What should the alkalinity level be in a swimming pool?

The alkalinity ideal levels will vary between 80-120ppm please see; Total Alkalinity For Your Swimming Pool http://www.inyopools.com/pool-101-total-alkalinity.aspx 80-100 is most preferred, however, it is best to consult with the builder of the pool to request the specific chemistry ranges for your surface type.

Cons: None
First product ordered from INYO and pleased with service. Great communication and fast shipping. Not a whole lot to say about this product - chemicals are chemicals to me right now as a new-ish pool owner. Seems at least as good quality as the other brands I have bought in the past though.
