What is the ideal pH level for the pool?

The pH level is an important indicator of the properties of the water. Checking this helps assess the ability of the pipes and containers to corrode metals. The pH of water, if not checked and balanced carefully, will bring along many harmful health effects such as skin, hair, and eyes, or more dangerous (if regularly drunk or swallowed) can cause digestive and intestinal problems. 

For swimming pools, the standard pH level is 7.4 – 7.6
