Swimming pool and Spa water parameters, like chlorine and pH need to be monitored daily. Even though chlorine is used in pools and spas to disinfect water, its effectiveness actually depends on the pH value. If both of these parameters are not constantly checked concentration levels could become low, and a growth of microorganisms dangerous to health can occur. On the other hand, if the chlorine level is too high (beside the use of chemical products) the water takes on an unpleasant smell and it can cause eye irritation.
Cyanuric acid is used as a stabilizing agent for chlorine, especially in summer months or in heated pools. Alkalinity and hardness controls are equally important, as they permit the maintenance of water in a balanced condition and they prevent corrosion or deposit problems.
