"Enjoy Your pool ... Enjoy Your Life"
Total alkalinity is a measure of all alkaline substances found in the pool water. To prevent the pH from "drifting" up and down, the total alkalinity must be maintained between 80 - 120 ppm
Low total alkalinity can result in pH bounce, fluctuations, and corrosiveness.
High total alkalinity can cause the pH to flucuate, cloudy water and scaling.
