Did you know it’s vital to test your swimming pool water often throughout the pool season?

Did you also know we will test your water for free? This article explains why you should use our free Alex water testing all season long!

ALEX® Water Testing

BioGuard pioneered the idea of computerized pool water analysis and continues to research and refine the process.

Today, ALEX, our computerized water analysis system, provides accurate results in an instant.

All you have to do is bring us a water sample from your pool or spa to get personalized step-by-step instructions for start-up, closing and maintenance. It’s that easy!

How is BioGuard’s ALEX water testing different?

Here, accuracy counts, and we have it! Our test is fast and much more accurate than a simple dip of a test strip at 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, we have trained and certified local water care experts.

We’ll walk you through the results explain anything you might have questions about. Our ALEX recommendations will be 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 satisfied with the performance results but also 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 swimmer environment. It’s also important when opening or closing your pool. 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 part of 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 we recommend testing every two weeks or minimum at least once a month. The amount of use and environmental factors can easily change water conditions and staying on things will prevent issues that may prove troublesome to correct if neglected.

Why did BioGuard name the water testing software ALEX?

ALEX stands for analysis expert, which is who we are.
