Helpful hints for testing
- Pool water should be circulated at least 24 hours prior to avoid over concentration
- Make sure to use a clean plastic container to avoid contamination
- Water sample should be taken about 1-2 feet from the surface or at elbow depth
- Make sure container is completely sealed to avoid evaporation
- Do not leave your water sample in your car for more than an hour. Especially in warm weather this can lead to altered levels of chlorine and other chemistry.
