Whether you own a residential pool or manage a commercial swimming facility, our skilled technicians help prevent common issues such as algae growth, scaling, and cloudy water by carefully monitoring and adjusting your pool’s chemical levels.
What Do We Test?
Our certified pool specialists utilize advanced water testing kits to analyze important water chemistry parameters, including:
- Chlorine: The main sanitizer that eliminates harmful bacteria and keeps your water safe.
- pH Levels: Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water, vital for swimmer comfort and protecting pool equipment.
- Total Alkalinity: Helps stabilize pH levels to prevent corrosion and scaling.
- Calcium Hardness: Ensures water isn’t corrosive or prone to forming damaging scale deposits.
- Stabilizers (Cyanuric Acid): Protect chlorine from sunlight degradation, extending its effectiveness.

Keeping your pool’s chemistry balanced is essential for several key reasons:
- Protects Swimmers: Properly balanced water prevents eye and skin irritation caused by harsh or imbalanced chemicals.
