Key Parameters to Test Weekly
pH should be 7.2 to 7.6. Free Chlorine should be 1.0 to 3.0 ppm. Total Alkalinity should be 80 to 120 ppm. Calcium Hardness should be 200 to 400 ppm.
Summer Tips for Indian Climate
High temperatures and UV radiation destroy chlorine faster. In summer test daily and consider a UV sterilizer to reduce chlorine consumption by 50 percent.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Never add chlorine directly without diluting as it causes bleaching of tiles. Never ignore pH because chlorine is 90 percent ineffective above pH 8.0. DS Water Technology offers monthly chemical supply contracts and AMC packages with weekly water testing.
