    I'm not sure of the chemistry behind it, but that's correct with SWG manufacturers... 60 - 80 ppm for Pool Pilot and chlorine levels at about 3 ppm is more than sufficient to maintain your pool crystal clear. All other water chemistry parameters considered to ensure proper water balance (Saturation Index).

    Most commercial guidelines recommend 100 ppm as the maximum stabilizer level allowable in a public pool.

    In light of recent studies down I would set an upper limit of 100 ppm for a plaster pool since it has been suggested that higher levels can cause damage to the plaster surface. Remeber that any aggragate finish (DiamondBrite, etc.) is actually plaster
