Keeping pool water clean, crystal clear, and correctly disinfected does not simply consist of adding chlorine. Water is a dynamic system in which different chemical and physical parameters that are closely related to each other intervene.<\/p>\n
pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, Redox potential (ORP), alkalinity, hardness, salinity, and temperature<\/b> influence water quality and treatment efficacy.<\/p>\n
Understanding what each parameter measures is important, but it is even more important to understand how they interact with each other<\/b>.<\/p>\n
For example, having an adequate concentration of free chlorine does not alone guarantee effective disinfection. The pH can considerably modify chlorine efficacy, while ORP provides additional information on the water’s oxidizing capacity.<\/p>\n
In pools with salt chlorination, you also have to control the salt concentration and the operation of the electrolytic cell to guarantee adequate disinfectant production.<\/p>\n
In this guide, we explain the main pool water parameters, why they are important, how they relate, and how they can be controlled through automation systems<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
