Total alkalinity is closely associated with pH but rather than a measure of hydrogen ion concentration it is a measure of the ability of a solution to neutralize hydrogen ions. Expressed in parts per million (ppm), total alkalinity is the result of alkaline materials including carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides - mostly bicarbonates. This acid neutralizing (buffering) capacity of water is desirable because it helps prevent wide variations in pH whenever small amounts of acid or alkali are added to the pool. Total alkalinity is a measure of water's resistance to change in pH.

How do you decrease the chlorine ppm in your pool?
Use muriatic acid.
What does ppm stand for when putting chemicals in a swimming pool?
Parts per million
What is a safe chlorine for swimming?
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K
How do you decrease chlorine ppm in swimming pools?
Drain some of your pool and refill it with fresh water.
Can you swim in a pool that has high free chlorine?
Chlorine levels should be between 1-5 ppm
Is it safe to swim in a pool with chlorine level of 5?
Chlorine is measured in ppm (Parts Per Million). "Level 5" is probably specific to whichever brand pool test you are using. I would refer to the manual.
How do you check the ppm of salt in a salt system pool?
You can buy salt test strips and electronic salt testers at any good pool supply store - Leslie's carries them.
What should be the salt level be on a salt system pool?
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.
What should the chlorine level be in a pool?
Residential pools: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm; Commercial pools: 3.0 ppm - 5.0 ppm; Bromine levels: 4.0 - 6.0 ppm
Test Results are 250 ppm Cyanuric Acid and 660 ppm hardness the color of the water is clear light green. TDS is 1100 ppm and the size if 15187 gallons What should I do?
Since your CYA levels are 250, you're going to have to drain the pool and start over. There is no chemical made to reduce CYA levels. When you refill the pool, maintain a CYA level from 40-60ppm.
What is the Concentration of bleach to water in pools?
Chlorine should be kept between 1-3 ppm at all times. Below that and the water is not sufficeintly sanitized. Above that and you should not enter the pool. A test kit will tell you the ppm, adust as needed daily. Pool & Spa
How much chlorine should you put in an 18-foot swimming pool?
Enough to bring the readings to within 1.5 to 5.0 ppm. Ues a test kit!!
How much stabilizer do you add in a 30000 liter saltwater pool when the test strip color shows too low?
Not sure what too low means, But you need in an outdoor pool about 80 PPM of Stabelizer and in an indoor pool around 10 to 20 PPM. We have a new product called pool magic which each gallon adds 20PPM stabelizer per Regular cyanuric acid has a low pH and is very acidic and it can take 4 to 7 days to dissolve. This can cause damage to the pool surface or circulation system depending on the method of application. Until dissolved, dry cyanuric acid will not protect chlorine from UV loss. Natural Chemistry�s Instant Pool Water Conditioner is not an acid (it�s a salt) and has a pool friendly pH of about 8.0. Add it to the pool and an instant later it is in solution and ready to protect your chlorine.

What is ppm in a swimming pool?
PPM = Parts Per MillionA measurement of the concentration, or mixing ratio of one substance in another.
What should ppm be in a salt water pool?
Do you mean to say that you have a fresh water pool with a Chlorine Generator which uses salt? Or do you in fact have a salt water pool? bob...
Will it harm you if you swim in an indoor pool with the chlorine reading 8 ppm?
No
