Chemical Testing & Balancing
Proper pool water chemistry is the cornerstone of a safe, clean, and enjoyable swimming experience. At Pool Service Pacifica, we specialize in comprehensive chemical testing and balancing services to ensure your pool water is perfectly maintained throughout the year. Whether you’re a residential pool owner or manage a commercial facility, our expert technicians help prevent common water problems like algae, scaling, and cloudy water by keeping your pool’s chemical levels in check.
What Do We Test?
Our certified pool technicians use advanced testing kits to measure key water parameters, including:
- Chlorine: The primary sanitizer that kills bacteria and keeps water safe.
- pH Levels: Measures acidity/alkalinity; crucial for swimmer comfort and equipment protection.
- Total Alkalinity: Stabilizes pH and prevents sudden changes that can cause corrosion or scaling.
- Calcium Hardness: Prevents water from becoming corrosive or forming damaging scale deposits.
- Stabilizers (Cyanuric Acid): Protect chlorine from being degraded by sunlight, extending its effectiveness.
Why Is Chemical Balancing Important?
Maintaining balanced pool chemistry:
- Protects Swimmers: Prevents skin and eye irritation caused by harsh or unbalanced water.
- Prevents Algae & Bacteria Growth: Proper sanitizer levels keep your pool clean and safe.
- Preserves Equipment: Balanced water reduces corrosion and scaling, extending the life of pumps, heaters, and filters.
- Ensures Clear Water: Balanced chemistry prevents cloudy or discolored water that looks uninviting.
