| How do I know how many gallons of water are in my pool? | |||
To determine the total
gallons of your pool, follow these simple equations:
|
|||
| Why is controlling my pool’s pH so important ? | |||
| ANS: pH is the measure of
alkalinity or acidity in your pool. Pools with unbalanced pH levels are un- comfortable for bathers and can cause eye irritations, skin discomfort, and hair and bathing suit bleaching. Too much acidity in a pool is corrosive to metal fixtures. Too much alkalinity in a pool causes “scales” to adhere to metal fixtures and reduces the effectiveness of chlorine. In addition, pH levels out of the accepted range renders your sanitizer to be less effective. |

| What are the acceptable ranges for pool water? | |||
| Chlorine (free) -
1.0 to 1.5 ppm Combined chlorine - < 0.5 ppm Bromine (spa) - 2.5 - 4.0 ppm pH: - 7.4 to 7.6 Total alkalinity: - 120 to 150 ppm Calcium hardness: - 120 - 150 ppm (vinyl) 250 ppm (gunite) Cyanuric acid (chlorine stabilizer): - 40 - 60 ppm Iron and copper: - "0" ppm Total Hardness: - < 2000 ppm |
