Your pool water might look clear, but if pH and alkalinity aren’t properly balanced, you could be facing hidden problems from swimmer discomfort to expensive damage and poor sanitation.
Here’s what you need to know:
Allowed Ranges:
* pH: 7.0 – 8.0
* Total Alkalinity: 60 – 180 ppm
Optimal Ranges (for best performance):
* pH: 7.2 – 7.8
* Alkalinity: 80 – 120 ppm
What happens when pH is not balanced?
* When pH is too low, water becomes acidic and corrosive, damaging through time metal parts, pool equipment, plaster, and even your skin and eyes.
* When pH is too high, water can scale and leave deposits on the pool walls, tile, and equipment, reducing efficiency and requiring costly cleaning.
* Poor alkalinity control makes pH bounce unpredictably, making proper water chemistry nearly impossible to maintain.
