NATURAL CURRENT WATER CHEMISTRY INSTRUCTIONS
AND View It Below
There are three principles one must understand to maintain a healthy sparkling swimming pool or spa. First, you
need the Savior solar pump and filter for great circulation. By moving the water around the Savior is able to mix
the chemicals efficiently and treat all the water in the pool or spa. Second, you need to remove small particles
from the water; this is known and filtration with the Savior. Third, you need a sanitizer to kill bacteria and algae.
If you didn't use a sanitizer your water will quickly turn green and unhealthy for use.
Water Chemistry -
The water in your pool or spa may look clean with the use and power of the Savior from Natural Current, but
this doesn’t mean it's properly balanced or safe to swim in. Proper water balance is important for several
reasons. For one, good water balance means comfortable water to be in. If you've ever been to a pool and had
your eyes irritated the water may have been too alkaline or the chlorine level may have been too high.
Water Test Kits
A good test kit will read total chlorine, free chlorine, total alkalinity, pH, hardness and cyanuric acid level. In
addition there are specific test kits to test for the presence of minerals or metals in the water such as copper.
Test strips are suggested over liquid kits because they're much easier to use and with this simplicity comes less
chance of reading them incorrectly.
Calculating Your Pool's Capacity
Since administering chemicals properly depends on your pool's capacity, here are some formulas to get a close
estimate in gallons.
Rectangular or Square Pools:
Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5
(Example: A 16 x 32 pool with an average depth of 6 feet
16 x 32 x 6 x 7.5 = 23,040 gallons)
Round Pools:
Diameter of Pool x Diameter of Pool x Average Depth x 5.9.
Oval Pools:
Length x Width x Average Depth x 5.9
