About Water Analysis

You should test the water in your pool or hot tub two to three times a week to ensure safe swimming environment and a long life for your pool. Collect your sample from the deep end for best results, in a sample bottle or any clean, plastic container.

Bring us your sample for a professional analysis. We’ll help you ensure proper water balance and chlorination levels.

In swimming pool maintenance, the ideal range for what’s referred to as the Langelier stability index is -0.5 to +0.5. If your results are below -0.5, your pool or hot tub water is considered corrosive. You will then need to take steps to adjust your pH, total alkalinity or calcium hardness. If your calculated results are higher than +0.5, then your pool or hot tub water is scale forming. Take the necessary steps to adjust the balancing factors of your swimming pool chemistry. Don’t worry; we’ll tell you what those steps are!

The most important factor to your water balance is the pH. The pH sets the tone for your water and keeps it clear and inviting.
