What chemicals do I need for my above ground pool?
Things you’ll be testing for include chlorine, PH, total alkalinity, Cyanuric acid (stabilizer), and calcium hardness. The levels need to be properly balanced for safe and clean water before swimming in it. The free chlorine level should be between 2.0 and 4.0 ppm. The PH level should be between 7.2 and 7.8.

What should your pool levels be?
A pool that is “balanced” has proper levels of pH, Total Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness. These are: pH: 7.2-7.8, Total Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness, 180-220 ppm and Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer): 30-50 ppm. Chlorine levels should remain constant in the 1-3 ppm range.
