To keep the water in your swimming pool clear and healthy, you need to test the water quality on a regular basis. The chlorine and pH values play an important part in this regard. However, the alkalinity and cyanuric acid content are also important parameters. In this category, you can find all the swimming pool testers to help you check the water in your swimming pool.
Testing the water quality is important for maintaining a healthy swimming environment. If there is an imbalance in the quality of the water, the bacteria will not be killed. This can lead to you contracting certain symptoms associated with swimming, such as intestinal problems.
In addition, poor water quality can also cause damage to the swimming pool and the filter installation. Excessive acidity or too much chlorine can affect the components and pipes, with the result that they may have to be replaced.
There are different methods for testing the swimming pool water. On the one hand, there are the manual pool testers. On the other hand, there are also digital alternatives available.
If you want to test the water in your swimming pool by hand, you can use pool test strips or a pool water test set.
With the test strips, you simply dip the test strip briefly in the water and then read off the water quality against the colour code on the packaging. Most test strips measure 3 or 4 values.
If you use a pool water test set, then you can only test the chlorine and pH values. Take a little bit of water from the pool, add 5 drops of the test liquid and compare the colours in the test set with the packaging.
Among the digital variations, we recommend the Scuba II from Lovibond. With this, you test the pool water quality using test tablets. Take a test tablet, put it in the digital tester and dissolve the test tablet. After a few seconds, you can perform the test and read off the value of a particular parameter. With the Scuba II from Lovibond, you can test 4 different values with the test tablets.
You can find more information about the manual testers or digital testers on the relevant product pages. On each page, we explain how you can check the water quality with that particular swimming pool tester.
If you’ve decided to buy a swimming pool tester, you can do this in our webshop. However, you can also buy a pool tester from one of our physical outlets.
At Willy Naessens Swimming Pools, you don’t just get your pool tester for the right price. You can also get answers to all your questions there. We are happy to explain how your pool tester works and what to look out for.
