TIP: When to Test Pool Water During Spring Opening

One of the most important steps of swimming pool maintenance is water balance. During spring opening, it is best to have your pool water tested after you raise the water level back to normal, (which is typically about the middle of the skimmer opening) and you have added your opening pool chemicals as directed. We suggest letting your circulation system run for at least 12 hours before testing. You will want to test your pool water for pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and Sanitizer Levels.

Remember, we offer free testing of pool water to all of our loyal chemical customers. Just bring us in a fresh sample taken from the deepest end of your pool, arms length down and away from the skimmer. After pool water is safe and all levels are where they need to be, your pool will be ready for swimming!
