Pool Water Balance – PH
Keeping your pool water properly balanced is one of your most important
assignments as a pool owner.
Many things can throw the water out of balance. How often you use the
pool, rain, sun, wind, algae, dust, debris, circulation, even which sanitizers
you use. The source of fresh water (well, municipal, etc.) will also affect
water balance in a number of ways.
Pool Water Balance – PH
Six factors need to be monitored for their effect on water balance: pH,
total alkalinity, calcium hardness, total dissolved solids, temperature and
cyanuric acid. When all these factors are within acceptable ranges, it is
unlikely that your water will cause corrosion or scale deposits. Correctly
balanced water also provides maximum bather comfort.
Use your test strips daily. Take a water sample to your Authorized
poollife® Dealer monthly for a complete laboratory analysis.
1. pH
Understanding pH is one of the most important aspects of pool
care. Low pH can lead to skin irritation and corrosion of equipment.
High pH can result in cloudy water and contribute to scale formation.
More importantly, the incorrect pH will reduce the effectiveness of
the chlorine in your swimming pool. Remember to check the pH at
least twice a week. The ideal range is between 7.2 and 7.6.
Too Low? Ad pH Plus too High add pH Minus

Q. Can I stop my above ground pool from collapsing or at least limit the damage?
I just checked my pool and the pillow has popped and the snow/ice build up was bringing some of the sides in. I released the cover to help with the pressure. The water inside is frozen. One panel wall is bent alittle and the liner is out, another panel has released itself from the top rail, it’s about two panels down from the first one. Is there anything I can do to save it from collapsing before I can get a pool guy out? Thanks.
A. What to do..
For future reference try something more solid than an air pillow in extreme cold conditions. An Inner tube or even a solid tire. We’ve had customers in Canada use a log of all things, reporting it keeps the cover afloat and it will more lightly compress when the water freezes.
Now, for what to do, if the pool is frozen solid, don’t worry, it won’t get any worse. Disassemble the pool piece by piece
Wrap your pool with rope several times to hold everything together until your pool guy comes. Only do this if it is not frozen solid
Dig out your warranty information and contact your dealer for help in contacting your manufacturer for replacement parts
