, make appropriate corrections, allow the water to circulate, and then retest. The purpose is not to replace regular testing or essential pool sanitation, but to make routine chemical adjustments more convenient and precise.  

Pre-measured tablets help reduce the guesswork that comes with handling loose powders and liquids. That allows pool professionals and owners to focus on the condition of their water and the corrections it needs, rather than repeatedly measuring different forms of chemicals.
