A chemically balanced water is fundamental to avoid problems like frequent pH corrections, metallic part
corrosion or pipe fouling. We recommend to use public water to fill the pool. Tank water can be used as
well, but only in case it has the same characteristic as those of the public water. As a matter of fact, public
water is usually already balanced and suitable to be used in pools. Therefore, we suggest to measure the
pH value at the first filling. The ideal value is between 7 and 8, and it is the standard one to be restored if
the pool is frequently used, or if the new values recorded are different
.
Avoid water with unknown chemical qualities, like water from fire fighting systems, rivers, ponds, wells or
spring water. These kinds of water may contain impurities that will make the initial treatment and ordinary
maintenance difficult and very onerous.
To ensure a longer useful life to the cell, avoid excessively hard water that provokes calcium or
magnesium carbonate fouling. Use waters with a maximum hardness of 30°F.
Water characteristic are not fixed: they vary depending on natural (temperature, evaporation, number of
users, rain, wind, dust, soot) or artificial factors (treatment products). Its balance is quite complex, but you
will need to focus on just few steps to get clean and healthy water in your pool.
