In general, the ideal <strong>pH of the pool<\/strong> should be <em>between 7.2 and 7.6<\/em>. If the pH is outside this range, adjust it before adding the chemical.<\/li>\n<li>Calculate the dosage: Once you have the current chlorine level, you need to<strong> calculate the amount of chemical<\/strong> you need to add to reach the desired level. The amount of chemical needed will depend on the size of the pool and the current chlorine level.<\/li>\n<li>Adding the chemical: Once you have calculated the amount of chemical needed, you <strong>must add the chemical<\/strong> to the pool. It is <em>important to follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions and distribute the chemical evenly<\/em> throughout the pool.<\/li>\n<li>Wait and check: After adding the chemical, it is important to wait a while to allow it to mix well in the water. After a few hours, you <strong>should check the pH level<\/strong> again to make sure it is within the recommended range.<br \/>\nIt is important to remember that excess chemicals in the pool can be detrimental to the health of the people using the pool, so it is essential to dose the chemicals correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In summary, dosing the right chemicals into the pool water is essential to keep the water clean and safe for use.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When thinking about treating pool water it is very common to think that just pouring the chemical into the water and leaving it for a few hours will do the trick.
