At Zodiac Pools, our professional water testing services help ensure your pool water remains clean, balanced, and safe for swimming. We assess key water parameters and identify imbalances that can affect water quality, swimmers, pool surfaces, and equipment. With accurate testing and the right recommendations, we help maintain crystal-clear water and a healthier swimming environment.
Pool Chemistry
Understanding the key elements of pool water chemistry
helps maintain clean, safe and properly balanced water.
01
Chlorine
Used as a disinfectant to kill bacteria and
control algae in pool water so that it is safe
for swimming.
02
pH
Is a measure of whether something is acidic,
basic or neutral and it is always measured
on a scale 0 to 14.
03
Total Alkalinity (TA)
Is a measure of alkaline materials in the pool
water – carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides.
04
Calcium Hardness
Is the amount of dissolved calcium in your pool's
water. Water supplies are often termed “SOFT” or
“HARD” and this relates to their content of calcium
and magnesium salts.
05
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Is the sum of the dissolved compounds – hardness
salts, treatment salts and other salts in the water.
06
Cyanuric Acid
Cyanuric Acid is among the most important chemical.
It is important to the pool because its use can help
reduce the use of chlorine. Cyanuric Acid, which is
also called as stabilizer or conditioner, helps to
reduce the rate at which the sun depletes the free
chlorine in the water.
