Do You Offer Professional Water Testing Services?
Yes, we do. At Waterworks Pool & Spa, we offer professional water testing services using the ALEX Water Testing System – an advanced computerized solution developed by BioGuard.
ALEX (short for Accurate, Laboratory EXpert) gives you a clearer and more precise picture of your water’s condition and what it needs. Just collect a small amount of your pool or spa water and bring it to our store. From there, we’ll run it through the ALEX system (which only takes a few minutes), and come back with a range of information about your pH levels, chlorine levels, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and more.
The system then generates a customized treatment plan based on the specific needs of your water. In other words, it doesn’t just tell you what’s wrong – it tells you how to fix it. Plus, every test comes with guidance from our knowledgeable staff, so if you have any questions about the results, the recommended treatments, or what products you need, we’re here to walk you through it.
How Often Should I Have My Pool or Hot Tub Water Professional Tested?
Unbalanced water can lead to issues like skin irritation, cloudy water, equipment corrosion, or algae growth, and since professional testing provides more precise results than at-home kits, it’s a good idea to make it part of your regular pool and spa care routine.
How often should I have my pool water professionally tested?
It can vary based on your specific pool needs, but for the best results – and to ensure your water stays cleaner, safer, and properly balanced – it’s generally recommended to have your pool or hot tub water professionally tested at least once a month, in addition to your weekly at-home testing.
Also, be sure you’re testing with a professional before you start using the pool for the season and before you close things down for the year. And if you’ve been using your pool or hot tub more than usual, or if your pool is experiencing issues (like algae growth or cloudy water), professional testing may be a good idea.
How often should I have my hot tub or spa water professionally tested?
As for hot tubs, these may require more frequent testing due to their smaller water volume and higher temperatures (which can cause quicker chemical imbalances). Professionally testing the water every 2 – 4 weeks is typically ideal.
Additionally, as with pools, if your hot tub is used frequently by multiple people, you might want to test the water more often to ensure that chlorine or bromine levels are good to go.
Why Is Professional Pool Water Testing Important?
Why is professional water testing such as a must?
- It helps to prevent problems like algae, cloudy water, and equipment damage.
- It extends the life of your pool systems and equipment.
- It improves efficiency, and ensures a more comfortable swimming experience.
Home test strips and liquid kids are definitely good resources for maintaining your pool throughout the season, but the accuracy of their results can vary. Professional water testing delivers precise, lab-quality results that take the guesswork out of it all.
And since systems like the ALEX Water Testing Software provide a customized treatment plan, you’ll know how to address any issues quickly, accurately, and without wasting time or money on the wrong products.
At Waterworks Pool & Spa, we make it quick and easy – just bring in a water sample, and we’ll give you expert guidance and a clear action plan within minutes. Have questions? Reach out!
