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)

> Sodium carbonate

> To lower the pH by 0.2, use 150 grams of product per 10,000 litres of pool water

> Can cause serious eye damage

> Sprinkle product directly into the pool (ensure no bathers) with the filtration running

> Avoid inhaling dust blown by the wind

> Product may take time to dissolve, poses no risk to the pool surfaces

> Do not mix with other products

> Never dissolve before use

> Leave the filtration running and re-check the pH levels after 24 hours - re-dose if required
