With that said, if a facility wishes to exceed the current levels found at N.J.A.C. 8:26-7.8, ‘a maximum of 4.0 ppm for free chlorine in swimming pools’, the NJDHSS will require that all public pool water quality to be within the acceptable standards for all other parameters:
1. pH (7.2 – 7.8),
2. combined chlorine (<.2),
3. total alkalinity (60 to 180),
4. stabilizer (cyanuric acid - 10 to 100 ppm and only in outdoor pools) and;
5. pool water clarity (the deepest portion of the pool floor shall be clearly visible from the swimming pool's edge).
