SKIN & EYE IRRITATION

Skin and/or eye irritation can be caused by a number of things:

• High or low pH - Maintain pH from 7.4 - 7.6 for the best bather comfort. For chlorinated or brominated pools, use chlorine neutralizer when testing pH to ensure accurate reading.
• High Sanitizer/Oxidizer Residuals - Maintain the free chlorine residual from 1- 3 ppm. Maintain the total bromine residual from 2 -4 ppm for residential and 4 -6 for commercial pools.  Maintain the SoftSwim B residual from 30- 50 ppm and SoftSwim C 20 - 60 ppm.
• Combined Chlorine - The total chlorine residual should equal the free chlorine residual. We can test your water for combined chlorine (the water will usually have a strong chlorine odor when the chlorine is combined).

Make sure that the water is balanced properly for the sanitizer type.  Have a complete water analysis performed once a month and follow the ALEX recommendations.
