Q. I’ve heard you need to balance your pool water after storms or rain. Why?

 A. Heavy rain can change the pH level of your pool water. Water out of balance is uncomfortable for swimmers (think irritated skin and sore eyes). It can cause expensive damage to your pool and equipment and interfere with pool sanitisation.

Talk to your local Swimart pool and spa specialist about getting the right balance for your pool type and size.

 TIP: Always balance your pool water after rain.
