Water Balance

In order for chlorine to work effectively it is very important to make sure that the pool water is correctly balanced.

• Calcium hardness

If the pool water pH is too low it can cause eye irritation and corrosion to pool fittings. High pH is a common cause of water cloudy water, and can cause the chlorine to be less effective. Some skin irritation can also occur.
