Wait and retest
- Add only by the label method, circulate, and keep swimmers out until a reliable retest is back in range.
- Retest after the label's circulation interval and before swimming.

Free chlorine: 1 ppm Free chlorine is below the CDC minimum for this profile
Free chlorine is the sanitizer available to control germs. The app aims for 3 ppm here so the correction finishes inside the normal 2–4 ppm operating band instead of barely reaching the minimum.
First addition: 46.1 fl oz
What to use: 10% liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite)
What to do: Correct pH safety stops when the product label requires it. Add sanitizer alone with circulation running.
Circulate and retest: Circulate 30 minutes; retest after 2 hours, or longer if the label requires.
Keep separate: Do not add acid, another sanitizer, shock or algaecide during the wait.
Water temperature: 80°F Temperature adds context to the water result
Temperature can change sanitizer demand, scale tendency, swimmer comfort, and equipment behavior, but it is not corrected with a pool chemical.
Amount: No chemical addition
What to use: Use temperature and equipment controls
What to do: Check the heater and salt-cell operating limits in their manuals. Warm water may need more frequent sanitizer testing.
Circulate and retest: Record temperature with the next water test and after major weather or heater changes.
Water clarity: Clear; bottom visible Water visibility is on target
Clear water and full bottom visibility support safer swimming and make changes in debris, staining, or circulation easier to spot. Clarity does not replace sanitizer and pH testing.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Check visibility before swimming and whenever the water appearance changes.
pH: 7.4 pH is in the preferred operating range
This pH supports effective sanitation and is within the preferred comfort range used by the app. Avoiding unnecessary adjustments reduces chemical swings.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Retest before the next swim day or after heavy use or rain.
Combined chlorine: 0 ppm Combined chlorine is on target
This value is calculated from total chlorine minus free chlorine. The difference is within the app's normal operating threshold.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Retest with the next routine chlorine check or sooner after heavy use.
Total alkalinity: 90 ppm Total alkalinity is on target
The measured alkalinity is within the saved surface-profile range and should help pH remain more stable.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Retest weekly.
Cyanuric acid: 40 ppm Stabilizer is on target
The measured stabilizer is within the routine target used for this non-salt pool profile.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Retest monthly and after major water replacement.
Calcium hardness: 260 ppm Calcium hardness is on target
The reading is within the saved target for this pool surface and does not call for a calcium correction.
Amount: No addition
What to use: Keep your regular routine
What to do: This result is in range.
Circulate and retest: Retest monthly.
