Pool Testing in Geelong

Geelong sits on Corio Bay about 74 km south-west of Melbourne. It falls under City of Greater Geelong, postcode 3220. Geelong’s bayside conditions mean salt air, strong winds and plenty of debris blowing into pools through spring and summer.

Debris such as wind-blown leaves and grit, along with changing weather, throws out pH and chlorine levels quickly, especially during the windy spring and summer months. Regular testing picks up problems before you see cloudy water, stained surfaces or irritated eyes.

Under Victorian rules, any pool or spa that can hold more than 30 cm of water must be registered with City of Greater Geelong, with a barrier compliance certificate lodged every four years. As Geelong is outside our usual Gippsland service area, give us a call first to check availability and travel for your job.

Common Questions About Pool Water Testing in Geelong

What do you test for?
Free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and stabiliser, plus salt levels for salt-chlorinated pools. You get the results and the exact adjustments made.

How often should pool water be tested in Geelong?
At least weekly in the swimming season, and after heavy rain, a big pool party or a heatwave. Less often over winter if the pool is covered.

Why is my pool cloudy when the chlorine reads fine?
Cloudiness usually comes from high pH or alkalinity, poor filtration or calcium scaling. A full water test shows which one it is so we fix the cause rather than adding more chlorine.
