Pool Water Chemistry
Maintaining proper water chemistry is crucial for pool safety and longevity.
- pH Level (7.2-7.6) Affects sanitizer effectiveness and swimmer comfort.
- Chlorine (1-3 ppm) Primary sanitizer for pool water.
- Alkalinity (80-120 ppm) Helps stabilize pH levels.
- Calcium Hardness (200-400 ppm) Prevents plaster damage.
