CO2 Controller Effective pH control in pool water
Description
Description
The WaterPro CO2 Feeder is designed to utilise Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the control of pH levels in pools and spas.
Features
- 0-25 L/Min of air flow using a manually adjustable rotameter
- Switch to set function, on, off, auto
- Pre-wired for remote start/stop from swimming pool controller
- Standard push connectors for 8mm O/D hose
- Quality SMC air solenoid valve
- IP rated housing
- Quality electrical componentory
Advantages of CO2
- No handling of corrosive acid containers,
- No corrosion of equipment and facilities from acid fumes,
- No dangerous chemical reactions with chlorine,
- Less danger of excessive low pH in water. Because carbonic acid is a weak acid, the lowest pH value that can be reached is 6.8, even under accidental runaway conditions,
Caution
- CO2 increases the alkalinity of water and is therefore not recommended for applications where high alkalinity is a problem. Total Alkalinity (TA) should be maintained between 80 and 125 ppm.
- High alkalinity increases acid demand, makes it difficult to lower the pH and may result in the formation of bicarbonate scale.
- High alkalinity may be reduced with muriatic acid HCl or dry acid.
