Water Testing and BalancingTesting the water weekly or bi-weekly, depending on use and weather, helps keep your pool/spa water healthy. Utilizing a DPD or OTO reagent-based water test kit, test strips, or digital testing will help you monitor the water chemistry. Having proper pH and alkalinity levels increase the ability of your main sanitizer to kill bacteria, and reduce chemical and maintenance costs. |
SanitizingClean and healthy water starts by establishing a proper residual chlorine level with shock or concentrated granular chlorine. The most common way to maintain a proper chlorine level is by using trichlor chlorine tablets in either a floater or chemical feeder. Applying these steps to your maintenance plan will ensure your water is safe to enjoy all season long. |
TreatmentEven after all your preparation, sometimes life happens and your water can get away from you. In those moments we need to start with testing the water. Once you have a clear idea of the current readings, your next steps will depend on the type of symptoms your water is presenting. This may include issues such as algae, cloudiness, debris, and other water conditions. |
