how often should commercial pool chemical balance be checked
What are the correct levels I should be looking for in my pool chemicals? Balanced water has a pH level of 7.4 and 7.6. A total alkalinity range of about 80-120 ppm. Chlorine in the range of 1.0-3.0ppm. If your pH, your total alkalinity and your calcium hardness is too low, metal corrosion and. staining of the pool plaster can occur. If your pH, your total alkalinity and your calcium hardness. is too high, scaling, cloudy water and discolored plaster can occur. You should check your pool chemicals at least once a week, and adjust accordingly.
