What is Alkalinity and what is the proper level for my pool?
Alkalinity is the measure of certain minerals in the water. These minerals act as buffering agents And allow you to readily control your pH when in the correct range. If alkalinity is too low, pH Will fluctuate excessively. If alkalinity is too high, pH resists adjustment, and cloudy water or scale may develop. For best results, maintain alkalinity between 80 to 120 PPM.
