Maintaining safe, clear water in Stockton pools requires regular testing of pH, sanitizer levels, alkalinity, and hardness. In summer’s heat, test daily to counter rapid chemical depletion; during milder months, test every three to five days. After heavy rain or high bather use, perform an immediate test and adjust chemicals to prevent algae blooms. For saltwater systems, also monitor salt concentration monthly. Using a high-accuracy digital test kit or professional service ensures precise readings. Pool Service Stockton recommends pairing at-home testing with monthly professional analysis to catch hidden imbalances early, keeping your Stockton pool pristine year-round.
