Pool Water Testing
Is your pool or spa water safe for swimming? Have it tested for free of charge in the store with our Baracuda pool and spa testing system.
You should test the water in your pool two to three times a week to ensure an optimum swim environment and a long life for your pool. Our trained pool testing staff can go through the analyses with you and show you the required chemicals and equipment needed to keep your pool in tip top shape.
All we need to create an accurate test is a sample of your pool water and some basic information about your pool including: the capacity or pool dimensions, what filter you use and the type of surface.
For the best sample of water, collect from the deep end of the pool – collecting at least 1 cup (240 ml) of water. You can collect the water in a sample bottle or any clean, plastic container. Try to have the sample tested within 30 minutes of collecting. We store all details on our system so you can help monitor the progress of your pool.
