Problem with your pool's pH? Solutions!

The correct pH level of your pool is one of the essential conditions for enjoying clear, healthy and high-quality water throughout the summer. In the event of negligence or incorrect dosage of maintenance products, the water can quickly become acidic , or on the contrary become basic/alkaline, or neutral . In order to know the pH level of your pool , you can measure it using a pH tester.

Regulate the pH of your pool

Please note that the pH value of an ideal swimming pool is between 7.0 and 7.6 depending on the quality of the water. Therefore, a swimming pool pH that would be between 0 and 7 indicates acidity, while values greater than 7 indicate alkalinity, in other words basic water. A balanced swimming pool pH helps maintain better quality water for longer. It helps limit the proliferation of bacteria in your pool and helps keep equipment such as the fixings, the coating of your shell pool, or the filtration system in better condition. Finally, by adopting a swimming pool pH at the correct value, you greatly improve swimming comfort.

Problem of pH too high in your swimming pool

If your pool's pH level is too high , it means your water is too soft and
you need to rebalance it by adding pH min (pH reducer).

Problem of pH too low in your swimming pool

If, on the other hand, you want to correct the water and restore the pH level of your pool to a correct level, you will need to use an alkalinity increaser sold in a specialist store. This will have the effect of raising the pH of your pool and therefore making the pH level of your pool more neutral.

So above all, don't forget that a regulated pH is essential for maintaining a healthy pool. This will help prevent the development of algae, micro-organisms and dirt, so take care of your pool!
