Club Piscine Super Fitness - Above Ground Swimming Pool - Owner’s Manual (03/2012) 24
This section will explain how you can test your pool water. You will learn which parameters to check, what
products are recommended, and how to solve problems. Of course, if a problem persists, go straight to one
of our analysts or technicians who will be glad to help.
PREPARATION
To successfully test your pool water, you must have a good test kit that combines rapidity, accuracy, ease
of use, and affordability. Club Piscine Super Fitness test strips are also a good choice. However, these
and kits are not comprehensive: they don’t test water hardness. For a more thorough testing, please come
to our store and meet with one of our specialists. The free, comprehensive tests are performed by our
chemical product specialists.
Recipe for Success
These elements will help keep your pool water just right and reduce the need for testing.
