There’s more to maintaining a healthy pool than cleaning out any fallen leaves or debris that may have gotten into the water. Pool testing is a vital service that many homeowners don’t truly understand the importance of. The fact of the matter is routinely testing your pool is a necessary service.
Your pool’s pH level, chlorination, and alkalinity can all fluctuate, often without you noticing at all. While you may not see the issue of shifting pool chemical levels, especially if on the surface your pool looks to be clean and safe, these levels need to be monitored. For example, pools with alkaline or acidic water can negatively affect the health of anyone who swims in them, causing issues like irritated skin and eyes or even stinging sensations. Swimming should be a relaxing or fun activity, not one that irritates your body. Pool testing will let you know if your water levels aren’t where they should be so you can take action to maintain healthier chemical levels.
Poor pool water can also affect the pool itself, not just swimmers. Water that isn’t within the safe pH zone can be corrosive to the surface of your pool. This will wear down your pool faster and lead to premature repairs. While pool repairs are a necessary service as time goes by, you don’t want to have to deal with repairing damages that could’ve been avoided by maintaining the water in your pool.
