🧪 Crystal-clear water starts with balanced pool chemistry.
Regular testing helps prevent algae, cloudy water, equipment damage, and swimmer discomfort.
Key levels to monitor:
✔️ pH: 7.2 – 7.6
✔️ Chlorine: 1 – 3 ppm
✔️ Total Alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm
✔️ Calcium Hardness: 200 – 400 ppm
Quick Tip: Test your pool water at least once a week and after heavy rain or periods of high pool use.
