Professional Pool Chemical Testing & Water Balancing Services

Expert Water Chemistry for Safe, Sparkling Pool Water

At McCool's Pools, we understand that proper pool chemistry is the foundation of a healthy, beautiful swimming pool. Our certified water chemistry specialists provide comprehensive chemical testing and balancing services that ensure your pool water is always safe, comfortable, and crystal clear. With nearly two decades of experience serving the Greater Phoenix area, we've mastered the unique challenges of Arizona's hard water and intense desert climate.

Comprehensive Chemical Testing Services

Weekly Chemical Analysis

Every pool service visit includes thorough chemical testing of your water. We test and adjust pH levels, alkalinity, calcium hardness, chlorine levels, and other critical parameters to maintain optimal water balance. Our technicians use professional-grade testing equipment that provides accurate readings, ensuring your pool chemistry stays within ideal ranges for comfort and equipment longevity.

Arizona Water Chemistry Expertise

Phoenix area pools face unique challenges including extremely hard water, high evaporation rates, and intense UV exposure that rapidly depletes sanitizers. Our team specializes in managing these local conditions, adjusting chemical treatments specifically for Arizona's desert environment. We understand how seasonal temperature swings affect your pool's chemistry and proactively adjust our approach throughout the year.

Complete Water Balancing

Proper water balance goes beyond just adding chlorine. We carefully manage the relationship between pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and sanitizer levels to prevent scale formation, corrosion, cloudy water, and algae growth. Our balanced approach protects your investment in both your pool finish and equipment while ensuring comfortable, safe swimming conditions.

Key Chemical Parameters We Monitor

Our thorough testing covers all aspects of water chemistry essential for pool health:

  • pH Balance (7.2-7.8): Ensures swimmer comfort and chemical effectiveness
  • Total Alkalinity (80-120 ppm): Buffers pH and prevents fluctuations
  • Calcium Hardness (200-400 ppm): Protects surfaces and equipment
  • Free Chlorine (1-3 ppm): Maintains proper sanitization
  • Cyanuric Acid (30-50 ppm): Protects chlorine from UV degradation
  • Total Dissolved Solids: Monitors overall water quality

Benefits of Professional Chemical Testing

Safe Swimming Conditions

Properly balanced water eliminates harmful bacteria and prevents irritation to eyes and skin. Our precise testing ensures your pool maintains safe sanitizer levels without excessive chemicals that can cause discomfort or health concerns.

Extended Equipment Life

Correct water chemistry prevents scale buildup and corrosion that can damage expensive pool equipment. Our balanced approach protects pumps, heaters, salt cells, and other components, saving you thousands in premature replacements.

Beautiful, Clear Water

Perfect chemistry produces sparkling, inviting water that makes your pool the centerpiece of your backyard. We prevent cloudy water, algae growth, and staining that detract from your pool's appearance and enjoyment.

Protect Your Pool Surface

Unbalanced water can etch plaster, fade colored finishes, and damage tile and coping. Our careful chemistry management preserves your pool's beauty and prevents costly surface repairs or refinishing.
