Swim Clean relies on top quality pool chemicals to keep your pool healthy and balanced. Every pool's chemical usage varies depending on the environment where the pool is located, the temperature of the water, the type of sanitizer used and the bather load. We consider each pool's requirement and tailor the chemicals we use to your pool's specific needs.
When Swim Clean tests your pool water we are testing the following main parameters:
​
-
Alkalinity
-
pH
-
Calcium Hardness
-
Sanitizer (Chlorine/Bromine)
-
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer)
-
Salt (saltwater pools)
​
Each parameter must be within range for the water to be balanced. At times additional tests for metals, LSI or sequestrants are also done to ensure the health of your pool.
