It is very important to manage your Sanitizer (chlorine/ bromine) and Alkalinity & pH by testing your water and applying chemicals to adjust to the recommended range. Alkaline & pH imbalance is the #1 cause of damage to liners and equipment. Lack of sanitizer is the main reason for Algae. We offer water testing service by using computerized software to accurately test water and provide you with a print out and recommendations. Normal ranges are:
- Total Alkalinity 80 – 120 ppm
- pH 7.2 – 7.8
- Sanitizer Level 1 – 3 ppm
Most chemical dosage is calculated by gallons of pool water being treated.
