Typical ranges: free chlorine 2–4 ppm · combined chlorine as low as possible · pH 7.2–7.6 · total alkalinity 80–120 ppm · calcium hardness 200–400 ppm · CYA 30–50 ppm · salt 2,700–3,400 ppm (salt pools). Targets vary by pool type, sanitizer, and local health code.

How to use this log sheet

Keep one sheet per week, per route or per pool. After testing, write each reading in its column, then list every chemical you added with the amount, like "1 gal liquid chlorine, 16 oz muriatic acid". Initials show who serviced the pool if a customer or inspector asks later.

Combined chlorine is total chlorine minus free chlorine. Leave the salt column blank for pools without a salt system. To see whether the readings add up to balanced water, run them through the free pool LSI calculator.

Commercial pools may have extra logging rules from the state or county health department.
