Keeping pH levels balanced in indoor commercial pools is critical to a successful operation. When pH levels are too high and acidity is low, swimmers can experience skin irritation, skin dryness, and red or itchy eyes. Water will become cloudy, and your pool equipment can scale.

Reasons to Add CO₂ to Your Commercial Pool System

Traditionally, pH levels are reduced using hydrochloric acid or powdered sodium bisulfate. However, these chemicals are corrosive, potentially harmful, and must be measured precisely as small errors can significantly impact pH levels.

One alternative to hazardous acids is to use CO₂ as a pH stabilizer in your water treatment plan for your chlorinated commercial pool system. Versatile, safe, and easy to maintain, adding CO₂ to indoor commercial pools will help you lower pH levels, lower worker risk, and provide a better experience for swimmers.

Stabilize pH Levels in Water Treatments & Pool Systems

CO₂ is an ideal pH stabilizer in most commercial pool systems. When added to water, CO₂ forms a mild carbonic acid. This process maintains water alkalinity and reduces the number of dissolved solids present. Additionally, CO₂ creates a self-managing natural bicarbonate buffer, minimizing peaks and troughs of pH levels in your commercial pool and making it a safe and cost-effective water treatment method.

Increase Safety & Decrease Environmental Impact at Your Commercial Pool

Liquid and dry acids are hazardous for workers to handle. They are poisonous if ingested, flammable, and negatively impacts workers’ health if inhaled. Acids are corrosive and significantly affect the lifespan of your pool and equipment during regular use. When disposed of, these harsh chemicals can have critical consequences for the environment, including plants and animals.

Meanwhile, CO₂ is inert, non-poisonous, non-flammable, and does not require personal protective equipment, such as special clothing or breathing apparatuses, while being handled. It safely and effectively works as a pH stabilizer while lowering the overall risk at your indoor commercial pool. As CO₂ occurs in nature, it does not impact the environment when pool water is discarded.

Maintain Consistent pH Levels with an Automatic CO₂ Changeover System

While CO₂ is less corrosive than dry and liquid acids, too much or too little CO₂ can impact your indoor pool’s chemical balance. When this happens, pool plasters, surfaces, and more can be damaged. Consistent regulation is essential for the success of your CO₂ water treatment system. That’s where The Eliminator automatic gas cylinder changeover system comes in.

The Eliminator from Assurance Valve is a non-electric assembly that automatically switches from primary CO₂ cylinders to secondary cylinders when the primary options have been emptied. It requires minimal employee supervision, runs during non-staffed hours and weekends, and provides consistent CO₂ levels for any water treatment system. Other features and benefits include:

• Hands-free and automatic operations
• Minimal maintenance requirements
• Less chance of employee injury from changing cylinders
• Easy and straightforward installation
• Cost-effective upfront and throughout use
• Endless configuration options to meet your indoor commercial pool requirements
