Winter Chemical Balance

Prior to closing the pool, make sure your water is chemically balanced. Adjust chemical levels if necessary. This is a very important step because chemically balanced water protects the pool from corrosion or scale buildup that can occur during the period the pool is shut down. Your chemical levels should be as follows:

•pH: 7.2 – 7.6
•Alkalinity: 80 – 120 parts per million
•Calcium Hardness: 175 – 250 parts per million
•Chlorine: 1 – 3 parts per million
