With the salt kits being delayed at the end of 2016 we’ve had a lot of enquiries about our Total Pool Water Testing kits and whether or not they’re interchangeable. The Fresh water and Salt water kits we have are identical – except one has a salt testing component. If you have a salt water pool […]
Latest news on the Hydrometers and Salt Kits, unfortunately we’re experiencing delays ensuring that the products are developed to a satisfactory quality level.

An example of one potential design is featured in the image above – you’ll notice 0.2 unit increments and bigger comparison squares. They’re not ready for sale yet, but they […]

We really just wanted to say thank you to our customers for your business, and taking a punt on a new venture. We’re working hard to […]
Water that has low Calcium Hardness (CH) tends to attack most pool surfaces (except vinyl pools). However, too much calcium leads to excessive scaling which can clog pipes and render salt-water generators inoperable. Therefore maintaining a balance of calcium is critically important to the long term maintenance of your pool. The instructions on the sides of […]
Measuring the level of Total Alkalinity (TA) in your pool gives you a way to understand how susceptible your pool is to wild changes in pH. Low levels of TA will mean that the pH in your pool will be unstable. However, high levels of TA will also make it hard to maintain optimum pH, […]
