Pool & Spa Chemical Guide
As a retailer of pool and spa maintenance products, I've created this comprehensive guide to help you understand and maintain proper water chemistry for your pool or spa.
Water Balance Essentials
pH Levels (7.2-7.6)
The cornerstone of water chemistry that affects all other aspects of water treatment:
- Too high: Reduces chlorine effectiveness, causes scaling
- Too low: Equipment corrosion, skin/eye irritation
- Regular testing and adjustment crucial for optimal balance
Chlorine (1-3 ppm)
Primary sanitizer for most pools and spas:
- Free chlorine maintains water safety
- Stabilized chlorine provides longer-lasting protection
- Shock treatments eliminate contaminants and chloramines
Alkalinity (80-120 ppm)
Acts as a buffer for pH levels:
- Prevents rapid pH fluctuations
- Protects against corrosion
- Helps prevent scaling issues
Specialized Treatments
Water Clarifiers
Enhances filtration efficiency:
- Coagulates tiny particles
- Improves water clarity
- Reduces filter strain
Algaecides
Prevents and treats algae growth:
- Regular prevention dosing
- Brush-free formulas available
- Compatible with all sanitizing systems
Stabilizers
Protects chlorine from UV degradation:
- Essential for outdoor pools
- Extends chlorine effectiveness
- Reduces chemical consumption
Maintenance Schedule
Daily Tasks
- Check sanitizer levels
- Run filtration system
- Remove visible debris
Weekly Tasks
- Test complete water chemistry
- Balance pH and alkalinity
