The Science of Clean Water

Pool Chemical Balancing

Precise water chemistry keeps your pool safe, clear, and comfortable. We test every parameter and make exact adjustments every visit.

What's Included

Every detail covered, every visit.

pH Testing & Adjustment

We maintain your pH between 7.4-7.6 for maximum chlorine effectiveness, swimmer comfort, and surface protection.

Free Chlorine

We keep free chlorine at 2-4 ppm to sanitize your water and prevent algae — critical in Jacksonville's warm climate.

Total Alkalinity

We keep alkalinity at 80-120 ppm to stabilize pH and prevent the constant fluctuations that make pools difficult to manage.

Cyanuric Acid (CYA)

Stabilizer protects chlorine from UV degradation. We keep CYA at 30-50 ppm — essential in Florida's intense sunshine.

Salt & Phosphates

For saltwater pools, we monitor salt levels. We also test phosphates — the nutrient that feeds algae — and treat when levels are elevated.

Calcium Hardness

We monitor calcium at 200-400 ppm to protect your pool surfaces from etching and your equipment from scale buildup.

Why Water Chemistry Matters

Unbalanced water doesn't just look bad — it damages your pool surfaces, corrodes equipment, irritates skin and eyes, and creates conditions for dangerous bacteria and algae to thrive. Here's what we monitor and why.

pH
7.4 - 7.6
Chlorine effectiveness and swimmer comfort
Free Chlorine
2 - 4 ppm
Sanitizes water and prevents algae
Total Alkalinity
80 - 120 ppm
Stabilizes pH levels
Cyanuric Acid
30 - 50 ppm
Protects chlorine from UV sunlight
Salt (saltwater pools)
2,700 - 3,400 ppm
Powers the salt chlorine generator
Phosphates
Below 300 ppb
Starves algae of nutrients
Calcium Hardness
200 - 400 ppm
Prevents surface etching and scale
