It’s in the name, pool care made SIMPLE - A true all-in-one solution. Oxidizer, algaecide, clarifier, stain inhibitor, scale inhibitor, and other pool protectors all in ONE Simple Scoop... Pair with chlorine, bromine, UV, ozone, or salt system to complete your routine.
Proactive, not reactive - Traditional pool care tells you to wait until your pool is green or unsafe and then dump a bunch of chemicals in it. Simple Scoop prevents water imbalances from happening in the first place, saving you time and headaches.
Pool opener in a bucket - Simply add a double dose when opening for the season. Say goodbye to expensive and complicated opening kits!
Safe and smooth swimming - Enjoy a gentle swim environment with fewer chemicals, no harsh odors, no irritated skin or eyes, and swimwear that stays fresh.
Lower chlorine consumption - You’ll notice that your pool uses far less chlorine (or alternative sanitizer) when using Simple Scoop — saving you money!
Getting Started: Add a double dose of Simple Scoop right away along with sanitizer! Then, wait 24 hours and your water should be perfect! If your water isn't perfect, reach out to our pool experts for help at help@poolday.com!
Chill Summer Mode: Each week, distribute one scoop for each 5,000 gallons of water directly into your pool; that’s it! Swim safely right away.
Opening and Closing: Distribute two scoops for each 5,000 gallons of water directly into your pool to open or close your pool.
Pair Simple Scoop with a sanitizer (chlorine or an alternative). You will find that using this product will significantly decrease how much of your chosen sanitizer your pool requires.
To get started with Simple Scoop, make sure you start with a balanced pool. You may need to adjust the pH, alkalinity, and/or calcium hardness before beginning your new routine.
Using Simple Scoop weekly, the majority of customers don’t need to add anything else to their pool to keep it clean, clear, and safe. Seriously! That being said, everyone’s pool is different. Due to location, weather, bather load, or baseline water chemistry, some customers occasionally need to make a minor adjustment. However, even for these customers, Simple Scoop drastically cuts back on the frequency of adjustments.
Usually, it takes a pretty extreme weather event or swimmer load to throw things off. The most frequent items that customers add in addition to Simple Scoop are pH increaser, alkalinity increaser and shock. If you want to be prepared, having some of these on hand can’t hurt!
Yes, Simple Scoop is fully compatible with salt systems and many of our customers enjoy using this product with their salt pools! All you need is 1lb (2 scoops) per 10,000 gallons to keep your water crystal clear.
Simply sprinkle a scoop directly into your pool. No pre-mixing required!
It’s compatible with pretty much any type of sanitizer: chlorine, bromine, UV, ozone, mineral systems and salt. The most common pairing for our customers is chlorine tabs. You'll find that your supply of tabs lasts longer when using Simple Scoop.
The only sanitizer this product does not pair well with is biguanide.
Yes, absolutely! Your pool is swim safe for you and your children immediately after putting in Simple Scoop.
In fact, you’ll find that your pool is much healthier (less skin & eye irritation, smoother) because it works proactively. Using Simple Scoop prevents large swings in pool chemistry that often come with a traditional pool care routine.
You’ll need 0.5lbs (1 scoop) of Simple Scoop for every 5,000 gallons of pool water per week. So a 10lb bucket would last a 10,000 gallon pool 10 weeks!
Yes, absolutely. Just apply a double dose of Simple Scoop when opening your pool. After about a day, test and check that your pool is balanced for the three most important levels (alkalinity, pH, calcium hardness).
In some extreme cases (if your pool is very unbalanced), you may require additional doses of shock.
Do the math. Think about all the money you have spent on all the various ancillary chemicals your local pool store tells you to put in your pool. It adds up pretty quickly. Most customers will save money using Simple Scoop. Not to mention your TIME. How much time do you spend acquiring all these various chemicals? The headache of keeping track of everything. Our customers certainly agree:
“Absolutely adore Simple Scoop!!! A professional who helps me with my pool during winter recommended this. Initially, I was skeptical because of the price. However, the following year he suggested it again, and I regret not taking his advice earlier. My spouse mentioned it was the first time opening the pool without any frustration over its clarity. Weekly, I add 2 scoops into the skimmer basket and drop 1 chlorine tablet into the skimmer basket, resulting in perfectly clear water. Considering the cost of test strips, alkalinity adjusters, algae treatments, etc., I ended up saving both money and time compared to when I didn't use Simple Scoop. It's completely worth the investment!”
- Alex J. from Florida (9,000 gallon above ground chlorine pool)
“Last summer, I used Simple Scoop with chlorine tablets for a spotless pool. This year, trying to cut costs with other products turned into a battle with cloudiness, alkalinity, algae, and chlorine levels. I ended up spending more in the long run, not to mention the frustration. This is why I've come back. I use two scoops weekly for my 27' above-ground pool with two chlorine tablets.”
- Chrissy H. from California (13,000 gallon above ground chlorine pool)
“This is my second season with this product. It seems pricey, but the results justify the cost. I haven't had to use algaecide or shock at all. It keeps the balance perfect and the water crystal clear. Just a weekly scoop and I'm set!”
- Rachel A. from Texas (22,000 gallon in-ground chlorine pool)
We haven’t necessarily replaced all the chemicals you usually used, we’ve just combined them into one simple product. This product required years of development to perfect the formula.
Why doesn’t Leslie’s or your local pool store sell something like this? They are making way too much money by selling all the various chemicals they claim you need. And if pool care is this simple, why would you need to come into their store every week? They don’t want you to know that it can be this simple.
Potassium monopersulfate oxidizes water to remove contaminants and protect key chemical levels (chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness).
Chelated copper sulfate kills existing algae and prevents future algae growth.
Concentrated clarifier clears up cloudy water and smooths water so it is gentle for sensitive skin.
Inhibitors protect swimmers and the pool itself from discoloring and other issues.
A double dose of Simple Scoop will replace a cocktail of opening or closing chemicals.

"This is by far the best product I ever purchased for my pool. I’ve been a valued customer for two years and I will never look back to any other pool products. My pool water has never looked better and everything has been balanced to perfection every time. THANK YOU"
"We had two years of an out of control pool. After one week, it just sparkled. We also have not had algae for years. This is NOT a lost leader advertisement. It works!"
"My pool is in ground and we have battled keeping the chemicals balanced for years. Now after using your product all this summer, it has been a great blessing!!! Water never cloudy, I check my chemicals every 3 days and have to shock and no, no cloudy water. Thanks for being a great product!!! I stopped trusting my pool store last summer. 😪 I was constantly spending money 💰. Your product is wonderful!!! When my water goes under 70 degrees, do I have to use your product through the winter, because when my water gets under 65° and stays there and lower, I don't have to shock but once a month. I would think that I don't need it through the winter. We don't cover the pool. It's 18 feet by 36 feet. And I add water through the winter when needed, we'll water, because we are in a moderate drought. I have to use 5 scoops weekly because of the amount of water. Thanks again for being a great product that actually works!!!!"
"Simple scoop lives up to its description my pool has been crystal clear the entire summer of high up in the 90’s temp. 2 scoops of simple scoop and a bag of shock and regular chlorine tablets in the floater. Is the only chemical needed. Highly recommend and will continue to purchase."
"It’s an absolute miracle powder for pools! I’m an above ground pool owner for 18 years now and you name it I’ve been there with different chemicals! I started using your product I want to say 2 years now and I absolutely love it! I have a 27 round and I use 3 scoops a week and my pool is always perfect and crystal clear! I love that it’s shock, clarifier and algicide all in one! I only add my 3 chlorine tablets a week… honestly it’s so wonderful with closing because as your directions say I double the dose before covering for winter and come spring time my water is crystal clear!!! Some people may say your product is expensive at first but anyone can do the math if you were to separately buy products over the season and have to deal with separate chemicals your product by far makes the most sense with very little work and no headaches! Thank you for this product you have literally taken care of the work and I’m able to just enjoy my pool!"
"We love simple scoop. My pool was so clear this year and the stains from the water did not return after we put stain eraser in. The only thing was when we opened the pool and put in double scoop the green lightened but did not turn. We contacted Caudy service and they sent me super shock and that took care of it. My pool has been clear all summer. Now we closed our pool and we did use simple scoop for chemicals in the pool. So let’s see what happens next spring when we open it. 🤞"
"I started using Simple Scoop almost 3 years ago and don’t regret it one bit. I constantly struggled with algae growth on my pool walls no matter what I did. Local pool company also tried and it continued to return. Since the first week of using Simple Scoop, I have not had ANY algae growth and my water is perfect and silky smooth. I tell everyone I know to get this product for their pools. I, for sure, will continue to use this product for as long as I have a pool."
"We love Simple Scoop. It is so easy to use and has made a. big difference in our pool looking good at all times. You won't be disappointed."
"I have been using simple scoop in my 8500 gallons in ground pool since February 2026, what a relief, 2 scoops a week all what it takes to get a clear water lasting you till the next application, no need for any other chemical other than chlorine."
"Won’t sure at first, but after using it in our pools, we had trouble with yellow algae and now since we’ve used your product, we have crystal clear blue pools with no allergy. Thank you very much LA Pool, and Spa."

We are changing the pool care game.
Traditional pool chemical brands sell products with technical sounding names and instructions that are about as easy to interpret as hieroglyphics. You go to your pool store, wait in line to have your water tested, and the next thing you know you’re out a sizeable piece of your paycheck having been sold a whole assortment of products you’re not even sure you need.
Does it have to be that hard? The pool care industry doesn’t want you to know this, but the resounding answer is NO.
We are building a brand that makes it so much easier for the average pool owner to care for their own pool. With easy to understand instructions, top notch customer service and a suite of innovative products, Pool Day is making a splash. Thanks for letting us help you help your pool!
