Total alkalinity is a way of measuring the water's ability to neutralize acidity. Your water's alkalinity levels are directly related to your water's pH; the higher the total alkalinity, the higher the pH levels of your pool's water will be. pH levels measure how acidic or basic substances are. The pH scale has a range between 0 and 14, with a neutral pH at 7. Besides the pH and alkaline levels, these are also important considerations. Make sure you understand what they are and how they benefit your water.  Chlorine is used to disinfect and sanitize the water. Calcium hardness refers to the amount of calcium present in the water. If the calcium levels are too low your water will become corrosive, potentially ruining the body of your pool. Cyanuric acid protects the chlorine in the water from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Total dissolved solids are mainly composed of inorganic salts (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonates, chlorides and sulfates) and small amounts of other organic materials dissolved in the water. Keep these recommended level ranges in mind.  pH: 7.2 - 7.8 Total alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm Chlorine: 1.0 - 2.0 ppm Cyanuric Acid: 40 - 80 ppm Calcium hardness: 180 - 220 ppm, though some say 200 - 400 Total Dissolved Solids: below 5000 ppm When you test your pool's water, you should observe certain timelines in order for your pool to function well, and for the water to stay clean and healthy. Each element, like the pH for example, has to be tested at a specific point. Some professionals advise daily testing, which can be difficult for many people. Keep the following timeframes in mind to ensure proper pool functions:  pH should be tested twice a week. Total alkalinity should be tested once a week, and at least once a month. Chlorine should be tested twice a week. Cyanuric acid should be tested twice a season. Calcium hardness should be tested twice a season. Total dissolved solids should be tested once a week, and at least once a month.
