1) Chlorine and pH tests
Record these values, but do not make any adjustment right away. Start with the chlorine: if it is too high, it
will affect the pH.
Bring a water sample to the store to have the following tests done free of charge.
2) Alkalinity test
Even though the range starts at 80 ppm, aim for 100 ppm. When the adjustment has been made, take the
pH reading again, and adjust if necessary. Then, if the chlorine is weak or not registering, give the water a
shock treatment.
3) Hardness test
This analysis will detect the presence of minerals in the water. Make sure alkalinity, pH, and chlorine are
perfectly balanced before performing this test so that the results are accurate.
4) Isocyanuric acid test
This test is rarely done, and only on an as-needed basis. If you notice that the chlorine is evaporating too
quickly, or that it is not evaporating at all, and all other values are normal, bring a water sample to your
Club Piscine Super Fitness store for an isocyanuric acid test.
