Water balance
For over five decades, we have passionately devoted ourselves to developing chemical solutions for the professional treatment and maintenance of swimming pool water.
Our history stretches from the 1970s, when we took our first steps by partnering with Capitel Export in Catalonia. At the time, it stood out for producing and marketing chemical and non-chemical products related to the construction and care of swimming pools.
In 1986 we decided to part ways and find our own path, establishing CTX, a company completely engaged in researching and manufacturing chemical products for the comprehensive care of swimming pools. This decision marked the beginning of a stage where investment in research and development became our main pillar.
Over the years, our range of products evolved spectacularly. We started producing chlorinated products and gradually expanded our offering by including pH adjusters, algaecides and cleaners, among others. With countless patents —the result of our ongoing research— and under the CTX brand, we created a comprehensive range of high quality solutions to treat swimming pool water.
Our commitment was not limited to creating innovative products. We had a broader vision from the outset: to educate and train the professional sector in Spain and Europe. Our mission was to empower these professionals to become experts in water care, with the aim of creating more prescribers capable of helping our consumers solve their water treatment problems and teaching them how to correctly maintain and treat their swimming pool water. This approach has become part of our unwavering passion and vocation.
Our commitment to education and progress extended even further. We worked together with the Spanish government, giving educational talks and contributing as experts to the creation of new laws related to the maintenance of swimming pools. Our influence became evident by collaborating in the design of regulations, such as those relating to continuous and automatic control and adjustment, with the aim of raising water quality standards through legislation.
As our company grew, we expanded our borders. Our reach extends to various corners of Europe, and we export our products to North Africa. During the 1990s, we consolidated ourselves as a European benchmark in the chemical industry, thanks to the advice and knowledge we provided to our customers and consumers.
Inquide is currently the group company that manufactures the CTX pro chemicals.
Inquide is a European manufacturer. Our offices, production centres, laboratories and other facilities are located in Europe, thus guaranteeing that all our products meet the European quality standards in terms of manufacturing, marketing, distribution and the maximum respect for the environment. This is evidenced by our certificates. Inquide is a company certified in Environment and Quality assurance.
Today, we look back at our journey with great appreciation and we look forward with great enthusiasm. Our history is a reminder that water is our raison d'être. It gives rise to our devotion to innovation, education and constant improvement in our products in order to provide our consumers with the reassurance that their swimming pool water's maintenance is in the hands of experts.
Our foundations for water treatment and maintenance are based on four steps:
We have a wide range of products that guarantee the execution of these four steps. Furthermore, we have a range of products to solve any type of problem that may arise, a range of cleaning products for an optimal maintenance of all pool elements and a range of winterising products to maintain and treat pool water during winter.
