Key Parameters
| Parameter | Significance |
|---|---|
| pH |
Acceptable Level: 7.2 – 7.6 Keeping pH in the ideal range is critical for swimmer comfort. Low pH makes water acidic, corroding pool equipment and causing skin burns, while high pH leads to scale buildup and reduces sanitizer efficiency. |
| Total Alkalinity |
Acceptable Level: 80 – 120 ppm Total Alkalinity acts as a buffer that stabilizes your pH level. If TA is too low, your pH will fluctuate wildly, making water balance impossible to manage. If it is too high, adjusting a stubborn pH level becomes extremely difficult. |
| Total Chlorine |
Acceptable Level: 1 – 4 ppm Total Chlorine is the sum of free chlorine and used chlorine (chloramines). When used chlorine builds up, it creates that classic, irritating pool smell and causes severe eye stinging, signaling that the pool needs a shock treatment. |
| Free Chlorine |
Acceptable Level: 1 – 4 ppm Free Chlorine is the active sanitizer that destroys harmful bacteria, viruses, and algae in the water. Maintaining this ideal range ensures the water remains sanitary, safe, and crystal clear for swimmers. |
| Total Hardness |
Acceptable Level: 200 – 500 ppm Total Hardness measures the calcium and magnesium levels in the water. Low hardness makes the water aggressive, causing it to leach calcium directly from pool plaster and grout. High hardness results in rough scale buildup and filtration issues. |
| Cyanuric Acid |
Acceptable Level: 30 – 50 ppm (For best results, maintain pH between 7.0–8.4) Known as a "chlorine stabilizer," Cyanuric Acid protects free chlorine from being destroyed by the sun's UV rays. Without proper CA levels, sunlight can deplete your chlorine in just a few hours, leaving your pool unprotected. |
