Levels
Chlorine: 1-3 ppm। pH: 7.2-7.6। Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm। Indian summer heat: faster bacterial growth = more frequent testing (daily during peak use)。 Chlorine tablets: easiest maintenance method。
Maintenance
Test: 2-3×/week season। Shock: weekly。 Professional service: ₹3,000-8,000/month。
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The most cost-effective pool chemical: liquid chlorine (12.5% sodium hypochlorite). At $4-6 per gallon, it is cheaper per dose than tablets or granular, and it does not add cyanuric acid (CYA) — which builds up from tablets and eventually makes chlorine ineffective. Use liquid chlorine for daily dosing and cal-hypo for shocking.
