When testing pool water, it is important to check for the following parameters: 1. Chlorine/Bromine: Chlorine and bromine are used to sanitize pool water and keep it safe for swimming. The ideal range is 1.0-3.0 ppm (parts per million). 2. pH: The pH should be kept between 7.2 and 7.6, as this is the ideal range for swimmers. 3. Alkalinity: Alkalinity helps to buffer pH and should be kept between 80-120 ppm. 4. Calcium Hardness: Calcium hardness helps to prevent corrosion in the pool and should be kept between 200-400 ppm. 5. Cyanuric Acid: Cyanuric acid helps to stabilize chlorine and should be kept between 30-50 ppm. 6. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS is a measure of the total amount of dissolved particles in the pool water and should be kept between 500-2500 ppm.
