🅱️ POOL ABC - B IS FOR BALANCE ⚖️💦

A crystal-clear pool isn’t just about chlorine. It’s about getting all the different parts of your water chemistry working together.

For a typical Australian outdoor pool, these are the numbers we generally aim for:

🧪 Chlorine: 1 - 3 ppm
⚗️ pH: 7.2 - 7.6
🔵 Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
💎 Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm
☀️ Stabiliser: 30 - 50 ppm
🌱 Phosphates: ideally

One of the best parts of our job? Our customers’ dogs making every day better. 🐶❤️

From tail wags and cuddles to our very important pool inspections, the furry friends we meet along the way always make our day. 🥰

And then there was the day I got to bottle-feed a sheep. 🐑🍼😂

Pool cleaning, dog cuddles and bottle-feeding lambs… honestly, we might have the best job ever. 💙

🏊 Pool Tip Before the Weekend: Clean Your Cartridge Filter!

When was the last time you cleaned your cartridge filter? 👀

A clean filter helps your pool:
💦 Maintain good water flow & circulation
✨ Keep the water clearer
⚙️ Reduce strain on your pump
🧪 Help your chemicals circulate properly
🔋 Run more efficiently

How do you know it needs a clean?

Keep an eye on your filter pressure gauge. If the pressure rises around 20–25% above the normal clean-filter pressure, it’s generally time to give the cartridge a clean.

Other signs include:
• Reduced water flow from the returns
• No suction when trying to vacuum / use suction cleaner
• Cloudy water despite your chemistry being balanced
• Your chlorinator shuts down and displays “No Flow”

How often should you clean it?

As a general guide, cartridge filters should be thoroughly cleaned fortnightly or at least once a month, but pools with lots of leaves, dirt, dust or heavy use may need cleaning more often.

👉 Best tip: After cleaning your filter, take note of the pressure on the gauge. This is your clean-filter baseline. When the pressure rises around 20–25% above that reading, it’s time for another clean.

Give your filter some love before the weekend! 💙

🅰️ A - Alkalinity

The pool’s pH stabiliser 💧

Ideal range:
80–120 ppm

Too low?
⚠️ pH becomes unstable
⚠️ Can contribute to corrosion

➡️ Increase with: Alkalinity Increaser / Sodium Bicarbonate

Too high?
⚠️ pH becomes difficult to control
⚠️ Can contribute to cloudy water & scaling

💧 Dilute with fresh water
Alkalinity doesn’t get “used up” - it needs to be diluted.

💡 Pool Tip:
Test & adjust alkalinity before pH.

🩵 Pool Tip Before the Weekend 🩵

Before you roll your pool cover off, clear the leaves and debris first!

It might seem like a small step, but it helps:
✔️ Keep debris out of your pool
✔️ Reduce strain on your cover roller
✔️ Prevent sticks and debris getting trapped in the cover
✔️ Keep your cover cleaner and in better condition

A few extra minutes now can save you extra cleaning later. 😉

🐾🏊‍♂️ A balanced pool isn’t just better for your pool - it’s better for your dog too!

If your furry friend loves jumping in for a swim, like our friend Guido here, keeping your pool water properly balanced is especially important.

💧 Balanced pH helps prevent irritation to your dog’s eyes, skin and paws.

🧪 Correct sanitiser levels help keep the water clean and reduce harmful bacteria and other contaminants.

🐶 Less irritation means a more comfortable swim and less chance of your dog experiencing dry, itchy skin after getting out.

🚿 And remember - always give your pup a rinse with fresh water after swimming to remove pool chemicals from their coat and skin.

At Versed Pools, we keep your pool balanced, clean and ready for the whole family - four-legged members included! ❤️
