The Great part about buying Swimming Pool Kits from Ebay is variety. While Liquid Test Kits are the most accurate way to test your pool, not everyone has the time and patience to use them frequently. Quick Test Strips offer a convenient way to supplement your daily pool water testing routine. And, Digital Test Strips are perfect for those who are color blind, or struggle to distinguish colors. To each his own, eBay carries the variety of equipment you'll need for your pool. Your Swimming Pool needs to be tested every day. Following a few Pool Testing basics will set you on the right course for a beautiful, clear sparkling swimming pool. Chlorine levels can quickly vanish in the hot sun, meaning your swimming pool risks algae bloom and improper disinfecting strength for the safety of swimmers. Your Pool's PH Balancecan also fluctuate quickly if your water is not properly balanced. The only way to recognize changes and trends in your water chemistry is to test every day, and that means having the proper pool test equipment.. Is there one place you can buy affordable pool testing kits and save on shipping? Ebay Auctions carries the most frequently required pool testing kits, including the very best Liquid Kits like the Taylor K-2006 Test Kit


Borates

Did you know that you can improve your pool water by adding lots of borax or borates? Getting your Borate levels up to 50ppm has many benefits:


    Benefits of 50ppm Borates

  • Crystal Clear, Diamond-Like WaterThe right level of borates in your water will make your water look even more clear and beautiful than you thought it could be.

  • Feels soft and silky on the skinA pool with 40-50PPM of borates will feel soft and silky on the skin, lessening the need and desire to jump in the shower to rinse off immediately after swimming.

  • Helps Control AlgaeBorates are proven to help control algae
  • Help Maintain Proper PH and Free Chlorine LevelsBorate levels of 40-50PPM actually help stabilize and save money on chemicals, especially chlorine.

    How to Add Borates

    Borates can be added to your water simply by adding combined boxes of Borax with muriatic acid to counter the rise in PH and Total Alkalinity. My own, 10,000 gallon pool required about 6 boxes of Borax and 3.5 gallons of muriatic acid in order to bring the Borate levels up to 50ppm. Of course, you will need a good Borate Test Kit to know when you have the right amount.

To find out how, to add and maintain 50PPM levels of borates, please visit our Borates Pool Strip Test Kits Page.
 

Pool Closing Time in Colorado

It's October 2nd and I've left the pool open as long as reasonably possible here in Colorado with our cool, cool nights. We got down into the mid 30-s last night, though my pool water is still in the upper 70's. I actually used the heater a little bit this week and I'm proud to say that I went swimming as late as Sept. 29th. This is never a happy time for us swimming pool lovers, but it's important that we close our pools properly so we enjoy them next summer. Things to keep in mind.
  • Thoroughly drain your pump and heater of any water.
  • Unplug all of your jet returns, drains and blow out the lines with a shop-vac or compressor.
  • Install drain plugs in all your returns
  • Use something called a gizmo to plug into your threaded simmer to avoid water freezing and cracking it
  • Apply proper closing chemicals; chlorine floater, stain remover, algaecide
    •  
      See the Closing Pool Video Demonstration for more details.
