There are common problems associated with pH levels that are too high or too low. Spas should be maintained within a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8.
Balanced water is a term used to describe the ideal condition of a pool.
In order to determine the pH and disinfectant concentration in your pool water, tests should be conducted regularly with the IQ120 pH meter . Public pools should test their water every day before the pool is opened, then at least once during the morning, afternoon and evening sessions. Testing intervals should be no longer than four hours when the pool is open. Soda ash and sodium bicarbonate are helpful in increasing pH. Liquid muriatic acid works best to lower pH effectively. We recommend the IQ120 pocket-sized pH meter for your pool maintenance needs.
