Total Alkalinity measures all the hydroxides, carbonates and alkaline that is in your pool's water. Your Total Alkalinity or (TA) levels should be 80-120 ppm. Total Alkalinity strongly influences your pH level, so if your pH is off, be sure to check the alkalinity. Total Alkalinity strongly influences your pH levels, so if you notice the pH is off, be sure to check the alkalinity. When your alkalinity level drops below 80 ppm, pH will begin to fluctuate dangerously causing water to become acidic and corrosive.
