Comments From Our Pros

Answer: 7.4-7.6
Explanation: Free chlorine: 1–3 ppm (2–4 ppm for saltwater pools) Total alkalinity: 80–120 ppm Calcium hardness: 200–400 ppm (fiberglass pools can be on the lower end, around 200–300 ppm) Cyanuric acid (stabilizer): 30–50 ppm (60–80 ppm for saltwater pools) As a pool maintenance professional, testing the water weekly and adjusting the pH before adding other chemicals will help keep pools clear and make the sanitizer work more effectively.
