Many American homeowners manage their pools with harsh chemicals, but statistics show that they are slowly starting to learn and implement more innovative and eco-friendly solutions. One of the most critical aspects of pool care is pH balance, but traditional methods using strong acids come with risks to both swimmers and pool equipment.
Maintaining the proper pH in your pool is essential to keeping it clean and safe. However, traditional methods come with downsides like safety risks, unstable pH, and equipment wear. That is where CO2 injection offers a superior solution.
Discover the benefits of using CO2 for pH control in pools for a safer, more convenient, and cost-effective way to achieve optimal pH balance.
Why pH Matters and How CO2 Helps
A pool’s pH level significantly impacts water chemistry, swimmer comfort, and overall the pool’s health. If your pool’s pH is too high (alkaline), you will likely face cloudy water, algae growth, and even damage to your pool equipment. Traditionally, pool owners manage to lower pH with muriatic acid, but this harsh chemical can be dangerous and ultimately cost you more in maintenance. That is why many pool experts now recommend CO2 for pH control.
Advantages of CO2
The most common advantages of using CO2 for pH control are:
- Safer and Easier to Handle – CO2 is non-corrosive, minimizing the risk of spills or dangerous fumes affecting you or your pool equipment. CO2 eliminates the need for special safety gear during handling.
- Stabilizes pH – CO2 naturally forms a bicarbonate buffer in the water, helping to stabilize pH and reduce those drastic swings. This means you will spend less time testing and adding chemicals.
- Prevents Equipment Corrosion – Acidic chemicals wear down pool equipment, particularly metal components in heaters and pumps. Over time, this corrosion can lead to leaks and costly repairs. CO2’s gentler nature helps protect those expensive pieces, potentially extending their lifespan.
- Reduced Expenses (Potentially) – While setting up has an initial cost, it may reduce your long-term pool chemical expenses. With less drastic pH fluctuations, you may need to adjust other pool chemicals less frequently.
How Does CO2 Injection Work?
Specialized equipment injects a controlled amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into your pool’s water circulation system. As CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, a weak acid that effectively lowers the pH. This system includes sensors that monitor pH in real time, ensuring precise adjustments.
Introducing the Organic pH
The Organic pH system – a revolutionary way to balance your pool using CO2. The benefits are:
- Safety First: Forget corrosive acids! Organic pH harnesses the power of natural, recycled CO2 to gently balance your water, eliminating risks from dangerous chemicals.
- Effortless pH Stability: Our patented system automatically injects precise amounts of CO2, creating a stable buffer for consistent pH even in tough conditions.
- Protect Your Investment: Acid wears down your pool’s finish and equipment. Organic pH’s gentler approach extends the life of your pool and saves you on future repairs.
