On another note…
Happy Friday, everyone! Weekend’s almost here!
As the 2010 Swimming Season approaches many of you have opened the shed, peered into the garage, begun rummaging through the pool house, etc. in the hopes of finding all the gadgets and gizmos you used last year to keep your pool sparkling clean.
Among those gadgets and gizmos you most likely had some sort of test kit for pool water… which may have magically disappeared over the Winter months.
It happens. Don’t ask us HOW or WHY those test kits and bottles of test strips disappear, but just believe us when we say it happens each and every year — to LOTS of people.
Below you will find links to Pool Check brand pool and spa test strips… in case your test kit vanished, too.
One of the most important thing you can do at the start of any pool season: TEST the WATER before you add chemicals!
Why? Because one of several things could happen if you don’t:
1. You may waste chemicals by adding them to water not properly balanced and the chemicals will not work properly.
2. You might not add enough of what you need and your water will take a lot longer to clear up and/or get properly balanced.
3. You may add too much of something and need to add MORE chemicals and/or drain water to counteract what you added by accident.
The best way to get an accurate reading of your pool water’s chemistry involves taking a trip to your local pool store where you pick up your pool chemicals and having trained staff test your water. Short of making that trip, you have a few pool water testing options: Liquid Test Kits, Test Strips (Pool Check, Aquachek) and Meters.

OK, so a lot of the fast food places have started boasting about having the best and most delicious $5 meals you can get for… 5 bucks. While the Pool Check 3 Way Test Strips won’t fill you up or stop hunger pains in your belly, they will help you keep your pool water, safe, clean and perfect for cooling off on a hot day.
