In simple terms, total alkalinity refers to how much
alkaline is in the water. But you can’t fully know
the importance of total alkalinity
without referring to pH because
the two go hand-in-hand. High
alkaline water leads to high pH.
Low alkaline water leads to
low pH. For now, just
remember that the
average swimming pool
should have an alkalinty
reading of 100
ppm. And, if both pH
and alkalinity need
to be adjusted,
always balance
alkalinity fi rst.
