Hello. I am a new member and just received my TF Pro test kit. I’m also new to pool maintenance.
My question is about the acceptable level of alkalinity in the pool water. I just downloaded the Pool Math app to my phone and it is telling me that the acceptable alkalinity rate in the pool is between 50 and 90 ppm. My pool tested at 100 ppm today. When I look at the other information out there, it seems that it’s more common to have an acceptable range of 80 to 120 ppm for alkalinity and when I plug 100 to my target range in the app it keeps telling me that it is too high, so I am wondering which information is correct. Or is it somewhat of a moving target depending on what you’d like to see in your pool?
I would love to have some advice from you, experts…… because I am far from an expert.
Thank you in advance!
Jeremy
