Check the total alkalinity of the water using a test kit. The recommended level is generally between 80 and 120 ppm for chlorine pools and between 100 and 150 ppm for bromine pools.
Add the recommended amount based on the pool's volume to increase total alkalinity and stabilize pH. Distribute the product evenly over the water's surface while the filtration system is running to ensure proper distribution.

How to balance your pool water: 5 simple steps
In this video, we show you how to test your pool water and adjust key parameters (pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and chlorine) to keep your water clean, clear, and safe. Youâll also find tips on how to interpret results and take the right action. For more details, check out our guide on proper pool water balance.

Alkalinity is the first measurement to check. It acts as abufferto stabilize the pH. An incorrectly adjusted alkalinity leads to constant pH fluctuations.
Ideal value: between 80 and 120 ppm.
Advice: Always adjust the alkalinity BEFORE correcting the pH.

pH determines whether your water is acidic or alkaline. An unbalanced pH can damage equipment, irritate skin, or reduce the effectiveness of chlorine/bromine.
Ideal value: between 7.2 and 7.8.

Disinfectant kills bacteria and algae. Either can be used, but it's important not to mix them. A weekly shock treatment helps maintain optimal disinfectant levels and ensures clean, clear, and safe water at all times.
Target values:
Chlorine: 1 to 3 ppm.
Bromine: 2 to 4 ppm.
đ Never apply a shock treatment without first testing and adjusting alkalinity and pH.

Disinfectant kills bacteria and contaminants. Chlorine and bromine are both good options, but either can be used, but it's important not to mix them. A weekly shock treatment helps maintain optimal disinfectant levels and ensures clean, clear, and safe water at all times.
Target values:
Bromine: 1 to 3 ppm.
đ Never apply a shock treatment without first testing and adjusting alkalinity and pH.
If bromine levels are too high, there is no specific product to lower them in a spa. The best solution is to remove the cover for a few hours to allow the bromine to evaporate naturally. It is also possible to replace some of the water to reduce the concentration more quickly.
Target values:
bromine: 1 to 3 ppm.
đ Never perform a shock treatment without first testing and adjusting alkalinity and pH.
Water hardness measures the level of calcium in the water. Water that is too soft becomes corrosive, while water that is too hard leads to limescale deposits.
Target: 200 to 300 ppm.
đĄ This is particularly important to monitor in areas where the municipal water is naturally soft.
Excessive calcium hardness can cause limescale deposits to form on pool walls, equipment and filtration system.
Unlike other water parameters, there is generally no product to directly reduce calcium hardness. The solution is rather to drain some of the pool water and replace it with fresh water to dilute the calcium level and restore a proper water balance.
The stabilizer acts like a "sunscreen" for your chlorine. Without it, it degrades rapidly under UV rays.
Ideal value: between 30 and 50 ppm.
â ïž Too much stabilizer can impair the effectiveness of chlorine: test regularly.
AStabilizer too highIt can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine and prevent proper disinfection of pool water. When the level is too high, the chlorine becomes less active and algae or bacteria can develop more easily.
There is no product to reduce the stabilizer, so the solution is to drain some of the pool water and replace it with fresh water to dilute the stabilizer level.
Throughout the summer, it is your responsibility to test your water once a week with the help of strips or droplets. These tests will help keep your water clean, safe and enjoyable to swim in.Â
It is also very important to visit the store with a water sample once a month to have your water tested at the test counter for a complete analysis and to balance it properly. You will need to take a water sample that has been collected from your pool in a sterile bottle no more than 2 to 3 hours before the test.Â
To analyze the water, we will need to know the volume of water in your pool or the size of the pool and your sanitation system, either salt or chlorine. We will then be able to give you the appropriate recipe to make the water safe for the pool, the equipment and the swimmers.
This will yield important information, starting with your chlorine level. This should be kept between 1 and 3 ppm, or 1 if you have an ozonator. If you are having trouble keeping your chlorine level stable, it may be due to the pH, which should be between 7.4 and 7.6. A pH that is too high or too low will affect the chlorine. For example, the chlorine may evaporate too quickly if the pH is too low, or it may not work at its full capacity if the pH is too high. Be aware that the pH of your eyes is 7.5, which is one of the reasons why the pH of your water should be between 7.4 and 7.6. This will prevent your eyes from hurting upon contact with the water.
If you are having trouble with your pH, it may be because the alkalinity is out of balance. At the water analysis counter, our advisors can help you balance this parameter and inform you about the level of calcium in your pool. This is another important aspect of preserving your equipment for as long as possible, since it has an impact on corrosion, among other things.
Follow the steps of the recommended recipe, since you have waiting times between each addition and must respect a specific order when adding products to your pool. You should also refer to the labels on the products, as each product can be added to the water in a different way, either diluted or directly in the pool. Your water will then be clean and pleasant to swim in.
Storms can affect the chemical parameters of your pool water, notably chlorine and pH. Itâs important to test your water with strips or droplets after heavy rain to check and adjust the chlorine and pH levels.Â
Rain water brings more contaminants so you must provide more chlorine to the water with a pouch of Brillance or Smartchoc.Â
Also, rain is acidic, so it tends to lower the pH level. To increase the pH, we recommend that you test your water in-store to ensure that alkalinity and calcium are well adjusted.Â
Itâs also critical to check the dry well if you have an in-ground pool to ensure that the water level isnât too high. Go to our website, to watch our video tutorial on this topic to avoid that bubbles and pleats appear on your pool liner.Â
And, no matter if you have an above-ground, in-ground, or built-in pool, you must prevent the water level from raising above 3/4 of the skimmer to ensure an optimal filtration. If this were the case, drain some water to reach the right level.Â
Now, go enjoy the nice weather and take a swim before the next storm!Â

Low alkalinity often results from heavy rainfall, acid shock treatment, overdosing on pH reducer, or simply very soft fill water. When alkalinity is low, the pH becomes unstable and fluctuates constantly, making the water difficult to balance.
To increase alkalinity, use a productAlkalinity PlusTo reduce it, we usepH Lessbecause it directly affects total alkalinity. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid sudden changes.
To lower the alkalinity, add pH Minus in small doses, always in the same spot (ideally in the current towards the bottom). Then let the pump circulate the water. When the pH drops too low, raise it with pH Plus. Repeat this process until the pH returns to between 80 and 120 ppm.
To increase alkalinity, use an Alkalinity Plus product. Pour it around the pool with the pump running. Retest after 1 hour. The goal is to reach between80 and 120 ppmfor swimming pools.
