Pool Chemical Balancing

Proper pool chemical balancing is vital for maintaining safe and sanitary swimming water. Regular testing of pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels helps prevent issues like algae growth and waterborne diseases. Adjusting chemicals based on test results ensures pH levels around 7.4-7.6 and chlorine levels of 2-4 ppm, ensuring effective sanitization without causing skin or eye irritation. Alkalinity should be maintained between 80-120 ppm, while calcium hardness around 200-400 ppm prevents equipment corrosion. Diligent chemical balancing promotes water clarity, extends equipment life, and enhances the overall swimming experience while safeguarding the health of swimmers.
