Pool Chemicals: pH Reducer
Maintaining the chemical balance of pool water is fundamental for keeping it clean and safe for health. Periodic maintenance and the addition of health-conscious chemicals are essential.
Importance of pH Value
The normal pH value should be in the range of 7.2 to 7.6. At this range, 70% of chlorine activity is maintained. When the pH rises to 8.2, activity drops to just 15%.
Benefits of correct pH levels:
- No eye irritation
- No adverse effects on human health
- Chlorine works effectively
Problems with high pH:
- Limescale buildup
- Dull water appearance
- Turbidity
Problems with low pH:
- Eye, nose and skin conditions
- Corrosion of metal components
- Skin staining
How to Balance pH?
Powder pH Reducer (Sodium Bisulfate): Use 300 grams to 1.2 kg per 100 m³ of water.
Liquid pH Reducer (Acid-Based): Use 300 milliliters to 1.2 liters per 100 m³ of water.
