Re: Hayward Sense & Dispense
CO2 is a legitimate method to control pH and is mostly used in a commercial pool environment. It is naturally around 7.0 pH, so that accidental overdosing of CO2 won't drop the pH like Muriatic Acid would...which makes it safer to use and alot less acidic. Carbonic Soda or Beverage Suppliers would deliver these to commercial sites in heavy tanks (up to 200 lbs).
The things to consider with CO2 in a residential environment, where do you go to refill your CO2 tank (since these suppliers do not typically deliver to residential homes, you would have to go get your tank refilled at their location)? What method is used to inject the CO2 (not using the proper injection fitting or dispersion stone, will waste alot of CO2)?
I believe Hayward also offers a Muriatic Acid tank and pump option, like the Pool Pilot Total Control system does. We've found Muriatic Acid to be easier to get than CO2.
