I have difficulty in maintaining proper pH in my pool, what is the problem?
As was mentioned with previous questions, it is very critical to maintain a proper pH in your pool. Problems with improper pH would be, eye and skin irritation, corrosive conditions, scale forming, water clarity, or excessive use of sanitizers. Many factors change the condition of your pool water, however the most critical factor to maintain proper pH is “alkalinity.” Total alkalinkity should be kept at 125-150PPM to prevent what is called pH bounce. Testing for this normally done by pool professionals. It is recommended that you bring a water sample to your local pool dealer for this testing. They can advise you of what is needed to properly balance your water.
