          Setting up the pool water balance is one of the keys to providing comfortable bathing conditions, consequently spending less time on maintenance and achieving more economical running costs.
Compare the Ideal Readings below with your existing readings; simple testing kits are available from your BioGuard dealer. Alternatively, take a 1 litre sample of your pool water in a clean container that has been rinsed out with your own pool water to your BioGuard Dealer. Your BioGuard Dealer will then be able to provide you with a computerised readout of all the tests listed below. The readout will also give details of how to adjust the incorrect readings.
