00:00 - Intro - Joe's back!

01:44 - Water chemistry testing is important because without it, managing swimming pools well becomes impossible.

05:55 - Water testing is not difficult, but it takes practice and some effort to get good at it. It helps to keep a log of your test results!

06:31 - How often should you test? It depends on the factor(s), but some should be every week, other should be once a month. Free chlorine may be a few times a week in some cases.

13:10 - If you track your results, managing your pool becomes easier because you will notice some trends and you can predict where your water will go.

15:36 - There's one more factor that isn't measured with a test kit that is very important: water temperature.

20:17 - There are many different ways to test the water. What type of kit is right for you?

24:00 - Take care of your test kit! Store it right, clean it, follow instructions, calibrate electronics (if applicable), and don't let reagents expire.

27:24 - Get good at testing if you're the one testing the water. It takes practice, but make the effort to be proficient in it. It's an important skill to have.

28:26 - Thanks for listening!
