BioGuard® balancers are essential to an effective pool program. Maintenance will be easier and you can prevent routine pool care issues from growing into major problems.

When your pool water is balanced, there is the proper ratio of mineral content and pH. Balanced water prevents pool water from being corrosive or scale-forming. In order to keep your water balanced, you may need to use one or more of the products in BioGuard®'s line of balancers. They include products that control scale, prevent metallic stains, adjust the pH and total alkalinity, and correct mineral imbalances.

The benefits of balanced water include:

  • Reducing maintenance costs and chlorinating product consumption
  • Preventing equipment corrosion, etching of plaster, and wrinkling of liners
  • Preventing eye irritation due to low pH
  • Avoiding pH bounce due to rain, swimmer load, and other chemical application
  • Preventing serious damage that scaling can cause to pool surfaces and equipment
  • Increasing swimmer comfort
  • Allowing chlorine residual to work most efficiently

The water will remain in balance if kept inside the following ranges.

Free chlorine residual 1.0-3.0 ppm (parts per milllion)
Total bromine residual 1.0-3.0 ppm
pH
7.2-7.8 is acceptable
7.4-7.6 is ideal
