Why pH Plus matters
Maintaining proper pH levels is critical in swimming pools to ensure water clarity, bather comfort, and the effectiveness of sanitisers. pH Plus supports this balance, thereby enhancing the overall swimming experience and protecting equipment from corrosion.
What is pH Plus?
pH Plus is typically made from sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, compounds that dissolve in water to increase the pH. When added to pool water, it reacts with the acids present, reducing acidity and raising the pH to a safe level, generally between 7.2 and 7.8 for swimming pools. It is crucial in ensuring the water is not too acidic, which can cause skin irritation and damage to pool infrastructure. In physical form, pH Plus is usually available as a granular solid or powder that easily dissolves in water. The chemistry of these compounds facilitates their efficacy in balancing pH levels, making them essential in pool maintenance. Proper pH control helps in improving the effectiveness of chlorine, which is commonly used for disinfection in swimming pools.
