Testing
It is important to test and adjust your pH levels on a weekly basis to ensure that the water is always safe to swim in and that you are not doing any damage to your pool. You can use testing kits with a simple color comparison or dip strip test – these kits are widely available and you can easily follow the instructions.
You can have automatic dosing systems installed to monitor the chemical and pH levels of your water and most can even sense when there is a problem and automatically release chemicals. If this is not something you are interested in having it can be a good idea to have the water balanced by professionals on a weekly basis.
