Testing your water

​Liquid Test Kits 

​Test Strips 

- ​Work well. 
- Be sure to get fresh reagents every year. 
- Take sample about 18 inches below the surface of the water and away from inlets. 
- Rinse test tube with pool water after each test. 
- Don't touch with your hands. 

- Very simple. 
- Open the bottle with dry hands, and close immediately after getting out a strip. 
- Dip deep, (18 inches). 
- Follow the directions to the letter. 
​- Dip, swirl, hold level, time, whatever they say. 

​Keep a Pool Log 

- ​Lets you know your pool history and helps you troubleshoot. 
- It's a legal thing, if someone catches something and they think they got it at your pool.
