Protect the warranty on your pool with monthly water tests.

Protect the warranty on your new pool.

If you've recently installed a new pool, it's essential to have monthly water tests conducted by a qualified professional to maintain your warranty. Make sure the pool store keeps a record of these tests, as you may need this documentation in the future to support any warranty claims related to your pool's maintenance.

Regular monthly testing of pool water is frequently a warranty stipulation that helps safeguard the structural integrity of your pool and extends the lifespan of its equipment by ensuring optimal water chemistry and mitigating the risk of damage.

Here's why monthly testing is often a warranty requirement for new pools:

• Structural Integrity:

Imbalanced water chemistry, especially low total alkalinity, can lead to the water attacking the pool's walls, potentially weakening the structure. 

• Equipment Longevity:

Improperly balanced water can damage pool equipment like pumps, filters, and heaters, which can invalidate your warranty if the damage is caused by poor water chemistry. 

• Warranty Maintenance:

Many pool warranties, especially for structural components or equipment, require regular water testing and maintenance to ensure the pool's water chemistry remains within the recommended parameters. 

• Preventing Problems:

Regular testing helps identify and address potential problems early on, such as algae growth, corrosion, or scaling, before they cause significant damage. 

• Ensuring Water Safety:

Proper water chemistry is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy swimming environment for everyone. 

• Recommended Water Balance Parameters:

• pH: 7.2 - 7.6 

• Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm 

• Calcium Hardness: 200 - 300 ppm 

• Free Chlorine: 2 - 3 ppm 

• Cyanuric Acid (CYA): 30 - 50 ppm
