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.

💡 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.

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 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.

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.

🔄 Never perform a shock treatment without first testing and adjusting alkalinity and pH.

The stabilizer acts like a "sunscreen" for your chlorine. Without it, it degrades rapidly under UV rays.

  • Ideal value: between 30 and 50 ppm.

⚠️ 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.

FAQ


Water hardness, measured by calcium levels, protects your equipment and stabilizes the water balance. Too low a hardness level promotes corrosion, while too high a hardness level leads to limescale deposits and cloudy water. Maintaining the correct level ensures clear water and a long-lasting pool. To learn more about complete pool water balancing, see our guide.

Fill a large bucket with lukewarm water, gradually add the water hardness increaser, stir, and allow it to dissolve completely. Caution: the reaction may release heat. Then pour the solution around the pool with the pump running.



Use a calcium hardness increasing product. Dissolve it in a bucket of warm water (be careful: the solution will get hot), then slowly pour it into the pool with the pump running. The ideal area for a pool is generally between200 and 300 ppm.



To reduce water hardness, there is no common chemical product: you must dilute the pool water by partially draining it and adding fresh water. Excessive hardness can lead to white deposits, cloudy water, and damage to equipment.

Q&A

Bonjour, est-ce que je mets le Innovaqua calcium 200 directement dans la piscine?
Pour les produits composés de grosses granules, nous recommandons de les dissoudre préalablement dans un seau d’eau avant de les verser dans la piscine. Cela permet une meilleure répartition du produit et évite que des granules ne se déposent au fond, ce qui pourrait endommager la surface ou réduire l’efficacité du traitement. En revanche, pour les produits formulés en petites granules ou en poudre, le pré-mélange n’est pas nécessaire. Ils se dissolvent rapidement et peuvent être ajoutés directement à l’eau. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez besoin d’aide pour identifier le type de produit que vous utilisez ou pour toute autre question.
