STEP 1: Test & Balance

Testing the water is a very simple process. Simply use an HTH

test kit

or HTH

test strips to measure total alkalinity, pH, free chlorine, calcium

hardness, and cyanuric acid/stabilizer.

After testing, the ﬁ rst step is to balance the water. Balanced water prevents

corrosion, etching, equipment damage and scale buildup. It also ensures

maximum sanitizer efﬁ ciency and optimizes comfort for swimmers.

Be sure to adjust your alkalinity levels ﬁ rst before adjusting your pH levels.

Once you have reached an ideal range for alkalinity then test your pH levels

and add the recommended amount of HTH

pH Plus or HTH

pH Minus

to your pool water. See the chart on pages 8 and 9 for the ideal levels and
