Accurate water analysis
Know Exactly What’s in Your Pool Water
Most pool owners test with strips that change colour in seconds and look different under every light. A wrong reading leads to the wrong chemicals, wasted money and water that never quite comes right.
One Pool Cleaning Glen Waverley uses calibrated digital testers to measure free and total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, stabiliser, salt, phosphates and more. You get exact numbers, a written record and a simple plan for what to add and when.
Our knowledgeable team brings years of experience reading Melbourne pool water, including the soft mains water common around Glen Waverley. Accurate testing is the most effective first step for any pool problem.

Over-dosing
Guessing often means too many chemicals.
Equipment damage
Corrosive water eats heaters and salt cells.

Digital Water Testing FAQs
Why is digital testing better than strips?
It gives exact numbers instead of colour guesses and measures levels strips can’t, like phosphates.
How often should I test in summer?
At least weekly, and after heatwaves, storms or heavy use.
Can you correct the water while you’re here?
Yes. We can dose on the spot, quoted before we start.
Is chlorine alone enough to keep a pool clean?
No. Chlorine needs the right pH and alkalinity to work properly.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Upfront pricing with no hidden charges.
