SOME TIPS ON WATER CHEMISTRY Your heat pump, just as any type of pool heater (gas, oil, electric, etc.), features some metal parts that can be damaged by bad pool water chemistry. The condenser of your pool heat pump is made of a copper alloy that, as resistant as it is, is sensitive to pH.
Sanitizers Sanitizers are products used to sanitize water, to relieve it from microbes and algae.They are chlorine, in its different forms and bromine. Each has its advantages and inconveniences and have different pH values. They can have different impacts on water chemistry and can necessitate various chemical products to counter-balance those impacts or to stabilize them. Warm water is more difficult to maintain, it necessitates greater quantities of sanitizers, and therefore, greater quantities of other chemical products.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1) Is it possible that my pool is losing water since my pool heater was installed? Your pool is not losing water, but because the pool water is at a higher temperature, there is more evaporation. When the difference of temperature between the pool water and the surrounding air is increased, more evaporation happens.
