Expert Pool Maintenance Tips

Your Pool Service Boca Raton specialist will tell you how to maintain a proper pH balance in your pool water. You can start by testing the pool water pH and total alkalinity on a regular basis. This is because the pH level of the water and its alkalinity are closely linked together. As you start to work with pool maintenance on your own you will learn how the products that affect the pool water’s pH levels also influence its total alkalinity.

Ideally you need to get the pH levels of the water tested every other day while it will be better if you get the total alkalinity tested every month. Your Pool Maintenance Boca Raton team will educate you how to maintain the ideal pH balance of the water which should be kept in a 7.2–7.6 parts per million range. When it comes to managing the total alkalinity of the water, test for it when the pH level is in the optimal range.

It shows the resistance of the water to changes in its pH. If you have a plaster swimming pool, the ideal range to aim for is 80–120 parts ppm. If you own a vinyl pool or a painted or fiberglass pool, you should aim for 125–150 ppm.

There are other factors as well that affect the balance of the water and they are its hardness and metal content. Both of these factors can be controlled by metal and calcium eliminator products such as:

· Alkalinity booster that can be used to correct total alkalinity if it lies below the required range
· pH boosters can be used to correct pH level that is below the ideal range
· pH controllers can be used to correct total alkalinity as well as pH levels that are above the ideal range

According to your Pool Maintenance Boca Raton specialist it is better to test free chlorine every other day, which is the most active chlorine in your swimming pool water. You should try to maintain it at an ideal range of 1 to 3 ppm. Also, it is better to test the chlorine stabilizer level before you begin the session and in the middle of it as well. In case you decide to use chlorinating tablets the ideal chlorine stabilizer level should be 30 to 50 ppm. In case of liquid it should be 75 to 90 ppm.

Short-Term And Long-Term Chlorination
In case you start up your pool for the very first time you can use chlorinating liquid or all-in-one chlorinating granules as a sanitizer (short-term). Before you add any of that just be sure that the water is balanced first.
To achieve long-term chlorination you can add:
· Slow dissolving chlorinating tablets
· Fast dissolving granules
· Pre-filled floating chlorinators
