TAYLOR TEST KIT K2005 WATER CHEMISTRY TEST IDEAL RANGES AND TEST KIT LIMITATIONS
The LSI is a measurement of water balance, as defined by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) saturation. It determines if water is aggressive/corrosive (low LSI), balanced, or scale-forming (high LSI). The Six Factors of the LSI are pH, Water Temp, Calcium Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Cyanuric Acid, & Total Dissolved Solids
Chemical quality – Chemicals used in controlling the quality of the pool water shall be tested and approved using the NSF/ANSI Standard 60-2011, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals-Health Effects dated May 2011, which is incorporated by reference in these rules and shall be compatible with other accepted chemicals used in pools. The following parameters shall be adhered to for pool water treatment:
