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
