How often should I really be testing my pool water? 🔬

Hi all! Just curious about how often everyone tests their pool water. I've heard varying advice, from daily to weekly. What’s your routine, and what testing kits do you recommend?

Hey there! 😊 Testing your pool water regularly is key to keeping it clean and safe! Aim for at least once a week to check pH levels, chlorine, and alkalinity. But if your pool gets a lot of use or heavy rain, testing a couple of times a week wouldn't hurt either! Better safe than sorry, right? 🔍🏊♂️

I usually test my pool water about once a week, especially during the peak swimming season. I use a basic testing kit that checks the pH, chlorine levels, and alkalinity. It helps me stay on top of any adjustments needed to keep the water balanced and safe for swimming.
