What is T.D.S. and why should we care

As pool professionals we are always looking for resources to explain the, sometimes abstract concepts of a complete story on the health of your pool or spa.

Some straight talking on pool sanitation systems.

There is an ever growing market in pool sanitation systems alternatives. As pool professionals we are constantly asked which is the best?

The answer to this question has many variables and muddying the water is a large amount of information available on the internet. A Google search will throw up a lot of information, majority of which are advertisements for one system or another, which are coloured by the fact the information is provided by manufactures or suppliers. We have no reason to believe that the assertions made in these “advertisements” are not factual nor claims made about their products cannot be substantiated. We merely observe that they project the systems in the best possible light and can choose to omit negative factors that do not support this view . Truly informed research is sometimes hard to come by, so to help you separate the wheat from the chaff, we will endeavour to give you some pros and cons on all of the major sanitation systems available. We are going to avoid any manufactures or suppliers names, instead we will concentrate on the systems only and on the base systems only as there is a plethora or hybrid combination systems available, but are all based on the forms of sanitation as set out below.

It cannot be stressed enough that sanitation and filtration go hand in hand to produce clean, clear, safe and sparkling pool water. Please be aware that any sanitation system can only perform to its full potential with an installed efficiently operative filtration system correctly sized to the volume of water being filtered.
