How Much of <Pool Chemical> do I need?Updated a year ago

The correct answer to that question depends on a number of factors

• Current Chemical Reading
• Pool Volume

You cannot just get a bottle of chemical and dump it into your pool. You will first need to test the current level of chemicals that you need. We recommend using a 7-in-1 pool test kit to get a good look at your current chemical levels.

Recommended Chemical Levels / Chemical Notes

• Pool Chlorine: 2 to 3 ppm
• Alkalinity Levels: 80 to 120 ppm
• Calcium Levels: 200 to 400 ppm
• Cyanuric Acid Levels: 30 to 50 ppm
