C. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
MEASUREMENT RECOMMENDED LEVEL DETAILS
FREE CHLORINE
1.0 - 3.0 PPM
Recommended level for residential pools to keep chlorine at a proper
range for sanitization
pH
7.2 - 7.6
High pH reduces sanitizer efficiency. Low pH damages pool surfaces and
irritates skin and eyes
TOTAL ALKALINITY
(
TA
)
80 - 100 PPM Protects pH and prevents rapid pH "bounce"
CYANURIC ACID / STABILIZER
30 - 50 PPM
Protects chlorine from destruction by sunlight. Must be added manually
with salt chlorine systems
CALCIUM HARDNESS
200 - 400 PPM
Excess calcium can increase scaling problems. Low calcium (soft water)
can damage surfaces
PHOSPHATES ZERO Can deplete free available chlorine
SALT RESIDUAL
4,000 - 4,500 PPM
Ideal level for chlorine production. Powerclean Salt systems will operate
at 3,000 - 35,000 PPM
