How To Test Pool Water Quality At Home

Written By Matt Simpson

Use a reliable pool water testing kit to examine pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabiliser levels.

pH: 7.2 - 7.8

Chlorine: 1-3 ppm

Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm

Calcium hardness: 200-400 ppm

Stabilizer (cyanuric acid): 30-50 ppm
