It is very important to test the pool water and make it regular. If you reached this article from the chlorine smell article, we will talk about the importance of regular testing after the shock effect process mentioned there. If you haven’t read the article, I suggest you read that article before the link above.
You can have your water tested at home or by the company you receive pool maintenance service from. Pool maintenance companies will give you a detailed test result. Other than that, you can do this test yourself at home. While testing at home, we recommend that you perform your test and examine the results within the following information. You can procure the products required for testing from different marketplaces.
Alkalinity: 120-150 ppm. If you have this level of alkalinity, you have the right ratio. If not, you need to test the alkalinity first as the pH will remain constant.
pH: pH values should be between 7.2 and 7.6 for a correct pool.
Calcium hardness: A value between 150 and 250 ppm is suitable.
Stabilizer level: It should be at least 30 ppm and help prevent chlorine loss.
Algae killer: To prevent algae, you should add algae killer to your pool.
Chlorine: A chlorine ratio of approximately 1.5 to 3 ppm will be sufficient.
As a finishing touch, we recommend adding a pool tonic for crystal clear water. It makes the water sparkling. It also provides the removal of phosphates. Since phosphates are a food source of algae and other undesirable pollutants, their removal is very important.
It is also very important for the cleanliness of your pool that you ensure that all users take a shower before entering the pool. For this, it is important to install an outdoor shower.
Your filter quality is also extremely important for the cleanliness of your pool. We recommend that you choose GFS, which will significantly affect both your health and the quality of your water in the selection of filter media you use in your filter. GFS glass filter media will allow you and your loved ones to swim and have fun in cleaner water with its non-harmful structure and long life.
