Below is a list of the water balance basics that will help ensure that you have a trouble-free pool season:
Basic Water Balance Factors
- Chlorine (1-3 ppm)
- pH (7.2 - 7.4 ideal)
- Total Alkalinity (80-100 ppm)
- Stabilizer Level (30-50 ppm)
- Calcium Hardness (200-800 ppm)
Water Balance Basics
- At the beginning of the season take a water sample to your Authorized Sustain Dealer for complete analysis.
- Do not start on the SUSTAIN System until all water balance factors have been established.
- Make sure that all of your equipment is operating properly:
- Check pump and filter.
- Make sure the skimmer is unobstructed.
- Adjust the return jets to minimize dead spots in the circulation of filtered water.
- Test pool water with a DPD kit or Test Strips once a week (or more often depending on pool use and weather conditions).
- Take a water sample to your dealer for testing every 6 weeks.
- Run your pump at least 12 hours per day.
- Follow SUSTAIN product label directions.
- Never mix chemicals.
- Don't guess. If you are wondering what to do, visit or call Penguin Pools with problems that are chronic or unusual.
