Owning a pool has always been quite a perk, though ownership comes with responsibilities. Older pools required quite a lot of upkeep to maintain and owners sometimes found themselves spending as much time working on their pools as they did relaxing in them. These days however, owning a pool is easier than ever!
Test Strips
Keeping pool water balanced is imperative. Balanced water is not only clear and sparkling to look at, but also healthy and safe to swim in. Unbalanced pool water can lead to a myriad of problems both to the pool and the swimmer. Back Then The original method of testing chemical levels in the water involved using a special testing kit. Using the kit required the pool owner to regularly take samples of the pool water and add drops of a reagent to it. The samples would then change color and would need to be compared to charts to determine chemical levels. Testing kits are still an option for pool owners and some prefer them as they can be very accurate when used correctly. The problem is that there’s a lot of room for error and the job can be a bit tedious. Today Luckily, test strips are now very commonly used for their convenience and efficiency. Pool owners simply dip a strip in the water and compare the colors to a chart to see chemical levels. These strips are safe and user-friendly, making the chore of balancing chemicals easier than ever.Automatic/Robotic Pool Cleaners
