Puerto Verde is a Spanish brand that makes natural products for pool water maintenance: a pH+ increaser, a pH- reducer, an alkalinity increaser, and a natural flocculant. All four are of mineral or plant origin and biodegradable, and together they cover the complete chemical maintenance of a pool: stable, clear water that is safe for the whole family.
What products make up Puerto Verde's natural pool maintenance?
Gradually and controllably raises the water's pH to protect swimmers' skin, equipment, and chlorine effectiveness.
View pH+ increaser →Lowers the water's pH with a ready-to-use liquid formula when it spikes above the optimal range and reduces chlorine effectiveness.
View pH- reducer →Stabilizes the water's total alkalinity so that the pH stops rising and falling uncontrollably. It should always be applied before the pH increaser.
View alkalinity increaser →Clumps together suspended particles that cloud the water, leaving it crystal clear in 24-48 hours without altering the pH.
View natural flocculant →The links in this section point to each product's collection — check that the URLs match the actual handles of your store before publishing, especially the one for the pH- reducer.
Which product do I need? Quick comparison by symptom
| What you see in your pool | Recommended product |
|---|---|
| The pH reads below 7.2 | pH+ increaser |
| The pH reads above 7.6 | pH- reducer |
| The pH rises and falls constantly even though you correct it | Alkalinity increaser |
| Total alkalinity below 80 ppm | Alkalinity increaser |
| Cloudy, milky, or unclear water | Natural flocculant |
| Green water after shock treatment with dead algae | Natural flocculant |
| Opening the season with stagnant water | Alkalinity increaser + pH+ or pH- + flocculant |
| Irritation in swimmers' skin or eyes | pH+ increaser, pH- reducer or alkalinity, depending on the test |
Complete natural water maintenance routine
The order of application matters: correcting in the wrong order means you have to repeat the treatment and use more product than necessary.
- Measure the water: total alkalinity, pH, and chlorine, with test strips, a liquid kit, or a digital photometer.
- Adjust the alkalinity first: bring it to the 80–120 ppm range with the alkalinity increaser. It is the step that stabilizes everything else.
- Then adjust the pH: once the alkalinity is in range, correct the pH to 7.2–7.6 with the pH+ increaser if it is low, or with the pH- reducer if it is high.
- If the water is cloudy, apply flocculant: with the pH already in range, use the natural flocculant to leave it crystal clear, always with an active sand or glass filter.
- Measure again: check alkalinity, pH, and chlorine again after each correction before swimming normally.
Why choose Puerto Verde's natural maintenance?
Before buying, check the compatibility of each product with your specific disinfection system on its product sheet: not all our products are suitable for pools with salt chlorinators.
