Essential Pool Chemistry for Family Safe Chemicals
Maintaining the correct water chemistry is crucial for a healthy and safe pool. Our technicians are experts in balancing your water, using precise measurements and high-quality family-safe chemicals. We consistently monitor and adjust key parameters:
- pH Balance: This measures your water's acidity or alkalinity. Keeping it within the ideal range (7.4-7.6) prevents eye and skin irritation, protects pool equipment, and ensures chlorine effectiveness.
- Alkalinity: Total Alkalinity acts as a buffer for pH, helping to prevent rapid fluctuations. We ensure it's at the correct level to stabilize your water chemistry.
- Calcium Hardness: This measures the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium. Too low, and your plaster can etch; too high, and you might see scaling. We keep it balanced for longevity.
- Chlorine Levels: We maintain optimal sanitizer levels to kill bacteria and algae, ensuring your water is clean and clear. Sometimes, we perform superchlorination, also known as shocking, to rapidly eliminate contaminants.
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): We monitor TDS to ensure water doesn't become oversaturated with dissolved substances, which can reduce chemical effectiveness over time.
