Water Testing
Collect a Clean Water Sample for Analysis
Heres
what you do:
- Start with a clean, glass or plastic bottle -- that is,
make sure whatever was in the bottle has been rinsed out and that no soap residue
is present. Simply rinse with warm water to loosen product, dirt, etc.
- Rinse
the bottle with pool/spa water discarding your rinse water outside the pool or
spa.
- Invert the bottle (mouth down) and push down into the pool or spa
about 8-10 inches. Then turn the bottle upright to fill. This way, you'll collect
water without any surface contaminants in a bottle that has minimal other contaminants.
- Cap and bring to the store as soon as you can (no rush, but don't leave
it sitting in the sun which could break-down some chemicals prior to testing.
Be prepared to tell us what products you use in your pool and the
most recent applications you've made and when.
