Step-by-Step Guide for Testing Pool Water
Testing pool water has never been easier with our kits and strips. Our HTH Pool Care 6-Way Test Kit and HTH Pool Care 6-Way Test Strips are designed for quick and accurate assessments of your pool's chemical levels. Here are the steps to follow:
Test with Ease
To start, collect a water sample about 6 inches below the surface. Then, either dip your HTH Pool Care 6-Way Test Strip into the water or use the HTH Pool Care 6-Way Test Kit to analyze the sample. For the test strips, wait a few moments as the colors develop, then compare them to the color-coded sections on our pool water testing chart.
If using the test kit, add the specified drops to your water sample and observe the color changes. Our strips test for total chlorine, bromine, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, and cyanuric acid levels.
Match and Understand
Once you've tested your water, match the results to our color-coded pool water testing chart. The pool water test chart is an interactive guide on our website that makes it easy to understand your pool's chemical balance. Select the color box corresponding to each chemical on the pool water test chart and click 'Get Results' to see what adjustments are needed.
