Chemistry includes a variety of chemicals such as chlorine and non-chlorine disinfectants, pH adjusters, alkalinity and water hardness. These substances have different roles in maintaining pool water quality.

Proper pool chemistry is essential to maintaining safe, healthy and clean pool water. When adjusting pool chemistry, it is important to measure and monitor the pH, alkalinity, water hardness and sanitizer levels to keep them in compliance with prescribed standards.
