Water Testing explained....

Water quality tests, strips and kits, usually take less than a minute and provide the information needed to help keep the water clean and balanced. If you can not deal with the chemical inbalance or readings we are a phone call away with experts at at hand to assist with balancing recommendations.

Why is Water Testing Important?

You put sunscreen on your kids. You don't let them jump in the pool right after eating. But do you test the pool water first to make sure it has been sanitized properly?

What does it mean when your pool water has a strong chlorine smell? What happens if the pH of the water is too low? How often should you be testing the water in your spa?

Regular testing of water chemistry in your pool or spa can help you maintain a healthy and attractive aquatic environment. First of all, a proper level of sanitizer, such as chlorine or bromine, helps to protect bathers from potentially harmful microorganisms. Water that is out of balance can cause burning eyes and irritated skin, and can potentially lead to a serious illness. You should test your water frequently to ensure that it will be fun and comfortable for your friends and family.

Having the right water balance can also save you money by protecting your pool or spa equipment. If the water of your pool is corrosive, it may cause etching and pitting of concrete and plaster-lined pools, and may cause the vinyl liner to wrinkle. Corrosive or acidic water can also damage the heater, pump and filter, leading to hundreds of dollars in unnecessary repairs. If the water is over-saturated with mineral content, it will deposit excess minerals on the pool and equipment in the form of scale.

A few tips:

• Testing with test strips or kits is quick and accurate.
• Automatic cleaners and sanitation systems save time and work.
• Keeping a "routine to clean" helps water stay balanced.
• While swimming pools and hot tubs are not maintenance free, making a commitment to a regular schedule of cleaning, testing and tending to the pool or hot tub can prevent major mistakes and imbalances.
• Liquid kits require counting drops and special techniques. AquaChek Strips require only a dip and NO special technique.
