Whether you are a commercial swimming pool owner or a public pool owner, there are some key water chemistry points to keep in mind when servicing the water in swimming pools. There are some daily maintenance tasks to take care of, as well as some things to look at over the course of a week and even months. First off, the chlorine level in the swimming pool should be checked daily. Depending on how often the pool is used determines on how the chlorine levels fluctuate. The same goes for the pH levels in your swimming pool.  Make sure that those water chemistry levels stay between 7.2 and 7.8.

On a weekly basis, the chlorine and chloramine levels should be monitored. Chloramine levels raise when there are oils and other contaminants in the swimming pool water. When chloraminelevels rise, the smell of the water increases. So, if the chloramine levels are above 0.4 ppm, it needs to be lowered through hyperchlorination.

The water chemistry levels that should be checked monthly are the alkalinity, calcium hardness as well as the usual chlorine and pH. These things are important to keep in mind throughout the swimming pool season, especially if the weather is hot. Be sure to stay on top of these water chemistry levels if the water is being used daily.
