The ideal pH level for a swimming pool is between 7.2 and 7.8. If the pH is above 7.8 or below 7.2 it's easy to make to make adjustments.
Testing is a simple process and can be done easily with a test kit found at pool supply stores, hardware stores, and online retailers.
Most test kits include test strips or liquid reagents that you add to a small sample of pool water. The test will indicate the pH level by either changing the color of the water or by displaying a numerical value on the test strip or test kit.
The process is quick and usually takes only a few minutes. It doesn't require any special skills. But, it is important to follow the instructions to ensure accurate results. If you are unsure about how to test the pH of your pool water, you can ask for assistance at a local pool supply store or consult a professional pool service company.
