Chemical Balance
Sanitizer (e.g., Chlorine): Tested and maintained at 1-3 ppm to kill bacteria and viruses.
pH Level (7.4-7.6): Adjusted for swimmer comfort (preventing eye/skin irritation) and maximizing sanitizer effectiveness.
Total Alkalinity (80-120 ppm): Acts as a buffer to stabilize the pH and prevent major fluctuations.
Water Hardness: Monitored to protect surfaces and equipment from corrosion or scaling.
Pool Shock: Applied regularly to neutralize contaminants from heavy use or weather.
