Pool Chemistry: Fighting Back Against Nature
Why WE FOCUS SO MUCH ON Pool chemistRY
EVERYTHING IS ATTACKING ALL AT ONCE!
The list of enemies attacking your pool water is long.
- Humans. Microorganisms from humans are more than plentiful. 38,000 from clearing your nose. 100 million from spitting. A person can shed 2 pints of perspiration in a pool in an afternoon. Not to mention the suntan lotion we all wear.
- Weather. Sunlight breaks down chlorine as fast as 20 minutes. Rain picks up air pollution. Evaporation picks up clean water from your pool but leaves all the contaminants.
- Organic matter. Leaves, sticks, and grass clippings are quick to change the water balance.
- Animals and insects. A dog can be the equivalent of up to 50 people swimming in your pool.
CHEMISTRY = BALANCE = A CLEAN AND SAFE POOL
Instead of just a quick brushing and pouring a bit of chlorine, we are laser focused on fighting back against these natural enemies with chemistry to create proper water balance. Optimizing the following factors with the best quality chemicals, in the correct amounts, and in the correct sequence is critical.
- Total Hardness
- Total Alkalinity
- pH
- Free and Total Chlorine
- Cyanuric Acid
- Total Dissolved Solids
- Clarity
- Phosphates
