Water balancing will ensure prime efficiency of all your pool treatment chemicals as most are designed for optimal performance at pH 7 - 7.4. Saving you money and time by ensuring you are getting the most from your chemicals.

The balance of your water is first and foremost a question of correctly adjusting the pH. The pH level is too often neglected but it is essential in easily avoiding a number of common problems: eye and skin irritation, cloudy water or the development of algae.

The pH defines the acid or alkaline nature of the water. It runs on a scale from 0 to 14, bearing in mind that pure water is equal to 7.0. The recommended pH value for swimming pool water is between 7.0 and 7.4.

The TAC offers information about the level of bicarbonates and carbonates. The measurement is expressed in °f or mg/l and the “ideal” value is generally located between 8 and 14°f (80 and 140 mg/l)

The TH offers information about the level of calcium and magnesium. Similarly to the TAC, the TH is expressed in °f or mg/l and the value is generally located between 15 and 25° (150 and 250 mg/l)

HTH Alkanal 5kg Alkalinity Increaser

If the TA (Total Alkalinity) of your pool/spa water is too low - less than 80mg/l - the pH of the water is likely to have significant variations and can be unstable. This is referred to as pH 'Bounce'. Having the correct total alkalinity levels is important as this will work as a buffer and protect the pool water from pH fluctuations.

It is recommended to check and analyse the TA at the start of the season and adjust as necessary. HTH Alkanal will quickly raise the total alkalinity levels in your swimming pool.
