What Our Water Testing Service Includes
We perform detailed checks of your pool’s most important water balance levels:
- pH Testing and Adjustment: Keeps acidity at a safe level for skin and surfaces
- Alkalinity Control: Stabilizes pH and helps prevent corrosion or cloudiness
- Chlorine or Sanitizer Levels: Ensures your pool stays clean and free of harmful bacteria
- Calcium Hardness Testing: Prevents scaling or softening that affects plaster and tiles
- Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer): Protects chlorine from being burned off by sunlight
- Salt Level Checks (for saltwater pools): Confirms salt is within range for chlorine generation
We balance your water on-site with the right dose of chemicals to match your pool’s size and conditions.
Signs Your Pool Water Is Out of Balance
Unbalanced water leads to problems that are easy to spot. Watch for:
- Cloudy or green water even after recent cleaning
- Eye or skin irritation after swimming
- Strong chlorine odor, which can mean chlorine is being overworked
- Rust or stains on metal surfaces like ladders or light rings
- Rough plaster or scale buildup from high calcium
- Algae forming on walls, even when chlorine is present
These are signs that your pool’s chemistry needs attention.
Why Routine Balancing Protects Your Pool
Keeping your water balanced does more than improve how it looks:
- Prevents corrosion of metal parts and pool plumbing
- Reduces scaling on tiles, heaters, and salt systems
- Ensures sanitizers work properly to kill bacteria
- Improves swimmer comfort with stable pH and sanitizer levels
- Saves money by using fewer chemicals over time
- Extends the life of your pool equipment and finish
Regular testing protects your investment and keeps your water clear and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use test strips instead of professional testing?
Test strips help with quick checks, but they’re not always accurate.
Professional testing uses precise tools and provides full chemical balance, not just pH or chlorine.
What’s the best pH range for pool water?
The ideal pH range is 7.4 to 7.6.
This keeps water comfortable for swimmers and allows chlorine to work properly.
Is water balancing different for saltwater pools?
Yes. Saltwater systems need specific salt levels and tighter pH control to protect the salt cell.
We test both the salt and the chemistry it affects.
Do you offer chemical-only service without cleaning?
Yes. We offer standalone chemical service packages for clients who want to manage cleaning on their own.
Perfect for DIY homeowners or rental properties.
