| TEST | IDEAL RANGE | IF BELOW IDEAL RANGE | IF ABOVE IDEAL RANGE |
| Total Alkalinity | 125-150 ppm | Use Azure Alkalinity Booster Dangers: If alkalinity is too low pH will not stay in the correct range. |
Use Azure pH Decreaser Dangers: If alkalinity is too hight, pH becomes fixed and can lead to scaling. |
| pH | 7.2 -7.6 | Use Azure pH Increaser Dangers: Low pH may cause corrosion of metals and eye irritation. |
Use Azure pH Decreaser Dangers: High pH reduces sanitizer efficiency and can lead to scale formation and cloudy water. |
| Calcium Hardness | 200-500 ppm | Use Azure Calcium Hardness Increaser Dangers: Low hardness leads to corrosion of pool equipment and etching of plaster. |
Drain off some water and fill with fresh water Dangers: High Hardness leads to scaling and cloudy water. |
| Stabilizer | 30-150 ppm | Use Azure Stabilizer and Conditioner Dangers: Sunlight causes chlorine to dissipate; adding conditioner helps slow this process. |
Drain off some water and fill with fresh water. Dangers: High Stabilizer levels can lead to the chlorine being less effective. |
