8.0 Appendix
8.1 WATER CHEMISTRY RANGES
(These ranges are in accordance with suggested NSPI
Standards for swimming pools.)
pH: 7.4 -7.6
Alkalinity: Approx. 80-120 ppm ** (parts per million)
Higher levels may be acceptable in areas where it
naturally occurs in the local water supply.
Consult a pool professional in your area.
Cyanuric Acid: 0-50 ppm.
Maintain at 30 ppm or less for best probe life.*
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): 300 - 2000 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 200-400 ppm
Free Chlorine: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm (> 700 millivolts ORP)
*20-30 ppm of cyanuric acid provides approx. 95% of the shielding effect for chlorine.
**When using tri-chlor, recommended alkalinity is 95-125 ppm.
