General Pool & Spa Chemical Levels


What are the proper chemical and mineral levels in a pool and hot tub?

Always maintain an adequate sanitizer level at all times to kill bacteria;
If Bromine is your selected sanitizer, then the ideal level is 5-10 ppm in a spa and 3-5ppm in a swimming pool;
when Chlorine is your selected sanitizer, then the ideal level is 3–5 ppm in a spa and 1.5-3ppm in a swimming pool.
Salt water pools should have a salt level of 2700ppm-3500ppm. Please refer to your owners manual for your specific salt unit.

Maintain pH level at 7.4–7.6;

Maintain Alkalinity at 125–150 ppm;

Maintain Calcium Hardness at 150–200 ppm.

The stabilizer level in pools should be 60-80 ppm

TDS should be below 1500ppm (except in salt water)

Your Pool water is precious and prevention is MUCH less work and $$ than the cure!
