CO2 is the safest, most reliable alternative to using sulphuric acid to balance the pH level of your chlorinated water. Maintaining the desired pH level of your water is critical to ensure swimmers' comfort and safety.
CO2 replaces acid and is easily regulated by your automatic control system. It provides several benefits for your operation.
The use of CO2 lowers the total alkalinity of the water by combining with the water to form mild carbonic acid that creates a natural buffer against sudden spikes in pH from chlorine shock treatments.
By consistently maintaining an optimum pH level, you will:
Ensure safe water conditions
Improve water clarity
Use fewer chemicals
Have less damage to pool surfaces
By using CO2, you eliminate the dangers and costs associated with sulphuric acid:
No more use of acid feed pumps
No more dangerous fumes in the mechanical room from the mixing of chlorine vapor and acid
Minimizes mechanical room corrosion
No costs incurred for acid feed pump maintenance or tubing replacement
