Proper Pool Levels
As widely used and popular chlorine is, it is not the exclusive element in the proper maintenance of your pool. Other chemicals are used such as sodium bicarbonate, muriatic acid, algaecides, and several others.
A properly balanced pool should range, in most cases, within the following levels:
• Chlorine between 1 and 3 ppm.
• pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
• Hardness between 200 and 400 mg/l.
• Alkalinity between 80 and 150 mg/l.
Besides chemicals; filtration is extremely important. Your pool pump and filtration system needs to run for a minimum of 8 hours every day. This will ensure proper purification and disinfection for a healthy pool.
