You’re not looking for another chore. You want to know your pool is safe for your kids, balanced enough to protect your equipment, and clear enough that you’re not embarrassed when neighbors drop by.
Home test strips give you faded colors and vague ranges. You’re left wondering if that’s “kind of pink” or “sort of orange,” and whether you need a little chlorine or a lot. Then you add chemicals based on a guess, and two days later the water looks worse.
Professional water testing removes the guesswork. You bring us a sample. We run it through lab-grade equipment. You get a printout with exact numbers, a clear explanation of what’s off, and specific instructions on how to fix it. No confusion. No wasted money on chemicals you don’t need. Just a straightforward path to water that’s safe, clear, and properly balanced.
This matters in Brooker, where summer heat and afternoon storms can throw off your chemistry faster than you realize. What looked fine on Monday can turn cloudy by Thursday if your alkalinity was already borderline.
We’ve been serving Brooker and the surrounding Douglas County area for over 30 years. We’ve tested thousands of water samples, built custom inground pools, and walked homeowners through every possible water chemistry issue you can imagine.
We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen it all. Green water after a storm. Cloudy pools that won’t clear no matter what you throw at them. Equipment damage from unbalanced pH that could’ve been caught early.
Our team knows how Georgia weather affects your water. We understand that Brooker pools face different challenges than pools in other parts of the state, and we account for that in every test and recommendation we make. You’re not getting generic advice from a big-box store employee reading off a chart. You’re getting local expertise from people who’ve been doing this since before you had a pool.
The process is simple. Grab a clean container—a water bottle works fine—and collect a sample from about elbow-deep in your pool, away from the return jets. Bring it to us.
We run your sample through a Lamotte Waterlink Spin Disk system. It’s the same technology used by professionals across the industry, and it tests for everything that matters: chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and more. The whole test takes about two to three minutes.
You get a full printout showing your current levels, the ideal ranges, and exactly what’s out of balance. We walk through it with you. If your pH is low, we’ll tell you how much pH increaser to add. If your calcium is high, we’ll explain what that means for your pool surfaces and what you should do next.
There’s no charge for this. Not now, not later. We offer free water testing because we know that when your pool is balanced and you understand what’s happening with your water, you’re more likely to keep it that way. That benefits everyone.
You leave with clear instructions. Follow them, and your water improves. If something still seems off after you’ve made adjustments, bring us another sample. We’ll figure it out.
Ready to get started?
When you bring us a water sample, you’re getting more than just numbers on a page. You’re getting a comprehensive water quality testing that measures the chemicals and minerals most home kits can’t accurately read.
Our equipment tests for free chlorine, total chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and more. These aren’t rough estimates. They’re precise measurements that show you exactly where your water stands and what needs to change.
You also get context. A printout might say your alkalinity is 60 ppm, but what does that mean for you? We explain it. Low alkalinity makes your pH unstable, which leads to corrosion, eye irritation, and damage to your pool equipment. We’ll tell you how much alkalinity increaser to add, and we’ll explain why it matters.
This level of detail is especially important in Brooker, where Douglas County’s water chemistry and seasonal weather patterns create specific challenges. Summer heat increases evaporation, which concentrates minerals. Afternoon thunderstorms dilute your chlorine. Our testing accounts for these local factors, so the recommendations you get are tailored to what your pool actually faces.
You’re not paying for this service. But you are getting the same quality of water analysis that commercial pool operators rely on to stay compliant with health regulations. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, whether you’re testing water for a backyard pool or a community facility.
Bring us a sample every two weeks during swimming season. That’s often enough to catch problems before they get expensive, but not so frequent that it becomes a hassle.
If you’re opening your pool for the season, get it tested right away. If you’ve had heavy rain, a lot of swimmers, or you’ve noticed the water looks off, test it then too. These situations can throw your chemistry out of balance quickly.
Some pool owners test weekly, especially if they’ve had recurring issues or they’re new to pool ownership and still learning what normal looks like for their water. There’s no penalty for testing more often—it’s free, and it only takes a few minutes. The goal is to stay ahead of problems, not react to them after your water’s already cloudy or your equipment’s already damaged.
Home test strips give you a rough idea. Professional testing gives you exact numbers. That difference matters more than most people realize.
Test strips rely on you matching colors to a chart, usually in inconsistent lighting, often with strips that have been sitting in your garage for months. They’ll tell you if your chlorine is “low” or “high,” but they won’t tell you it’s 0.8 ppm when it should be 3.0 ppm. They also don’t test for everything. Most strips skip calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and other factors that directly affect water quality and equipment longevity.
Our lab-grade equipment measures exact levels for every chemical and mineral that impacts your pool. You get a printout with precise numbers, ideal ranges, and clear instructions. There’s no guessing involved. You know exactly what your water needs, and you can add the right amount of the right chemical the first time. That saves you money, prevents overcorrecting, and keeps your pool properly balanced.
Yes. Cloudy water is one of the most common problems we help Brooker pool owners solve, and it almost always comes down to water chemistry that’s off in ways home testing doesn’t catch.
Cloudiness usually means your filtration system isn’t keeping up, and that’s often because your pH or alkalinity is out of range, your calcium is too high, or your sanitizer levels have dropped. Sometimes it’s a combination of all three. Our testing will show you exactly what’s wrong.
We’ve dealt with every conceivable water chemistry issue over the past 30 years. There hasn’t been a single instance where we couldn’t get a pool crystal clear. Bring us a sample, and we’ll walk you through what’s causing the problem and what you need to do to fix it. If the first round of adjustments doesn’t solve it, bring us another sample. We’ll keep working with you until your water is where it should be.
No appointment needed. Just bring us a sample whenever it’s convenient for you during our business hours.
The test itself takes about two to three minutes to run. We’ll spend a few more minutes walking through the results with you and answering any questions you have. The whole visit usually takes less than 15 minutes, even if we’re explaining a more complex issue.
If you want to call ahead to make sure we’re not swamped, you’re welcome to. But most of the time, you can just stop by with your sample and we’ll get you taken care of right away. We keep the process simple because we know you’ve got other things to do. You shouldn’t have to block off half your afternoon just to find out what your pool needs.
We’ll prioritize the adjustments for you. Some chemicals need to be corrected in a specific order, and we’ll walk you through that step by step.
For example, if your pH and alkalinity are both low, you’ll adjust alkalinity first. That stabilizes your pH and makes it easier to bring into range. If your chlorine is low and your cyanuric acid is high, we’ll explain how that relationship works and what you should address first.
You’ll leave with clear, sequenced instructions. Add this chemical first, wait this long, then add the next one. We’re not handing you a list and wishing you luck. We’re giving you a plan that accounts for how these chemicals interact with each other, so you’re not creating new problems while trying to fix the original ones. If you’re unsure about any step, ask. We’d rather spend an extra five minutes explaining it now than have you come back frustrated because something didn’t work the way you expected.
Because balanced water benefits everyone. You get a pool that’s safer and easier to maintain. We build a relationship with someone who knows we’re helpful and trustworthy.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years in Douglas County. We’re not trying to upsell you on services you don’t need or push products you don’t want. We’re offering accurate information that helps you take better care of your pool. If that means you buy chemicals from us because you trust our recommendations, great. If it means you just appreciate the free testing and remember us when you need a pool built or repaired down the line, that’s great too.
Free water testing is how we demonstrate that we know what we’re doing and we’re willing to prove it before asking for anything in return. It’s a low-pressure way for you to see whether we’re the kind of company you want to work with. And for us, it’s a straightforward way to help Brooker pool owners keep their water in good shape, which is ultimately what we’re here to do.
