salt water pool chemistry


There is one point where there seems to be conflicting views in the industry and that is the relationship between FCL and CA. I had my water tested and here are the results. Yes, the chlorine level matters in any pool that uses chlorine as its main sanitation chemical. All other readings are good. So, if you have you chlorine set to run 50 percent of the time, and you run your pump 24 hours a day, then that is 12 operational hours per day put on the cell. I assume this is calcium particles no longer held in solution?The instructions stated the water color would change and to run the filter for 72hrs. While the barium levels were well within the federal drinking water standards, we were surprised at this discovery. If you need a quick dose of chlorine, add shock or liquid bleach.Check your total alkalinity is correct. You can look over River Pools is located in Virginia and manufactures fiberglass pools for distribution throughout North America. Pools with salt systems tend to have a higher pH level. Do I just let aeration raise it?What chemicals and amounts do I need to get these in the ‘ok’ zone?Calcium is too low and so is Ph in my saltwater pool. Even at 50% output for week with my salt at 3200ppm my FC is above 5ppm, what can I do to get this in check, should I lower the output more espically going into summer? The reason this happens is due to a failure in the salt cell. What do I do?Can you provide the results of your latest water test so I know what we are dealing with?I work on 106000 gal Pool salt levels are at 3600-3800 but chlorine levels are low all the time.

If you need advice on balancing your saltwater pool, post your results in the comments section and we’ll do our best to help you get your pool balanced.I’m a retired engineer (EE) with a fair amount of process control experience.

Is this true? Cyanuric acid is a mild acid that helps prevent the breakdown of chlorine due to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. I don’t know the size of your pool or the generator. Salt level is ok. All the sudden my test shows a PH is at 7.6 and my Total Alkalanity is at 75ppm, every other test it was at 100ppm. There is enough salt in the water.Have you recently added acid to the pool? Also my PH is always testing at 8 so we add a quarter gallon muratic acid weekly. That keep it sort of stable but after a day or so, the PH drops again, Check the salt level (5.1pps) but it is all fine.That’s a mystery to me because salt pools usually run high in the pH category.
Interested in your thoughts. This common chemical mistake can also cause milky water.Also, I am very skeptical of “calcium down” chemical additives.

If you haven’t already gotten a pool store water test, that should be your next step.How is everyone getting exact measurements? Then, once they test their levels, their salt PPM is extremely high. We had electric heater but just added a propane unit. Any information on sources would be appreciated.To help point you in the right direction, what specific processes are you interested in measuring?Electronic NaCl monitors actually measure TDS, so if you have hard water an electronic monitor will not give accurate results – is the same true of measuring salt levels using dip sticks? To ensure proper levels, always, always, always test your pool water. If you’ve heard the phrase ‘hard water’, it is simply referring to a high mineral content. We recently had a comprehensive water analysis conducted on both our home drinking water supply and our salt water pool.

They're easy to maintain, keep the water clear, and annually cost less than traditional chlorine.The machine has two primary components: the cell and the control board.The pool water flows through the cell.
I’m not sure what you are washing it with but there is a reason the standard method uses MA, it works.I have a salt water pool for two years and am having trouble balancing the Total Alkalinity, which is often low (40). Your Free Chlorine (FC) reading should be between 1 – 3 ppm.I have a salt water pool in an area of extremely high calcium. I am most concerned for our health and long term life of our equipment. I’d only run the waterfall when it was necessary (like parties) to prevent the spike in pH.Our pool builder continues to tell us that our Chlorine levels do not matter in our Salt water pool.

Now due to the higher CA levels there is a lot a indications that the FCL levels need to be higher – the proposed formula is to put the FCL = 7.5% x CA. I then add muriatic acid to get the pH back down and before you know it my total alkalinity is down and I need to add baking soda. Installation of our fiberglass pools is done through an independent dealer. Salt level is 3300.
