Test kits are a must have in your supply closet. As a pool owner, you have a responsibility to keep the water chemistry in your pool stable. This is for a number of reasons. The water chemistry affects not only the sanitization of your pool, but also the bather or swimmer comfort, and the equipment durablity. Water that becomes aggressive when levels are off can erode your heater core, affect your liner, deposit substances onto your gunite pool, and most importantly, when ph is off, cause skin sensitivity. We recommend that you check your pool chemical levels every few days with a test kit similar to the one shown below. We also recommend at least a monthly trip to your local pool supply store (most offer free water testing) for a more accurate chemical read.
