Water Balancers – The Foundation of Healthy Pool Chemistry
Balancing your pool water isn’t just about comfort—it’s essential for protecting your pool surfaces, equipment, and ensuring sanitizers work effectively. Our complete line of water balancers helps you manage pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer levels to maintain clear, safe water all season long.
Why Balancing Matters
Improper water balance can cause everything from eye irritation and cloudy water to corrosion and scale buildup. Keeping your key levels in check improves swimmer comfort, protects your liner and hardware, and helps chlorine and other sanitizers perform at their best.
- pH Increasers & Reducers: Maintain the ideal pH range (7.2–7.6) for swimmer comfort and sanitizer efficiency
- Alkalinity Adjusters: Prevent pH bounce and keep your pool water stable
- Calcium Hardness Boosters: Protect vinyl liners and pool equipment from soft water damage
- Stabilizers (CYA): Shield chlorine from UV breakdown and extend its effectiveness
We carry a full line of professional-grade water balancers and offer expert support to help you correct levels quickly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal pH level for a pool?
The ideal pH range is 7.2 to 7.6. This range keeps water comfortable for swimmers, prevents corrosion or scaling, and helps chlorine remain effective.
Why does my pH level keep changing?
Fluctuating pH can be caused by low total alkalinity. Using an alkalinity increaser helps buffer your pH and keep it stable over time.
What happens if calcium hardness is too low?
Low calcium levels can lead to soft water, which pulls minerals from your pool surfaces, causing damage. Use a calcium hardness increaser to prevent erosion.
How often should I test my pool’s water balance?
We recommend testing pH and alkalinity weekly, and calcium hardness and stabilizer levels monthly—or any time water conditions change significantly.
