Practical tips to keep swimming pool water healthy:

• Obviously sufficient water circulation and filtration is also required to ensure crystal clear water.
• Chlorine work most effective when the water's pH is around 7.2 and the the TA (Total Alkalinity) is kept between 80ppm  and 120ppm
• If your pool water is smelly or the water colour is milky, dark green, neon green, black, yellow or not 100% crystal clear - Whatsapp Us for professional advice.
• Trichlor is very acid with a pH near 3 and use of the product will necessitate adjustment upwards of the Total Alkalinity and/or pH. Use of Africhem Boost & Buffer is recommend
• To "chlorine shock treat" your pool weekly during the swimming season - use HTH or Africhem granular chlorine

The ideal level for Cyanuric acid is 30 to 50 ppm ....and have NOTHING TO DO WITH pool acid or pH. Use Africhem Chlorine Protector to increase the level and add more fresh water to reduce it and obviously stop using "stabilised chlorine products for a while.
