Why does your pool need chemicals?
This part is essential to ensure good water quality and proper operation of your pool equipment. For good disinfection, the priority is to adjust and stabilize the pH to obtain a balance in the water in terms of alkalinity, acidity, hardness and stabilization.
Water treatment
| Problems | Causes | Solutions |
| Cloudy, dirty water | pH too high, poor filtration | Adjust the pH after checking, wash the filter, add flocculant (sand filter only) |
| Chlorine odors and eye irritation | Presence of chloramines, pH not correct | Adjust the pH after checking, apply a shock treatment or granulated chlorine |
| Chlorine odors | Lack of chlorine | Adjust the pH after checking, apply a shock treatment or granulated chlorine |
| Greenish water and green traces on the walls | Disinfectant level too low, or stabilizer level too high, or filtration insufficient | Adjust the pH after checking, apply a shock treatment or granulated chlorine, then 8 hours later add the algaecide, brush the walls, filter non-stop for at least 48 hours |
| Algae blooms | Disinfectant level too low, or stabilizer level too high, or filtration insufficient | Adjust the pH after checking, apply a shock treatment, brush the walls, filter non-stop for at least 48 hours |
| Chlorine OK, pH OK, but algae bloom | Alkalinity too low | Adjust the alkalinity after checking with the alkalinity booster, apply a shock treatment, brush the walls, filter non-stop for at at least 48 hours |
| Foam, scum | Too much algaecide | Fill up with new water or defoamer |
