Time to get your water tested!

Today, our ALEX, computerized water analysis system, provides accurate results instantly. All you have to do is bring in a water sample from your pool or spa, and you receive personalized step-by-step instructions. It’s that easy!

How is BioGuard’s ALEX water testing different?

Here, accuracy counts, and we have it! This water test is fast and much more accurate than a simple dip of a test strip at the poolside or a self-driven analysis using a computer or mobile application. That’s because we test for several parameters beyond the basics to understand how they may be influencing each other in order to avoid trial and error.

Being right the first time saves you time and money.

On top of that, our water care experts are trained and certified. We’ll walk you through the results and are happy to explain anything you might have questions about. Our ALEX recommendations are sound based upon the way you care for your pool and the accumulated knowledge of all your previous water tests.

Our goal is that you are not only be satisfied with the performance results, but that you gain confidence in the products and advice you receive.

Why should I test my water?

Water testing is important to achieve and maintain a safer swimming environment. Water chemistry can be quite complex with all the different factors.

For example, if your water is out of balance or your pH isn’t in the right range, it can cause problems, such as equipment damage and swimmer discomfort. Balanced water also contributes to the effectiveness of other products, so it is an important start to your water care regimen.

How often should I get my water tested?

We recommend you get your water tested when you open and close your pool. In season, it is recommended to test every two weeks or at least once a month. The amount of use and environmental factors can easily change water conditions, and staying on top of things will prevent issues that may prove troublesome to correct if neglected.
