CHEMICAL BALANCE
It is imperative that correct chemical balance be maintained in your pool and spa water, otherwise
corrosion of your heater may occur.
Corrosion of the heat exchanger voids warranty.
Your
local pool shop specialist or spa retailer can advise correct chemical balance. Your water should
be checked and maintained regularly by a pool water professional. As a guide the following
parameters may be used.
pH
7.6 to 7.8
Total Alkalinity
80 to 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness
150 to 250 ppm
Salinity
4000ppm
max.
Excessive
salt can damage your heater.
You should test your water chemical balance at least on a weekly basis.
Excessive sanitiser can damage your heater. Chlorine should not exceed 3 ppm and bromine
should not exceed 5 ppm. Salt chlorinators, especially when used on spa pools or indoor or
covered pools, can easily produce excessive chlorine levels which will damage the heater
internals.
