Balance is one of the most
crucial steps in proper pool care, for when the pool chemistry
is balanced then care is a breeze. Balance factors in pH ,
Calcium Hardness and total alkalinity
The following information is
applicable to above ground pools and portable pools
|
Test |
Frequency of Test |
Best results Range |
|
Alkalinity |
monthly |
125-150 ppm* |
|
Calcium Hardness |
bi-monthly |
175-225 ppm* |
|
pH |
twice a week |
7.2-7.6 |
Correct Levels Ensure:
Effectiveness of bacteria
killing chemicals
Chemical build ups or
corrosions will not effect vital pool parts
Skin and eye irritations will
be at a minimum
If pH is low add a pH Plus
Product Like Pool Life Plus
If pH is High add a pH Minus
Product Like Pool Life Minus
If Calcium is low add a water
hardener agent
if Calcium is High add a
sequestering agent
If Alkalinity is Too high, add
an Alkalinity Decreaser
If
Alkalinity is Too low, add an Alkalinity Increaser
