1) Chlorine and pH tests<br />

Record <strong>the</strong>se values, but do not make any adjustment right away. Start with <strong>the</strong> chlorine: if it is too high, it<br />

will affect <strong>the</strong> pH.<br />

Bring a water sample to <strong>the</strong> store to have <strong>the</strong> following tests done free of charge.<br />

2) Alkalinity test<br />

Even though <strong>the</strong> range starts at 80 ppm, aim for 100 ppm. When <strong>the</strong> adjustment has been made, take <strong>the</strong><br />

pH reading again, and adjust if necessary. Then, if <strong>the</strong> chlorine is weak or not registering, give <strong>the</strong> water a<br />

shock treatment.<br />

3) Hardness test<br />

This analysis will detect <strong>the</strong> presence of minerals in <strong>the</strong> water. Make sure alkalinity, pH, and chlorine are<br />

perfectly balanced before performing this test so that <strong>the</strong> results are accurate.<br />

4) Isocyanuric acid test<br />

This test is rarely done, and only on an as-needed basis. If you notice that <strong>the</strong> chlorine is evaporating too<br />

quickly, or that it is not evaporating at all, and all o<strong>the</strong>r values are normal, bring a water sample to your<br />

<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Piscine</strong> Super Fitness store for an isocyanuric acid test.<br />
