3.4 Water Balance and Chemistry Recommendations
Water balance is the relationship between different chemical measurements in your pool water.
A pool that is balanced has proper levels of pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness.
Balanced water can also be defined as water that is not corrosive or scaling. Water that is not
balanced can damage equipment and pool surfaces. See "Basic Water Chemistry" on page 43.
Proper water chemistry levels are essential to maintain safe and consistent swimming pool
operation. Sanitizers are used to destroy harmful or otherwise objectionable organisms.
Stabilizer is used to prevent unnecessary loss of chlorine to sunlight. Salt is used by the Pool
Pilot
®
to generate chlorine sanitizer.
