Today, we’re going to tell you how to balance out your pool chemicals.
If you’re a pool owner, then it’s important to know how to properly take care of your swimming pool. After all, swimming pools are huge investments, so you want to get as much use and enjoyment out of them as possible. One big part of pool maintenance is to keep your pool chemicals balanced. Today, we’re going to tell you how to balance out your pool chemicals.
Get Your Pool Ready for Testing
Before balancing your pool chemicals, you need to prep the water for testing. Get debris out of the water, make sure that the water levels are optimal, and get your pool pump running if it isn’t already. You also want to assess the volume of the pool. The size of your pool determines the ratio of chemicals that you need to add to the water.
Test Your Pool Water
Before you can know how to balance your pool chemicals, you have to know the current chemistry of your pool water. That’s why you should test your pool water with a home pool water test. This test should be done either two or three times per week.
After you’ve done this for about a month, you can take a sample of pool water and bring it to your local pool company for analysis. Knowing the current chemistry of your pool’s water will help when performing the actual balancing process.
Balance the Water in Your Pool
When you’re getting your pool chemicals balanced, those chemicals need to be added in the right order. This is in part because some chemicals must be given time to circulate before you’re able to integrate other pool chemicals into the water. Without this waiting period, it’s possible to create a chemical reaction that’s hazardous to people and the pool itself.
Always follow product labels to be sure that you’re handling them correctly. This will stop you from overdosing your pool. Also, while adding pool chemicals to the water, you should wear safety equipment, like gloves and safety goggles. Lastly, you can always consult a pool maintenance company for advice if there are any parts of the balancing process that make you feel uncertain.
