The accepted range in the pool industry is 80-120 ppm. If using isocyanurate chlorines, 100-140 is more acceptable. The reason is that as cyanuric acid levels increase, the more it gives a false reading on most test kits for Total Alkalinity. Use a Taylor Test Kit and read the instructions, especially the last page where it explains the formula for getting a true TA reading.

80-120 ppm. If the level of alkalinity is low or high it can cause clouded water and pH fluctuation.
