Removable Pool Fence Manufacturer, LOOP-LOC, Answers 6 Commonly Asked Water Testing Questions
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Removable pool fence manufacturer, LOOP-LOC, knows that maintaining a beautiful, clean pool is key to a relaxing summer. To ensure that your pool is in its best condition, the water must be regularly tested for various chemical levels throughout the swimming season. Here, LOOP-LOC answers 6 commonly asked questions regarding testing your pool water.
Why do I need to test my pool water?
The responsible pool owner seeks to create an optimal pool water environment to extend the life of their pool and its equipment and provide a safe, clean swimming experience. This is best accomplished through regularly testing your pool water for various chemicals throughout the season.
What chemicals do I need to regularly test my pool for?
Along with chlorine and pH levels, your pool water should be tested for total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid levels to better ensure a clean and healthy swimming experience.
How often do I need to test my pool water?
In an ideal world, the answer would be daily, but this is a lot to ask of numerous pool owners. So, the average pool owner should test their pool water at least 2-3 times per week. The pH and chlorine levels should be tested regularly, while alkalinity levels can be tested weekly. Calcium hardness and cyanuric acid levels change slowly, so monthly testing is the best for these levels.
What are recommended levels for my pool?
- pH: 7.2 - 7.8
- Chlorine: 1.0 - 2.0 ppm
- Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
- Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm
- Cyanuric Acid: 20 - 50 ppm
How do I test my pool water?
There are various methods of pool water testing, the most common being test strips, liquid test kits, and professional sample checks. Test strips are simple and accurate, and can test for various levels in your water with only a few different test strip dips in the pool. Liquid test kits include chemicals to add to your sampled pool water to examine the levels through the color change of the water. Finally, you can simply gather your own pool sample and take it to your local pool store to have it tested by a professional for accurate, detailed results.
Can I use a testing kit from last season?
While testing kits, if stored in a dark, cool place, can last up to two seasons, it is recommended that new ones are purchased every season to guarantee accurate results. This also applies to chemicals and treatments for your pool.
