TOTALBalance Benefits How Does it Work? CO2 Tanks & Sizing How Does it Compare?

If you had to choose one, would you rather add ACID or AIR to your pool?

Acid: Your pH is constantly changing if you use traditional chemical maintenance. Imbalanced pH can make your pool sanitation ineffective, cause swimmer discomfort, and even damage pool surfaces and equipment. Worse yet, keeping pH balanced typically means storing, handling, and dumping caustic acid into the pool - standard Muriatic (Hydrochloric) Acid can cause severe harm and damage to you, your swimmers, your pool and equipment.

Air: Instead, the TOTALBalance is a revolutionary system that constantly manages your pH without adding a drop of acid. It uses a patented process of CO₂ infusion to naturally, safely, and effectively control your pH - for consistently balanced water with no risk of hurting your swimmers or damaging your pool. And unlike other pH controllers, the TOTALBalance is so simple and streamlined that its do-it-yourself installation takes less than 30 minutes.

*The TOTALBalance pH Control system can work with virtually any size pool, and refilling its CO₂ tank(s) is typically only needed seasonally - typically 3 months per refill depending on pool size and CO₂ tank sizes. See "CO₂ Tanks & Sizing" below.

TOTALBalance pH systems allow you to:

Automatically keep your pool balanced - effortlessly, every day

Prevent imbalanced chemistry from sneaking up on you and harming one of your most valuable investments.
In addition to making it harder to keep your pool clean and causing uncomfortable swimming, bad pH can etch away and erode pool surfaces and equipment!

Maintain a safe pH level - organically

Coming in contact with acid can cause severe damage to you and your surroundings. Even just the fumes are dangerous.
Instead, CO₂ infusion is highly effective without the health and safety risks.

Do it yourself in 30 minutes or less! Easy install, simple to use

TOTALBalance installation requires no plumbing. It connects to the drain plugs on most pumps, and can simply plug into a power outlet.

Connects to CircuPool SmartFlo pumps, as well as most Hayward®, Pentair®, Sta-Rite®, PacFab®, and more...

How does the TOTALBalance work? It's a patented process!

Connect the TOTALBalance Controller to its CO₂ tank and to your pool pump

This is done in minutes with supplied tubing and easy "press-and-seal" connections between all three items.
You'll connect to your pump's exisiting drain ports with specially-designed connectors (included) that just screw in place of your drain plugs.

A small amount of CO₂ is injected into your return plumbing

By injecting it into the pump, the CO₂ is fully absorbed into the water - there are no bubbles.
The controller injects just the right amount of CO₂ for your pool's needs.

The CO₂ is infused and absorbed into the water, balancing the pool

The CO₂ is transformed into a natural form of carbonic acid which saturates the pool water to control pH.

CO₂ - How much does my pool need & where do I get it?

Which size CO₂ tanks do I need for my pool?

The system will work equally well with most any size pool, more CO₂ just means less frequent refills.
To balance cost and convenience, we recommend:

One 20 lb. tank - 12,000 gallon pool or less
Double 20lb. tanks / one 35 lb. tank - 20,000 gallon pool or less
Triple 20 lb. tanks - 36,000 gallon pool or less (Recommended size for most residential pools)
Triple 35 lb. tanks - 64,000 gallon pool or less

These recommendations would require refills once a quarter or less often. For more details, see sizing charts below.
Note: 35 lb. tank sizes should be purchased or rented locally
Note: pools with spill-overs, zero-edge / infinity-edge, or waterfalls that run for long periods can cause significant amounts of aeration and evaporation; consider upsizing your tank capacity by least one recommended level or more when used on such a pool. Conversely, if a pool is very frequently covered while not in use, less evaporation occurs and the system will not need to run as much.

How often do I need to refill the CO₂?

The patented CO₂ infusion process allows for predictable CO₂ use!

Where do I refill the CO₂ tanks, and how expensive is it?

Just like you might refill your barbeque propane tank, your CO₂ tank(s) can be easily refilled.
CO₂ refills are widely available across the country. Hardware stores, sporting good stores, restaurant supply stores, paintball stores, and welding supply stores just to name a few. In some areas, there are even companies that provide onsite refill services.

We're even glad to help you look up stores in your area, just give us a call or send an email.

On average, a CO₂ refill typically only costs $15 - $40

The Easiest Way to Maintain Pool pH

What a great concept and it actually works brilliantly! This CO2 injection system is fantastic for maintaining pH balance. We had our pool resurfaced several months ago and had a huge challenge in getting the pool chemistry balanced. We were constantly bouncing between revising Total Alkalinity (TA) and then pH (then repeating over and over). With this system, I simply adjusted the TA levels and then turned on the CO2 pH system. In only two days, the pH leveled out at 7.6 and has been rock solid since. No more adding muriatic acid daily to reduce pH, followed by baking soda to get TA back up. This thing is amazing so far. I recommend getting one or two extra CO2 tanks as it's not always easy to find locations to get them refilled.

One word: ingenious

Between this system and my salt system, I literally haven't messed with my pool for over 6 weeks. I've check my levels there times now - staying perfect. Adding a pH control system to my pool finally makes feels like it's 2019 and we've actually figured out how to maintain a pool...

CO2 system works Great

I was sold on salt water system as the be all for pools. Itâ€™s nice to not mess with chlorine buts thatâ€™s it. Iâ€™ve been following with balancing PH, Alkalinity and chlorine for 2.5 years. Throwing in 2 to 3 quarters of acid ever 3-4 days to fight the balancing act. Saw an article on CO2 injection and decided to try it. Smartest thing Iâ€™ve done was I standing the injection system. IT WORKS. Ran through 8 lbs of CO2 in a month. Now have 3-10 lbs cylinders to see how long they last. Doesnâ€™t matter this system works. I recommend anyone tired of fooling with the balancing act get and install a CO2 injection system.

Total Balance

I had been plagued constantly by high PH readings. I would add a quart of acid one day and drop the PH to 7.8 or so, and 2 days later it would be right back up to 8 or higher. I know other people that don't use half as much acid as I do, I guess I'm just lucky. When I say the Total PH system advertised in an email to me - that was the first time I ever heard of using CO2 to lower the ph. Although the price is high, I decided to buy one. The installation was easy, however the unit would not turn on. After talking with tech support and trying various things they requested the unit be returned to them for further testing. I was a bit shocked that such an expensive unit 'didn't work'. As it turned out I had a bad power adapter. The unit and power adapter was sent back to me and powered up fine. After getting some expert help from Alex in tech support, the unit is working fine and my ph is consistently at 7.4 - perfect. I would highly recommend this unit and forget about the ph imbalance and handling dangerous acids!

Q: Can this system be wired into my 110V pump timer and can it come configured for that?

Asked by: Bill - 5/17/2019

A: If you wanted to wire it like that you could, but it would be unnessecary for most applications. The system uses a pressure switch that lets it automatically run in sync with your pump, however you have it programmed to run via your timer.

Q: 1. Is there a particular grade of CO2 that is recommended for use in this system? I have identified a couple potential suppliers and they have medical, food and industrial grades of CO2 available. 2. Are the tank connections standardized so that if I obtain the CO2 locally it will work with the supplied regulator(s)?

Asked by: Mike - 4/26/2019

A: Great questions!

1) No, it's great that you have that many options but the system is so effective that you should get the cheapest option available to you.

2) Yes, with these tank sizes (20lb, 35lb, even 50lb) they use a standardized regulator.

Q: What's the minimum pressure required for the system to operate? What typical minimum RPM is needed with variable speed pumps?

Asked by: Alak - 10/19/2020

A: If you’re using a variable speed pump, make sure there is at least 4-5 lbs. of pressure in the filter. The RPM's required vary depending on your pool equipment set up, but 1500 rpm is usually a safe recommendation. This ensures that the system’s pressure sensor gets triggered and that you get energy-efficient water flow.

Q: How often do you have to refill the CO2 tank?

Asked by: Richard H - 9/21/2018

A: 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: under "CO2 Tanks & Sizing
