Maui Pool Cleaning

First part of this section we will go over easy and basic pool chemical testing, although before you can test the water of your pool please make sure your equipment is operating properly.

1. Before you take a reading let the pool equipment run for 24 hours before testing, this is to ensure that the pool water is mixed up and you will not get a false reading. When taking readings with your test kit make sure you go as deep as 1 foot under the surface, also to ensure you get the correct reading. This chart should help you in the process,

if you can please keep the chemicals in this range, it is not only a health factor but the chemicals will also effect your equipment, having to low of pH can cause your seals to weaken over time costing you more money in the future. Although the water in Hawaii is at 8.0 pH you will probably find your self using more acid then anything to keep the pH where you want it. Remember to keep all the chemicals balanced, having to much of one and not enough will cause you to waste chemicals, you will find your self adding a lot of chlorine or acid to make up for the problem. By testing your water at least three times per week you will begin to understand how bather load, weather (rain and sun) and chemical application affect your pool’s water. By regularly testing pH and sanitizer levels, you will ensure crystal clear water all season long.
