PH

7.2-7.6

Range to be between

It is very important to check the pH at least twice a week, preferably daily. A low pH reading can cause damage to equipment and can also cause skin irritation . A high pH reading can cause scale and cloudy water. The ideal range is between 7.2 and 7.6. The chlorine in your swimming pool will not work correctly if the ph level is not balanced.

 When using any chemicals, always follow label directions.

Barson Chemical is the supplier to achieve the right balance for you.

Algaecide

Algae are microscopic plant life that are introduced into pools by rain, wind and leaves. When allowed to multiply, algae consume chlorine and become unsightly. Algae often appear as a slimy green mass or as green, cloudy water. Algae can grow quite rapidly, sometimes appearing overnight. One ounce of water can contain millions of algae cells before they are visible. They can clog filters, and reduce water circulation and effectiveness of pool chemicals. Warm water dramatically enhances the growth of algae.

The best approach to Preventing Algae Growth is a prevention program. Use of a algaecide concentrate on a weekly basis is simple and economical. Once algae is established, large doses of more than one chemical is often necessary to eliminate this stubborn plant life.

 When using any chemicals, always follow label directions.

Sanitizer

Sanitizing pool water kills bacteria that can be harmful to bathers and also aids in the control of algae. You need to regularly check and maintain your sanitizer level because bacteria enter the pool continuously from many sources.

The most commonly used method of sanitizing pools is application of a chlorinating product. These products are available in stabilized and unstabilized forms. Of the two, stabilized chlorinating products are recommended because they contain a built-in shield that helps the chlorine level work longer by protecting it from sunlight burn-off.

The continuous chlorine level should be kept between 1.0-3.0 ppm (parts per million) for proper sanitation.

 When using any chemicals, always follow label directions.

Shock Treatment

 Adding Chlorine To Pool Water In Larger Than Normal Amounts

Shock treating your pool is very important, by adding chlorine to pool water in larger than normal amounts,  it will protect it from organic contaminants and bacteria.  Algae are plants that grow in water and can take over your pool very quickly if your not careful.

 Some products say they are shock treatment, but they're not sanitizers. Do they control algae and kill bacteria? If not, a sanitizer must still be added.

Shock treating should be preformed at opening and closing of your pool, and also weekly during the swimming season. Sun light interferes with how well chlorine can do its job, so the best time to treat your pool is at sunset, weekly, on the same weekday.

When using any chemicals, always follow label directions.

Barson Chemical can help keep contaminants down and leave you with a crystal clear pool.
