Pool Chemistry

Collection of pool cleaning supplies, including containers, test kits, and filters, on a blue tiled background.

Water quality is a lot more complicated than you think. We do Water chemical and quality testing at each visit with Taylor test kit chemical testing and Photometer testing. We Keep pool water in proper balance According to the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) Keeping your pool as clean and non-corrosive/Scaling as we can. We also have solutions for pools that are problematic with their chemistry, We offer Blue Ray XL, Borate Balancing & ORP Balancing for high end pools or Commercial Pools s

The primary parameters tested include pH, alkalinity, phosphates, CYA Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), and Oxidation-Reduction Potential ORP

Maintaining proper water chemistry in your pool is essential for preventing corrosion of metal components, scaling on surfaces, and the buildup of harmful bacteria or algae. Balanced pH and alkalinity levels keep the water comfortable for swimmers, while controlling phosphates helps prevent algae growth. The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) ensures that the water is neither too corrosive nor too scale-forming, protecting pool surfaces and equipment. Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) measures the effectiveness of sanitizers like chlorine, ensuring the water remains clean and safe. Regular testing and adjustments help extend the lifespan of your pool, reduce maintenance costs, and create a consistently enjoyable swimming environment.

PH: 7.4 - 7.6 (Keeps water comfortable and ensures sanitizer effectiveness)

Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm (Helps stabilize pH and prevent fluctuations)

Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm (Prevents scaling and corrosion of pool surfaces)

Chlorine (Free Available): 1 - 3 ppm (Ensures proper sanitation and prevents bacteria growth)

Bromine (if used instead of chlorine): 3 - 5 ppm (Alternative sanitizer for hot tubs and pools)

Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer): 30 - 50 ppm (Protects chlorine from sunlight degradation)

Phosphates: Below 200 ppb (High levels promote algae growth)

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Below 1500 ppm (Excessive levels can reduce water quality and sanitizer efficiency)

Langelier Saturation Index (LSI): -0.3 to +0.3 (Indicates water balance, preventing corrosion or scale)

Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP): 650 - 750 mV (Measures sanitizer effectiveness, ensuring water is properly disinfected)

Every Pool is different with different environments so it’s our job to figure out what variables work best for your pool setup to maintain proper chemistry with less fluctuation
