Eye/Skin Irritation

What is it?

Eyes and skin can become irritated after spending time in the pool for various reasons. Out of balance pool parameter, specifically pH, can cause eye and skin irritation in swimmers.

To adjust pH:

  • Test water to determine current chemistry conditions
  • Test water before adding product to ensure which factors need to be adjusted
  • Add Lo 'N Slo®​ if pH is high, Balance Pak® 200​ if the pH is low
