"The ideal pH level for a swimming pool is typically between 7.2 and 7.8, with 7.4 being considered optimal. This range ensures the water is comfortable for swimmers and helps prevent issues like eye irritation and corrosion of pool equipment. Regular testing and adjustment are key to maintaining a balanced pH level."
