Crystal clear water : expert secrets
Understanding pool water quality
Sommaire
Crystal-clear pool water is more than just an aesthetic goal—it is the result of a sophisticated interplay between hydraulic engineering, water chemistry, and cutting-edge technology. Achieving this clarity requires an in-depth understanding of the various parameters that influence water quality and a meticulous approach to maintaining the delicate balance of circulation, filtration, and treatment.
Key factors for a crystal-clear pool water
Achieving perfectly clear water in an infinity pool is more than a matter of aesthetics—it is a highly technical process that combines precise chemical management with physical and environmental considerations. The interplay between these factors requires ongoing monitoring and adjustments to maintain equilibrium.
Chemical parameters
- pH levels (7.2–7.6): critical for maintaining water balance and preventing corrosion or scaling
- Chlorine levels (1–3 ppm) : Essential for sanitation and controlling algae growth
- Total alkalinity (80–120 ppm): acts as a buffer to stabilise pH
- Calcium hardness: (200–400 ppm) : prevents plaster erosion and surface scaling
- Cyanuric acid (30–50 ppm) : Shields chlorine from UV degradation, particularly in outdoor pools.
Physical parameters
- Water temperature: Warm water accelerates bacterial growth and increases chlorine consumption.
- Circulation : Poor water movement leads to stagnant zones where algae thrive.
- Filtration; Undersized filtration results in inadequate water turnover, leading to poor circulation and ineffective removal of debris and contaminants.
- Pool design: Depth and shape influence how effectively water circulates and how evenly treatments are distributed.
Environmental factors
- Pollution & debris: Leaves, pollen, dust, and airborne pollutants can quickly contaminate pool water, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Bather load: The number of swimmers directly impacts water quality, increasing organic waste, sunscreen residues, and the demand for filtration and chemical treatment.
- Sunlight & UV exposure: UV rays break down chlorine, affecting its effectiveness and influencing water temperature.
- Rainwater & weather Changes: Can dilute chemicals, lower pH, and introduce unwanted contaminants.
- Surrounding vegetation: Increases organic matter in the pool, promoting algae growth and requiring more intensive filtration and chemical adjustments.
⚠️ Key consideration
Managing the water in an infinity pool does not require a more complex approach than a traditional pool. In fact, the overflow system enhances filtration by continuously removing the most polluted surface water.

- Efficient circulation
- Strategic placement of inlets and outlets
- Additional circulation points for complex designs.
Skimmers or overflow systems
- Surface skimming using skimmers or overflow edges
- Water level regulation
- Balancing tank capacity
- Design and sizing of overflow channels
Energy performance

A poorly designed hydraulic circuit can undermine the entire water treatment system. Precise flow calculations, strategic jet placement, and properly sized pipework are essential to maintaining crystal -clear water quality and system efficiency.
Proactive maintenance and monitoring
Proactive maintenance and continuous monitoring are fundamental to optimal water quality management. This approach enables the early identification of potential issues, ensuring consistently pristine water.
🔎 Analysis and control
Maintaining crystal-clear water necessitates a rigorous and methodical testing protocol. Regular monitoring of key parameters, such as pH and chlorine levels, allows for precise adjustments to treatment processes. In-depth weekly analyses, including assessments of stabiliser and hardness levels, provide a comprehensive understanding of the water’s balance. This proactive approach ensures optimal water quality and a safe swimming environment.
🧽 Proactive maintenance
For optimal performance, the system requires regular and precise maintenance. Filter cleaning is carried out as needed, based on pressure fluctuations, to ensure peak filtration efficiency. Measurement probes are calibrated monthly to guarantee accurate data readings. Preventive maintenance of the pump(s) includes cleaning the pre-filter and inspecting seals to minimise the risk of breakdowns.
🕵️♂️ Connected monitoring
Modern technology enables real-time, intelligent supervision of your installation. The connected monitoring system ensures 24/7 oversight of critical parameters, with instant alerts in case of anomalies. A 24-month data history allows for in-depth trend analysis and continuous optimisation of system settings. Advanced predictive algorithms anticipate maintenance needs, enabling proactive intervention for optimal performance and reliability.
Key takeaway: Achieving and maintaining crystal clear water is not just about regular cleaning—it starts with thoughtful design, the right equipment, and a disciplined maintenance routine. By investing in high-quality systems and embracing modern water treatment solutions, pool owners can enjoy pristine water with minimal effort.

Frequently asked questions
Wind carries dust, leaves, and debris into the pool, clogging filters and disrupting chemical balance. It also increases evaporation, concentrating chemicals and requiring more frequent refills.
Pool depth plays a crucial role in both water circulation and chemical distribution. Deeper pools require stronger filtration and circulation to ensure even chemical dispersion and prevent stagnation in lower sections.
Water temperature directly impacts pool chemistry, affecting chlorine efficiency, pH balance, and algae growth. Warmer water accelerates chlorine depletion, raises pH levels, and increases the risk of calcium scaling. In contrast, colder water slows chemical reactions, stabilises pH, but can become more corrosive, requiring precise adjustments to maintain a healthy and well-balanced pool.
Smooth surfaces like fiberglass or high-quality tiles prevent algae and debris buildup, reducing maintenance needs. Rougher surfaces, such as plaster, require more frequent scrubbing to maintain clear water.
