LSI vs. Range Chemistry
At Sunrise Pool & Spa, we’ve seen firsthand the damage that imbalanced water can cause—etched plaster, cloudy water, scaled heaters, and corroded salt systems. That’s why we don’t rely solely on outdated range chemistry to evaluate pool water. We use the LSI method to get a full, accurate picture of your pool’s water balance.
Using an LSI calculator allows us to protect your investment by preventing costly damage before it starts. Whether you're a homeowner maintaining your backyard oasis or managing a commercial pool system, LSI-based balancing ensures long-term performance, clarity, and swimmer comfort.
Let us help you keep your water balanced the right way—scientifically, sustainably, and professionally.

Regular backwashing and cleaning of your DE pool filter is essential to ensure that your pool stays clean, clear, and healthy for swimming.

WTpH!
Maintaining the correct pH level in a swimming pool is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it affects the effectiveness of other pool chemicals, such as chlorine, which is used to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms. Chlorine is most effective when the pH is between 7.2 and 7.8. If the pH level is too high or too low, the chlorine will not work effectively, which can lead to problems with water quality.
Weekly Algaecide? Why, Yes!
Algaecide is a chemical that is specifically designed to kill and prevent the growth of algae in your pool. Algae is a common problem in pools, and it can quickly spread and turn your pool water green and murky.
