ESSENTIAL CARE FOR RECENTLY PLASTERED POOLS
- High pH Levels: It’s common for newly plastered pools to have high pH (alkalinity) levels initially. It should be noted, this can be due to the plaster curing process and the release of calcium hydroxide. Undoubtedly, it is important to regularly test the pool’s water to ensure water health and chemical balance.
- Stabilization Over Time: Achieving a stable pH level can take some time. In some circumstances it can take an entire season. As a result, during this period, the pH levels may fluctuate.
- Use of Acid to Stabilize pH: Acid is a useful and common tool regularly used for stabilizing pH in newly plastered pools. Furthermore, acid will assist in lowering the alkalinity and will promote a more balanced pH level.
- Proper Balance: Maintaining the proper pH balance is critical for the health of the pool surface. Extremely high pH levels can lead to scaling and damage to the plaster in your pool. Adversely, very low pH levels can corrode equipment and irritate swimmers skin and eyes causing an unpleasant swimming experience.
- Regular Monitoring: It’s essential to regularly monitor the pH levels with frequent water testing in a newly plastered pool. This will assist the pool owner and team of professionals in making the necessary adjustments. Our team of experts will use acid or other pH-balancing chemicals to keep the water within the recommended range of pH levels and much more.
