Testing and Treating Pool Water

It is important to regularly check the quality of the pool water. This is possible with the 3-in-1 test strips from EXIT Toys. These test strips measure the alkalinity, pH and chlorine content of your pool water. But how does it work? And what should you look out for and what can you do if the water quality is not good? EXIT explains:

Fresh and clear pool water

Chlorine is a disinfectant that is important for keeping the pool free of bacteria, fungi and algae. The pH value is the acidity of the water: the water is best for swimming when it has a good pH value and the chlorine also works best then. The alkalinity ensures that these two values ​​remain in balance and is the actual basis for good pool water.

Pool water quality can be seen as a domino effect: pH collapses without or with the wrong alkalinity, and chlorine collapses without or with the wrong pH. Always follow this order when testing: Start with alkalinity. If that is OK, test and adjust pH. And if that is OK, check and adjust chlorine.

Measuring means knowing

If the pool is used intensively, the values ​​can fluctuate considerably in a short space of time. Therefore, test the pool water regularly with the EXIT 3-in-1 test strips . On the 3-in-1 test strips you will find three individual fields for measuring the various values. Hold the EXIT pool test strip completely under water. Remove the test strip after 5 seconds and hold the test strip horizontally without shaking off the water.

You can now compare the colors on the test strip with the colors on the packaging. The light colors that appear indicate a deficiency, while dark colors indicate an excess amount. You can use the packaging to see if a value is good. If a value is wrong, it’s time to take action:

Always change the alkalinity first as soon as you see that it is not right. The alkalinity can be increased with TAC + – and reduced with TAC- – powder. Is the alkalinity good and is the pH value (still) wrong? Then you can adjust the pH value with pH – or pH + powder.

As a final step, look at the chlorine: is the alkalinity and pH of the water good, but the chlorine level is too high or too low? If there is too much chlorine in the water, you don’t really need to do anything. The chlorine will automatically drop to the desired level with lots of sunlight or lots of swimmers. If there is too little chlorine, you can increase the chlorine level by adding more chlorine tablets to the water. It’s child’s play!

Read Other: The first adjustment is made immediately after the installation of the structure to achieve good operation – without extraneous sounds, which are evidence of friction of parts on surfaces fixed against their background (causes accelerated wear). The cause of such malfunctions is either errors during self-installation or shortcomings in the work of the craftsmen when the owner tries to save money and invites “generalists” who rarely deal with sectional doors. Cable distortions, for example, due to breakage or slipping from the drum, cause increased load on the inertial spring mechanism. The longer it is used in this form, the higher the risk of failure of the entire unit.
