Pool Water Balance Products
All swimming pools, including above ground pools, will require the water to be regularly monitored and treated using pool chemicals to maintain water quality. Water balance pool chemical products are amongst the most important of all pool chemicals, as they help control the pool water pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness etc.
Water balance products
Correct water balance provides the ideal conditions for bather comfort, plant protection and best value use of disinfectants. Within the Sunspot range are key products to attain or maintain ideal conditions as per the chart below. Products are available to raise or lower pH and total alkalinity, and to raise (only) calcium hardness and Cyanuric levels. Where Calcium levels exceed the ideal reading, stain and scale inhibitors can prevent calcium and scale deposits. However, situations of high Cyanuric Acid and/or TDS are generally reduced through (partial) water replacement.
| Test Parameter | Ideal Reading | Products to use |
| pH | 7.5 | Raise using pH PLUS Lower using pH MINUS |
| Total Alkalinity | 80 - 150 ppm | Raise using TA PLUS Lower using TA MINUS |
| Calcium Hardness | 175 - 275 ppm | Raise using HARDNESS PLUS |
| Stabiliser / Cyanuric acid | 60 - 100 ppm | Raise using CHLORINE STABILISER |
| Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) |
1500 ppm max | (be aware of maximum ceiling - no minimum) |
