Testing Frequency Guide
You don’t need to test everything every day. Here’s a practical schedule:
Daily (or every other day):
- Free chlorine
- pH
Weekly:
- Total alkalinity
- Combined chlorine (if you notice a chlorine smell)
Monthly:
- Calcium hardness
- Cyanuric acid
As needed:
- Total dissolved solids (only when chemistry won’t balance)
Stick to this routine and you’ll catch problems before they turn into expensive fixes.
