POOL CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES
To get the best performance out of any of your pool equipment, it is important that you manage
your water chemistry to the ideal swimming levels. This could vary according to your location

get your pool set-up to exactly what is required.
The below chart gives some guidelines to the major water chemistry areas to provide the best
performance and to maximise your equipment life. Should your chemistry fall outside the
suggested ranges, this could be damaging to the equipment and its performance.
