Pool-water testing kits are available in two basic types: commercial testing strips and liquid testing kits. In order to maintain the proper balance for your pool's water, testing kits should measure pH, chlorine, alkalinity and calcium hardness. While pH balance is the main indicator of properly balanced pool water, a pH that is too high or too low might be caused by one of the other chemicals being out of balance. more »
An outbreak of algae can make your pool an uninviting mess that you spend more time working on than enjoying. Unfortunately, chemicals such as shock, algaecide and clarifier that are commonly sold in pool stores will rarely get you good results. However, with a high quality water testing kit, knowledge of correct chlorine levels, and inexpensive household bleach, you can clear up your water in a matter of a few days. (Note: this procedure is for chlorine sanitized pools only. Do not use this if you use other products such as Baquacil or Bromine). more »
The pH scale is used to measure how acidic, alkaline or neutral your water is. The scale ranges from zero (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 being neutral. Most freshwater fish survive in a pH range of 6.4 to 7.8. PH can be tested for by using a standard water test kit. However, testing your water directly from the tap will not always give you a true pH reading. more »
Rainwater is naturally acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide found in the Earth's troposphere. Human activities such as fossil fuel burning for industrial purposes can raise the rainwater's natural acidity. Overly acidic rainwater can result in the death of freshwater fish, damage to crops and erosion of structures such as buildings and monuments. Testing the pH of rainwater, which can determine its acidity levels, requires the use of a pH water testing kit. more »
The most popular method of cleaning pool water is the use of chlorine. Available in either liquid or solid, chalky tabs, chlorine keeps the pool water sanitary and healthy for swimming. Chlorine should be inserted into one of the pool deck filters so it may circulate through the master pump and be returned to the pool through the water jets. It is important to keep the water's chlorine content balanced. This can be done by testing the pH level of the water. Use a water testing kit -- these are sold at swimming pool supply stores -- to measure the pH level. For chlorine to be its most effective, the pH level must be above 8.0. more »
