Water Analysis

Your pool water should be tested two to three times a week. Keeping track of your water balance will create an optimum swim environment for you and your guests and ensure a long life for your pool.

All water samples should be collected from the deep end of your pool. Roll up your sleeves and reach down to elbow length for the best sample – around 18 inches. A usable sample should include 8 ounces of water – trapped in a sample bottle or any clean, plastic container.

When conducting your own two-to-three times weekly water analysis, remember that there are specific ranges for each test.
