Testing your swimming pool water with a laboratory involves collecting a water sample and then sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will use specialised equipment and techniques to test the water sample for various chemicals and substances.
The water sample can be collected by you or a sampling technician using a special water sample bottle, which can be sent to the laboratory safely. From there, the laboratory will test your sample.
Laboratory testing is usually more accurate and precise than test kits and can also detect other potential contaminants in the water. Therefore, it is beneficial if the pool or spa is used for commercial purposes or if specific regulations need to be met.
Laboratory testing can also be done as a confirmation test in case of a high reading by the test kit or an event such as water discolouration.
If you are unsure about how often or what to test for in your pool or spa, it is recommended to consult with one of our pool water testing consultants, who can help you to make a proper plan for your pool’s water testing regimen.
