Water Chemistry Problems?

Keeping your water in balance and properly filtered is very important, for swimmer safety and to protect your investment.Pool and spa water chemistry doesn't have to be difficult and time consuming. The key is to stay on top of it! TEST often to ensure you're ahead of any levels that are out of range. It doesn't matter the size of the pool or any body of water, the same balance levels and chemicals are required to keep it clean. What affects the water? EVERYTHING that enters your pool's water affects its balance such as: swimmers, rain, pollution, pets, UV rays from the sun, fertilizers from your yard, suntan lotions, anything you can think of will affect the water's chemistry. 

Believe it or not every pool each season will behave differently and creates it's own demand for different chemicals. YES, that's right your pool will not need the same chemicals this year as it did last year. Also your neighbor's pool will need something completely different than what your pool needs, even though they are in the same environment. 


Now you must be asking yourself what are the levels I should be keeping my pool at? Well here is what we recommend.
Chlorine
Total:                 1.0ppm-3.0ppm
Free:                  1.0ppm-3.0ppm
Ph                      7.2-7.8
Total Alkalinity     100ppm-150ppm
Cyanuric Acid       30-80ppm

Always make sure that you don't have any calcium, Copper, and Iron.
