Chemically treating a pool is fairly straightforward. One should always follow the directions on the product label. One of the most important issues is proper chlorine levels. An ideal pH level is between 7 and 7.6, although if the level is between 7.6 to 7.8, it is still satisfactory but less than ideal. Anything above or below that range will be irritating to eyes. An improper chlorine level will also cause damage to the pool. A pH level below 7.0 will result in chlorine loss and be corrosive to metals, while anything above 7.8 will cause the effectiveness of the chlorine to decrease rapidly and damage the heaters as well. When chemically treating a pool, it is always important to remember that outside pools require more attention than inside pools since they are exposed to the elements.

If the pH is too low, one should add the recommended dose of dry alkali daily until correct pH is established. To increase pH to the recommended level, one should add the recommended dose of dry acid daily until correct pH is established. To increase calcium hardness, add calcium chloride at the recommended dose. To decrease calcium harness, replace part of the pool water with fresh water to dilute the calcium. To stabilize chlorine levels add cyanuric acid at a dose of 30 ppm. To reduce chlorine levels, replace part of the pool with fresh water.

For those who run into problems, 1st direct has the solution and products for you. One of the most common problems is that the pool owner is unable to treat the pool daily and so the water is left unattended for a long period of time. This can be treated with the Fi-Buoy filter, which can be programmed so that it runs on a daily timeclock. Another common problem is cloudy water, which can be the result of improper filtration or too high or too low a level of chlorine. The chlorine level itself might be difficult to maintain because of intense sunlight, high water temperature or a build-up of pollution. No matter what difficulties one faces with one’s pool water, 1st direct is there to help.
