The Importance of a Balanced Pool
One of the most crucial steps of pool maintenance is water balance. Understanding water balances can be one the most confusing processes of pool maintenance. Dannys Pools offers tips and services to help keeping your pool healthy and balanced.
Key Aspects
Safety
If you own a salt based pool that produces chlorine or a chlorine based tablet pool, then you pH needs to be perfectly balanced. If your pool water is not levelled correctly, then your chlorine sanitiser won’t be working at it’s best to kill germs and bacteria.
Comfort
Your water balance is crucial and needs to be correct or it will affect your skin and eyes. The pH should be not too acidic nor basic in order for you to keel comfortable in your swimming pool.
Corrosion
Having a imbalanced pool can be corrosive to the lining, hand railing and other equipment in your pool such as the pump.
Keeping your pH levels within the correct range is crucial for keeping your equipment and swimming pool intact. pH refers to the acidity or baseness of your pool water. A proper pH level is around 7.4 to 7.6 on a pH test kit’s numeric scale.
Calcium is another essential element for your pool. Having the incorrect amount of calcium can cause problems. If there is too little, your plaster could erode and too much could make your water cloudy.
Stabilizer helps keep and retain your chlorine in your pool longer. When your stabiliser level is low, you will find you are using a lot more chlorine.
