Stop Pool Corrosion Damage

Corrosion: The Silent Killer of Pool Equipment Corrosion, the degradation of metal parts in your pool system, is a significant financial risk. It is typically caused by low $\text{pH}$ or low Total Alkalinity ($\text{TA}$), which makes the water acidic. Low $\text{pH}$ water seeks to balance itself by dissolving metal, leading to permanent damage to heat exchangers, pump seals, automatic cleaner components, and even underwater light rings. Signs of corrosion include etching on plaster, pitting on the concrete, and green or reddish-brown staining (metal residue) on the pool surface. Our professional weekly service precisely tests and maintains the $\text{pH}$ within the ideal $7.4$ to $7.6$ range and $\text{TA}$ between $80$ and $120$ ppm. This balance is critical to ensure the water is non-corrosive. We also check the Calcium Hardness ($\text{CH}$), as low $\text{CH}$ levels can also make the water aggressive. By chemically stabilizing your water, Shipwrecked Pools provides an essential, year-round defense for your expensive metal equipment, extending its lifespan and preventing costly emergency repairs.
