Water Care

Water balance is the term used to explain the compatible relationship between PH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness.

The parameters recommended offer the most effective means of achieving quality water using a particular sanitation chemical or process ensuring ultimate swimmer comfort.

Chlorine              2-4 ppm

Total Alkalinity  80-150 ppm

PH                      7-7.6 

Salt                     3500-4500 ppm (Dependent on your type of Chlorinator)

Stabiliser            30-50 ppm (Sunscreen for the pool)

Having the correct water balance will allow you to achieve excellent water quality which is good for the prevention of scale, corrosion and algae forming ensuring ultimate water comfort the bathers and the protection of the pool shell and its fittings. 

Balancing your pool is the term used when you have your pool tested and then add the chemicals required.

Your home test kit is a great guide to keep an eye on your water balance. 

We recommend you visit our shop regularly throughout the warmer weather to get professional chemical analysis of your pool water. And once a month during the winter period to keep track of how your pool is going.
