Free Water Testing at Both Branches
Not sure what your pool needs? Bring a water sample to either branch. A clean sample gives the most accurate results, so follow the steps on the right. We run a full chemical breakdown on the spot and give you a treatment plan with exact products and dosages. If things haven't cleared up in a few days, bring another sample in. We'll retest and adjust the plan at no charge. Pool chemistry sometimes needs more than one round.
Bring In a SampleScoop a sample
Use a clean plastic bottle, not an old cooldrink bottle. Rinse it out first, no soap. Scoop about 500ml from elbow depth, away from the jets, and bring it in the same day.
We test it on the spot
Full chemical analysis: pH, chlorine, alkalinity, stabiliser, and more.
Know exactly what your pool needs
Exactly what to add, how much, and in what order. No guessing. No charge.
