Winterize with ‘Pooltec’

Pooltec Fall-Winter®, an EasyCare® product from McGrayel Company, of Fresno, Calif., is an all-season algaecide, water clarifier and non-chlorine treatment that protects covered, mesh and even uncovered pools from fall to spring.

Pooltec Fall-Winter strongly sequesters iron, copper and manganese metals, and will not break down scalestain inhibitors. The product works with little or no chlorine or salt cell usage, and is not affected by heat, sunlight or evaporation.

Pooltec Fall-Winter treatment, which outlasts winterizing kits, requires only one or two bottles for most pools to keep water clear and algae free, giving customers the assurance that the pool will be clean at spring opening.

For more information, contact McGrayel Company, Dept. SI, 5361 S. Villa Ave., Fresno, CA 93725. Telephone 800-289-7660. Visit the company online at www.easycarewater.com.
