Why Regular Water Testing Matters

Your pool’s water chemistry changes constantly — from sunlight, rain, bather load, and chemical treatments. Without regular testing, imbalances can lead to problems like cloudy water, algae growth, corrosion, or scale buildup. Reliable testing allows you to:

• Detect pH and chlorine issues before they become costly

• Maintain swimmer comfort by keeping water properly balanced

• Extend the lifespan of equipment and pool finishes

• Ensure sanitizer efficiency for safe, bacteria-free water

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I test my pool water?

You should test your pool water at least two to three times per week during swim season. Regular testing helps maintain correct chlorine, pH, and alkalinity levels, keeping your water clean and safe.

What’s the best type of pool water test kit?

For most pool owners, a liquid drop test kit offers the best accuracy. However, digital testers and test strips are great for quick checks or everyday use, depending on your needs.

Can I use pool test strips for a spa or hot tub?

Yes — most test strips and digital meters work for both pools and spas. Just make sure your kit measures sanitizer and pH levels within spa temperature ranges.

What do I do if my test results are off?

If your test shows unbalanced chemistry, adjust your pool water using pH increasers, alkalinity balancers, or chlorine stabilizers as needed. Benchmark Pool Supply’s team can help you identify exactly what to add and how much.
