LSI vs Range Chemistry

Send us a Text Message.

Summary

Rudy Stankowitz steps in for Dan on Memorial Day to discuss the importance of balancing total alkalinity and pH in pool chemistry. He addresses the division between range chemistry and LSI, emphasizing the importance of both and how they can be used together. Rudy provides detailed insights into the ideal ranges for calcium hardness, total alkalinity, and pH, and explains how they contribute to pool water balance. He also discusses the impact of high cyanuric acid levels and the role of anti-corrosion products in municipal water on pool chemistry. Rudy concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining balance in pool water chemistry for optimal performance and safety.
