Why You Should Test Your Pool Water Weekly

Do you think that if your pool water looks crystal clear, it must be safe for swimming? Well, not necessarily. Even if the water appears clean, it doesn’t guarantee that it is safe for swimmers or for your pool equipment. In this blog post, we are going to explore the reasons why pool water testing should be done weekly. By doing so, you can protect the health of swimmers, prevent pool damage, extend the life of your pool, create a comfortable swimming environment, and save money in the long run.

Protect the Health of Swimmers

When you don’t test your pool water regularly you can be left with unbalanced chlorine levels, pH levels, and alkalinity levels. These can potentially harm the health of swimmers, causing skin irritation, respiratory problems, and eye irritation, amongst other issues. By testing your pool water regularly and adjusting the chemicals as necessary, you can ensure that swimmers will not be exposed to harmful chemicals and that the water is healthy for swimming.

Prevent Pool Damage

If the chemical balance in your pool water is off, it can damage your pool equipment, such as the pump, filter, vinyl liner, or fiberglass shell. Over time, this can increase repair and replacement costs. Testing your pool water regularly can prevent this from occurring by ensuring that the chemical levels are properly balanced.

Save Money in the Long Run

By testing your pool water weekly, you can make sure that your pool chemicals are balanced. This prevents expensive repairs and replacements in the future. Additionally, regular upkeep can help to catch any potential issues early on.
