POOL TERMS
ACID- Acid comes in 2 forms liquid muriatic acid and dry acid sodium bi-sulfate.Acid is used to lower the Alkalinity and P.H. balanced water cuts down on chemical cost

BACKWASH- Backwashing is the cleaning of grids or sand by reversing the water flow through the grids.Backwashing should be done when the filter pressure get 8-10 lbs. above start up pressure and D.E. should be added upon completion with all D.E filter backwashes.
BAKING SODA-Also called sodium bicarbonate it is a white powdery substance that is used to raise the alkalinity of the water.
BALANCED WATER-Balanced swimming pool water is when your water reads between these ranges.
Clhorine- 1.0-3.0
P.H.-7.4-7.6
Alkalinity-80-100
Hardness-
Cyanuric acid-30-50
