Balancing Pool Water

Establishing and keeping the correct water balance is important for a number of reasons:

• Chemical efficiency
• Bather comfort
• Protection of pool and plantroom equipment
• Water quality and appearance
• Makes it easier and less time consuming to look after the pool

Some people believe that keeping the right pH is all that is needed to achieve the correct water balance, this isn’t the case and although pH is important there are other factors that also need to be considered.  In the table below we have illustrated the properties that make up water balance and the ideal levels that should be maintained.
