Owning a pool is one of the best ways to enjoy summer, until maintenance gets in the way. Between keeping the water balanced, managing chemicals, or running out of your products (turning into an unwanted shopping trip), pool care can quickly turn into a time-consuming chore.
That’s why more pool owners are turning to subscription-based maintenance solutions like the OGS Aqua Box, a hassle-free way to ensure your pool stays clean, balanced, and swim-ready all season long!
If you love your pool but not the upkeep, this blog is for you.
Why Consistent Pool Maintenance Matters
Your pool’s water chemistry needs to be in perfect balance to stay safe and enjoyable. When it’s off, you might run into:
- Cloudy or green water (caused by algae and bacteria buildup)
- Irritated skin and eyes (from improper pH and chemical levels)
- Damage to pool equipment (corrosion and scale buildup in pumps, filters, and heaters)
- Higher maintenance costs (fixing problems after they happen rather than preventing them)
Many pool owners struggle with keeping up, but the key to effortless pool care is consistency… which is exactly what the Aqua Box provides.
What is the Aqua Box Subscription?
The OGS Aqua Box is a seasonal subscription service that delivers the exact chemicals you need to maintain your pool, right to your door, every three months. Owning a pool is one of the best ways to enjoy summer, but keeping it clean and safe? That’s a whole different story. No more guessing, no more emergencies – just a simple, automated system that keeps your water crystal clear and perfectly balanced.

What Happens If You Swim in an Unmaintained Pool?
Skipping proper pool maintenance isn’t just bad for your water quality, it can also affect your health.
- Skin & Eye Irritation: Water that’s too acidic or too alkaline can cause:
Itchy, red, or burning eyes
Dry, irritated skin
Rashes or allergic reactions
This happens when pH and chlorine levels are unbalanced, leading to harsh water that irritates your skin and eyes instead of feeling refreshing. - Bacteria & Germ Buildup: Without proper chemical balance, bacteria and harmful microorganisms thrive in pool water. This can lead to:
Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs) like ear infections, diarrhea, and skin infections
Algae growth that turns your pool green and slippery
Unsafe swimming conditions due to the spread of germs - Chlorine Overload: Using too much chlorine to compensate for neglected maintenance can cause:
Strong chlorine odours (a sign of poor chemical balance)
Breathing difficulties (especially for people with asthma or allergies)
Skin dryness and irritation
Proper water maintenance isn’t just about adding chlorine, it’s about keeping everything balanced!
