Is your pool constantly out of balance no matter what you do?

The problem might be your total alkalinity.

In this episode of the Chlorine King Podcast, we continue our Pool Chemical Series by breaking down total alkalinity—what it is, why it matters, and how it affects your entire pool chemistry.

If your alkalinity is off, it can cause:

  • Unstable pH levels
  • Cloudy water
  • Inefficient chlorine
  • Scaling or corrosion issues

We cover:

  • What total alkalinity actually does
  • The ideal alkalinity range for pools
  • How alkalinity controls pH stability
  • How to raise or lower alkalinity properly
  • Common mistakes pool owners make
  • Why alkalinity should be adjusted before pH

Whether you're a homeowner or a pool service professional, this episode will help you get your water balanced the right way.
