Looking for a better understanding...

[Danjones0212]

Hello everyone!

so I have been maintaining my own pool for about 2 months now. I have a much better feel, understanding, and confidence in maintaining my pool. (thanks to the peeps here!) Now am venturing into the "why's, how's, and what if's" of maintaining my pool.

I'm looking for information on what the best levels are. And not just someone telling me the best levels but why they are the best levels... Im looking more into the "meat and potatoes".

Thanks for any help and/or input anyone can offer!

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan,

Well I suspect you've seen the recommended levels, right? This is the "someone telling you what". Link for reference, just because.
Pool School - Recommended Levels

And probably you've read the ABC's right? This is to give just a hint of what effects what....

As for the meat and potatos, put your science hat on, because here it is. The science behind the method.
