Discover the many advantages of a pH regulator

I never tire of repeating that pH is an essential criterion for enjoying your pool during the summer. It is crucial to maintain the pH balance, to control the correct measurement and to know how to change its level. In this article, we will analyze the pH in all its states so that you can enjoy your pool while saving money.

Know how to control the pH to your fingertips!

Having a balanced pH is important whatever treatment you have chosen to disinfect your pool. The effectiveness of your treatment will depend on this pH, in principle when its exact value varies between 7.2 and 7.4. If the value is higher or lower, no treatment will be reliable.

In this case, check your pH and pay attention to its value in order to have the right balance but above all to avoid possible problems such as turbid water, algae formation or the malfunctioning of algaecides.

How to regulate the Ph?

There are two ways to regulate the pH:

• Manually: the pH is regulated manually using accessories such as drops, strips or the measuring device designed for this purpose. The pH is regulated by adding pH minus or pH plus. This should be done at least twice a week or even more during periods of heavy rainfall.
• Automatically: The pH can also be regulated automatically with a pH controller. This device does the work itself every day and efficiently.

What is a pH regulator? And what are its advantages?

The pH regulator is an electronic system that analyses and regulates the correct pH level. The work is carried out using its integrated analysis cell or probe, which measures the pH value of the water in real time. In order to keep the right balance and have clear water, this regulator will rectify the pH by adding pH minus or pH plus using its dosing pump.

What are the benefits?

The regulator saves you the routine of manual regulation, which often leads to incorrect dosing, and makes your job easier by performing the regulation automatically. By carrying out an analysis in real time, even several times a day, the pH regulator maintains the correct pH value and avoids the risk of variations. Thanks to this system, you can definitively forget about green water caused by an unstable and incorrect pH. Your treatment will also be effective in keeping the water clean and clear. The pH regulator will be your best companion without you having to constantly monitor your pool. It does the job itself provided it is equipped with active product. Last but not least: the savings you'll make with this device. Indeed, a balanced pH allows you to reduce the consumption of pool treatment products and to enjoy your pool in the best conditions.

For example:

• Chlorine/PH: The efficiency of chlorine is 60% if the pH balance is respected (between 7.2 and 7.4). Chlorine will only be active at minus 20% if the value is 8.
• Algicide/pH: A pH above 7.6 develops algae rapidly. 
• Flocculant/pH: A too high pH will negatively impact the action of the flocculants. Having a balanced pH is therefore of paramount importance not only to guarantee the effectiveness of your treatments but also to save money. Thank you for reading and I hope you will find the instructions necessary to enjoy your summer in the water. Jade
