When you own a pool or hot tub, you need to make sure that it’s a safe place to swim. That is why pool owners need to do water tests and maintenance to make sure that the water is healthy. Furthermore, these tests need to be done weekly.
For pools and hot tubs, water maintenance is essential. Without proper care, your swimming pool is just a hole in the ground. Over time, the water will become become dirty and unclear. Untreated water can also lead to water-borne illness, spreading infectious diseases. In addition, it can lead to damage to your pool and equipment. Water test looks at:
Testing your water can help prevent maintenance on your hot tub and keep the hot tub sanitary for its users. Also, correct water management starts by analyzing and balancing the hot tub water. Water tests such as pH and sanitizer need to be performed regularly.
If Chlorine is used, it should be tested by a method that will measure Free Chlorine. Free Chlorine refers to the hypochlorite ion and the hypochlorous acid usually added to water systems for disinfection. Tests for total calcium hardness and alkalinity are performed less often. Keeping the proper water chemistry for your hot tub is important, to help keep the water quality high so all who use the hot tub will enjoy it.
A great way to test your water is to bring it to Sunny’s Pools & More.

The process is simple, fill out this form here, then fill a bottle with your hot tub or pool water, and bring it to one of your convenient Sunny’s Pools & More locations. We use the LaMotte WaterLink Spin system to test your water. You can also buy your pool and spa chemicals at our stores or online!
