Water Testing – Keeping Your Pool Safe, Balanced & Compliant
At Waikato Spa & Pool, we offer regular, scheduled water testing to ensure your swimming pool or spa stays clean, healthy, and fully compliant with New Zealand water quality standards.
Why Is Water Testing Important?
Regular testing is essential for maintaining water safety and protecting your investment. Here’s why:
- Chemical Balance: We check and adjust key water parameters, including chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness, in line with NZ Pool Water Quality Standards (NZS 5826:2010).
- Health & Safety: Poorly balanced water can harbour harmful bacteria, viruses, or algae. Regular testing helps prevent unsafe swimming conditions and ensures a hygienic environment.
- Protects Equipment: Balanced water chemistry helps avoid corrosion or scaling, prolonging the life of your pool pumps, filters, and heating systems.
Whether you’re a homeowner or managing a commercial facility, our mobile technicians bring reliable water testing and expert advice right to your door.
Why Is Pool Water Testing Important?
Ensure Chemical Balance
Accurate testing keeps your water within safe and optimal levels for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness—aligned with New Zealand Standard NZS 5826:2010 for pool water quality.
Promote Health and Safety
Water that’s out of balance can become a breeding ground for bacteria, algae, and other harmful microorganisms. Regular testing helps safeguard everyone using your pool or spa.
Protect Your Equipment
Imbalanced water can corrode or scale vital equipment like pumps, heaters, and filters. Proper water chemistry reduces wear and tear, extending the life of your pool system.
