5 things you have to know about German guys: 1. They are responsible. Of course Iâm generalizing in all of these points. But every generalization is partly true. They like having fun, but only when itâs appropriate. If you come from Latin lands and shout when talking, youâll scare him.
The ideal range for calcium hardness is 250-350 ppm. If the calcium hardness is too low, the water becomes corrosive and results in the etching of the pool's surfaces. Metals corrode - and this includes pool equipment, pipe fittings and pump connections. As a result, the pool's walls and floor can stain.
We use a good test kit (with fresh testing reagents) to measure the chemical levels of pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Any good discussion on pool water balance would certainly cover some definitions on pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness levels in pools.
