After testing, you can make the necessary adjustments. If the alkalinity is 50 ppm or lower, test for the presence of metals in the water before adjusting the alkalinity. | ||||||
For More Pool Chemicals
I just purchased a house with a pool. I tested the pool water and according to the chart, I need to adjust the pH, alkalinity, chlorine and calcium hardness levels. How much of each do I need to add to my pool?

The amounts of each chemical you will need to add will depend on the volume of the swimming pool (gallons) and the actual chemical levels. You can use our How To Guide for reference.

What should the alkalinity level be in a swimming pool?
Reply
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.
