Step 2: Testing Water


Regular testing of your pool water is quick & easy with Test Strips.   We would recommend that as a new pool owner you check the water on a daily basis but this can be reduced to twice a week once you have got into the swing.
Full instructions on how to use the Test Strips are printed on the bottle and the whole procedure only takes about 30 seconds, not long to give you peace of mind that your water is safe and comfortable for bathers.
Before using the Test Strips check the expiry date that is printed on the bottle has not expired, this will ensure the integrity of your testing.
Dip the Test Strip into your pool water vertically and do not linger before holding it horizontally to match the colours produced against the pre-set standards printed on the bottle.  It is that simple!!!
By regularly testing your water you will soon learn how various things like topping your pool up with mains water will affect your pool water readings.
