Corrosive Water
- Permanently etches pool plaster
- Dissolves tile grout over time
- Rapidly corrodes metal heaters and ladders
- Water appears cloudy or metallic

Calcule o Índice de Saturação de Langelier (LSI) para manter a água equilibrada.

The most critical LSI variable. A 0.1 change in pH shifts the LSI by 0.1; lower pH tends toward corrosive and higher toward scale.
Acts as a pH buffer. High TA keeps pH stable but makes it harder to adjust; low TA causes pH bounce.
Calcium is the raw material for scale. Too little leaches calcium from plaster; too much precipitates as white deposits.
CYA buffers a portion of alkalinity, so the LSI calculation removes about one third of CYA from total alkalinity.
Total dissolved solids affect ionic strength. Salt pools typically run around 3200 ppm.
Warmer water raises LSI; cold water can become corrosive, especially in winter.
