Wondering how much chlorine to add to your pool? Keep levels between 1–3 ppm, test daily, shock weekly, and enjoy safe, clear water all season.

If cyanuric acid is too high, the fix is dilution. Drain part of the pool, refill with fresh water, and retest until CYA returns to 30–50 ppm.

Pool closing: clean/vacuum, balance, shock, drain & protect equipment/lines, add air pillow, tighten cover, check every few weeks.

Expect to pay $60–$180/month for above-ground pools and $90–$250/month for in-ground pools. Total yearly costs typically run $720–$3,000+.

Swimming pool chemistry involves pH (7.2-7.6), alkalinity (80-120 ppm), calcium hardness (200-400 ppm), chlorine (1-3 ppm), and TDS (below 1500 ppm).

Unbalanced pool pH can cause skin irritation, algae growth, and damage to your system. Maintain pH between 7.2–7.8 for clear, healthy, and safe water.
