The importance of balanced water - the balancing act ...
It may surprise you, but the water you drink may not be fit for your pool.
Tap water can have high or low pH and minerals levels that can harm your pool.
Improper levels of pH and minerals can prevent pool treatments from doing their job, not to mention damaging your pool and its equipment with stains, scale and corrosion.
Total Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness, Iron, Copper and Total Dissolved Solids make up overall water balance. Maintaining the ideal ranges of these parameters will maximise swimmer comfort, chemical effectiveness and protect the surface and equipment of your pool.
Your pool also needs to be stabilised. BioGuard Stabiliser is a chemical that prevents loss of chlorine by the sun's rays.
Due to the harsh climatic conditions and high bather loads here in the NT, by following BioGuard's once a week pool care program, you'll have more time to relax and enjoy your pool. Now what could be easier?
Simply follow these quick steps ......
Step 1) Add BioGuard Smart Sticks to your skimmer
Step 2) Add BioGuard Lite to remove wastes and keeps pool water sparkling clear.
Step 3) Add BioGuard Back Up Algae Inhibitor to prevent algae.
It's as easy as 1,2,3.
Balanced water...
* Protects the pool's surface, thereby protecting your warranty & investment
* Improve the efficiency of chlorine to properly sanitise your water
* Balanced water feels great and is a pleasure in swim in
* Regular maintenance and balancing reducers the risk of algae problems which could cost you more than just money

pH Chart

The ideal range is pinkish-orange - 7.4 to 7.6. Yellow means pH is low, pinkish purple means it's high. Either could mean trouble. BioGuard takes care of both. Balance Pak 200 takes pH up, Lo'N Slo brings it down.
