About
United Chemical
United Chemical develops and manufactures unique swimming pool products designed to make pool care easy. We’ve been an active member of the pool industry since our founding in 1971.
We’ve always been known as the “maverick” in the pool industry. Rather than follow the status quo, we prefer to do things a better way with better results.
Meet the
Founder
Jock Hamilton
1941 - 2002
Jock Hamilton began in the industry as a pool service technician. Through years of research and experience, he developed the first balancing index for pools – the Hamilton Index. Over the following decades, he revolutionized pool care with his innovative line of swimming pool chemicals.
Jock ran United Chemical as an extension of himself. The culture of United Chemical reflects his core idealogy. We continue to pursue his core mission and values as we build upon what Jock started.
