Pool Chemistry
Understanding the key elements of pool water chemistry helps maintain clean, safe and properly balanced water.
Chlorine
Used as a disinfectant to kill bacteria and control algae in pool water so that it is safe for swimming.
pH
Is a measure of whether something is acidic, basic or neutral and it is always measured on a scale 0 to 14.
Total Alkalinity (TA)
Is a measure of alkaline materials in the pool water – carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides.
Calcium Hardness
Is the amount of dissolved calcium in your pool’s water. Water supplies are often termed “SOFT” or “HARD” and this relates to their content of calcium and magnesium salts.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Is the sum of the dissolved compounds – hardness salts, treatment salts and other salts in the water.
Cyanuric Acid
Cyanuric Acid is among the most important chemical. It is important to the pool because its use can help reduce the use of chlorine. Cyanuric Acid, which is also called as stabilizer or conditioner, helps to reduce the rate at which the sun depletes the free chlorine in the water.
Test Permitted Range
Recommended values for maintaining balanced and healthy pool water
