Getting the water balance right in a vinyl lined pool is a little different to a pebble, tiled or other finished pool. Regardless of whether it is an above ground pool or an inground pool, the water in a vinyl finish pool all needs to be balanced and stabilised, and regularly checked for imbalances. The following levels ensure the best care for both your family and your pool, for a vinyl lined /Aqualux finished swimming pool. DO NOT use these levels on any other pool finish.
Recommended levels for a vinyl lined/Aqualux pool:
pH…………………….. 7.4 – 7.8
Total Alkalinity…… 100 – 150ppm
Calcium Hardness.. 200 – 400ppm
Free Chlorine……… 1 -3 ppm (non heated pool)
2 – 4 ppm (heated pool)
Stabiliser………….. 30 – 50 ppm
Saturation Index.. -0.1 to+0.4
