pH stands for “potential of hydrogen,” and the pH level in a swimming pool measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. It is a scale ranging from 0 to 14, with 7 considered neutral. A pH below 7 indicates acidity, while a pH above 7 indicates alkalinity. Maintaining the proper pH level in a pool is important for swimmer comfort, the effectiveness of pool chemicals, and the longevity of pool equipment.
