Pool Water Chemistry Log

Free pool water chemistry log (Excel): one sheet per pool for FC, pH, alkalinity, CYA, calcium, and salt — with a printed ideal-range band and chemicals-added column. No signup.

Company / operator

Optional. Printed on the sheet header.

Printed name string — not a tracked assignment.

Pool / sheet header

Add a pool name so the printed sheet is identifiable — one sheet covers one pool.

Optional.

Reference only — printed on the sheet. This log does not calculate doses.

Pool type

Informs the calcium-hardness target note only — changes no computation.

Temperature unit

Printed in the header — which span this sheet covers.

Typical residential targets — not a compliance standard. See the operating-minimum note for regulated facilities.

  • Free chlorine (FC) 2–4 ppm
  • pH 7.4–7.6
  • Total alkalinity (TA) 80–120 ppm
  • Cyanuric acid (CYA) 30–50 ppm
  • Calcium hardness (CH) 200–400 ppm

Each band = typical residential target — not a compliance standard.

How this log works / what the bands mean

This is a blank record sheet, not a calculator. One sheet covers one pool; you write one row per test date — date, time, water temp, and the readings for free chlorine (FC), pH, total alkalinity (TA), cyanuric acid (CYA), calcium hardness (CH), and — for saltwater pools — salt, plus the chemicals you added and a note. It computes nothing: no dose, no in-range score, no average.

The reference band printed above the grid shows each parameter's typical residential target — it is a printed guide, not a compliance standard and not an automatic pass/fail check. Free chlorine's ideal band is 2–4 ppm; the separate 1 ppm figure below it is the CDC operating minimum for public pools, which is a different thing — an operating floor, not the ideal target.

The °F/°C and gal/L toggles only relabel the printed column and header — they convert no value. You write the reading in whichever unit you chose. To turn a reading into a chemical dose, use the linked dosing calculators; this log deliberately does not do dosing math.

Nothing is saved. There is no stored history, no roster, and no cross-session state — every value lives in the file you download or on the printout.
