Unsure of how well a pool is maintained? You can test the water yourself. Swimmers can test the chemical levels of a pool before they swim by using  testing kits purchased from home improvement or pool chemical stores.

Test strips:

• Test strips are chemically treated to react by producing a certain color upon dipping in the water.
• The testing kits come with  instructions for collecting water or simply dipping a strip in the pool.
• Certain duration of time is needed for the strips to react with the chemical in the water before an indicative color is obtained.
• Match the color of the strip alongside the scale provided with the kit.
