The weather is getting hotter and everyone is looking forward to long summer days in the swimming pool.

Now is a great time to take a water sample from your pool into your neighborhood pool store. Improper water balance will damage expensive pool equipment not mention the irritation to swimmers eyes and skin.
The store should check the water for pool conditioner, pH, alkalinity, chlorine, and calcium hardness.

Once your neighborhood pool store has tested the water and they can advise you on what chemicals should be added to your pool.

Keeping the water balanced is much more than just keeping the chlorine level right.
