Balancing water chemistry at home

Water chemistry is the foundation of pool maintenance. Homeowners should regularly test pH, alkalinity, chlorine, stabilizer, and calcium hardness.

Professional Pool Company recommends keeping pH between 7.2–7.6, alkalinity between 80–120 ppm, and chlorine at recommended levels for your system.

Proper balancing prevents scaling, staining, algae growth, and equipment damage.
