Peristaltic metering pumps provide a reliable means in commercial pools for injecting chemicals to maintain pH. Proper pH is important for pool sanitizers to work correctly and to prevent damage to pool surfaces and equipment.
Low pH water can be corrosive to plaster surfaces and equipment. High pH water can cause scale to form on plaster finishes and decrease the effectiveness of a sanitizer. Commercial pools require continual pH adjustment to offset the higher pH of the chlorine. Muriatic acid is commonly used to lower the pH. Soda ash is commonly metered to raise the pH.
There is a variety of Stenner models to choose from that provide a wide range of outputs for many size pools. The Stenner Pump Company also offers a Tank System consisting of a metering pump and solution tank that is shipped pre-assembled for a quick and easy installation.
