Pool Water Analysis

At MassLab, we provide extensive pool water analysis services to ensure that the water stored in your pools meets stringent quality, safety, and health standards. Pools—used for swimming, recreation, or even emergency fire-fighting—require regular monitoring to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and chemical imbalances.

Importance of Pool Water Analysis

Pool water, when stored over time, is prone to microbiological contamination and chemical changes that can compromise its safety and suitability for use. Regular analysis helps:

• Ensure Safety: Verify that the water is free from harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Maintain Hygiene: Confirm that disinfectant levels (e.g., chlorine) are optimal for keeping the water hygienic.
• Protect Health: Ensure that the water’s pH, alkalinity, and chemical composition do not pose risks to swimmers’ skin and eyes.
• Optimize Quality: Monitor physical parameters like color, turbidity, and odor, ensuring a pleasant and safe swimming environment.
