The intention of this guide is to present an overview of testing kits for your AG Pool. The best way to maintain your pool is to know what you’re dealing with firsthand, and there’s no better way to do that than having the adequate testing kit to tell you the chemistry of your pool water.There are four or five measurements to take, and some simple actions to take based on that information. The four key properties to monitor are Chlorine Level, pH, Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness. Pools that use a saltwater chlorine generator will also require salt levels to be measured.
