The pH needs to be at an appropriate level, from 7.4-7.6, to allow the chlorine to dissolve properly. This is necessary to kill any bacteria or germs that are present in the pool.
If the water balance is off in your pool, it can be very irritating to the eyes and to the skin. Making sure it is neither too acidic or alkaline will give your swimmers a pleasant and comfortable experience.
The quality of the water in the pool can greatly affect and even corrode liners, ladders, pumps and rails. Keeping a balanced pH will lengthen the life of your pool and save you money on costly repairs or replacements.
Owning a swimming pool is lots of fun, but it is necessary to maintain a balanced pH for safety, comfort and to keep it in good shape. For more valuable information on
