TOTALBalance is a state of the art pH management system - no other pH system is as simple or user-friendly. TOTALBalance doesn't require a drop of liquid acid, and can be installed yourself without any re-plumbing or complicated chemical control setup.
TOTALBalance uses CO2 infusion, a safe and natural process to lower your pool's pH. Other pH systems require a large hazardous tank of liquid acid, chemical pump, and acid feed lines. TOTALBalance makes that all unnecessary by using small amounts of CO2 gas infused directly into your circulation pump. This basic process is enabled by infuser connections that simply screw directly in to the standard drain plugs on the bottom of most swimming pool pumps. The TOTALBalance controller regulates the amount of CO2 delivered into your pool return plumbing, and simply hangs on the wall nearby your pool equipment and plugs into a standard 110V outlet.
The TOTALBalance's patented CO2 infusion process provides best-in-class performance. Other methods of CO2 injection do not provide as effective CO2 absorption, making the process inefficient. This causes greater amount of CO2 to be used in order to effectively lower the pH. The TOTALBalance infuses the CO2 under high pressure for complete absorption: this eliminate CO2 bubbles and maximizes the efficiency of generating carbonic acid to keep the pool balanced, a safe effective and natural form of acid. This allows the TOTALBalance to require very low levels of CO2 usage, which greatly extends the time between refills by up to 2x
Includes your choice of single-tank or triple-tank regulator. CO2 tank(s) sold separately or are commonly available for local purchase or rental.
Questions about CO2? We're glad to help! CO2 tanks can be easily refilled, just like you might refill your barbeque's propane tank. Depending on tank size, many people only need a refill once per swimming season, and the average refill is only about $20-30. CO2 refills are widely available at welding supply stores, hardware stores, restaurant supply stores, sporting good stores, and many more. See also the "Sizing Info" tab.

General FAQ
Your pool’s pH is at the heart of your water balance and is key to the interaction between the other components of your water chemistry. The water’s pH can make your pool’s chlorine significantly less effective. It can cause itching or irritation for your swimmers, and can influence either etching of pool surfaces or deposits of calcium, scaling, or crystals on the pool surfaces and salt cells if it’s not kept on track.
Ideally, your pool’s pH should be kept between 7.4-7.6. Your pool’s pH can change quite rapidly, though, and with only weekly measurement and adjustment you spend a significant percentage of the time above or below the target pH. Weekly pH management is simply too infrequent.
We carry CO2 tanks, and you can also buy or rent a tank locally. To fill your tank, you have a lot of options ranging from hardware stores, sporting good stores, welding supply stores, restaurant supply stores (CO2 is used in soda fountains and beer tap systems), home brew supply stores, paintball supply stores, and more.
The CO2 gets absorbed into your pool water, forming "carbonic acid" to keep the pH balance in check. So you're not seeing CO2 bubbles coming out of your pool jets and immediately escaping the pool; rather, its getting dissolved into the water where it forms CH2O3.
This system actually has patented technology that allows for predictable CO2 usage. When sized right, refills are extremely infrequent - as little as once a swim season or even less. The manufacturer site gives pretty detailed information about CO2 use, you can see that here.

Q:
after using this system for a week my PH is now 7.0 - how do I get it back to normal range? I adjusted the infusion setting from 120 to 100 but it didn;t change the PH - and I have no idea how to change the "flow Rate" the instructions don;t tell how to do that.

Q:
How does this system know how much CO2 to add to the water? Does it monitor PH levels and turn on when needed or does it simply inject an adjustable constant flow of CO2.

Manufacturer 1 Year Limited Warranty for residential use. All individual product warranties offered are provided by the relative manufacturer and are limited to the terms they provide. See individual product manual documentation for a full description of warranty terms, limitations, proration, and conditions.
The system will work equally well with most any size pool, more CO2 capacity just means less frequent refills.
- To balance cost and convenience, CircuPool recommends these sizing guidelines, which should require a CO2 refill no more than once every three months*.
- One 20 lb. tanks - 12,000 gallon pool or less
- Double 20 lb. tanks / one 35 lb. tank - 20,000 gallon pool or less (35 lb. tank sizes should be purchased or rented locally)
- Triple 20 lb. tanks - 36,000 gallon pool or less (Recommended size for most residential pool)
- Triple 35 lb. tanks - 64,000 gallon pool or less (35 lb. tank sizes should be purchased or rented locally)
- You can alter the CO2 tank sizing according to your needs, so that refills are need from monthly to annually.
