What is the proper chemical balance for my pool?
Maintain the pH between 7.4-7.8 at all times. Your pH is likely to increase as the plaster cures during the first year. Check pH at least twice weekly and adjust if necessary. Have your water professionally checked for Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness and Metals monthly! Be sure to follow normal chlorinating and shock procedures as detailed in the POOL CARE GUIDE from Artistic Pools.
