Pool Water Testing Services
Pool Experts SG tests the water for 3 purposes: safe water for swimmers, protection for the pool, and the monthly laboratory test that a licensed pool needs.
Safe Water for Swimmers
Chlorine kills the germs in the water. It works well only when the pH, the measure of how acidic the water is, stays in the correct range.
Pool Experts SG tests the chlorine and the pH together, and corrects both on the same visit.
- Germs killed before they can make swimmers ill
- Less irritation to the eyes and the skin
- Chlorine and pH kept within the NEA limits for Singapore pools
Protection for the Pool Surface
Water that is out of balance etches the plaster and the grout, or leaves hard scale on the tiles and in the equipment.
Pool Experts SG tests the water balance and corrects it, so the pool surface and the equipment stay in good condition.
- Smooth plaster and firm grout
- Less scale on the tiles and in the equipment
- A steady pH between visits
- Chlorine that lasts longer in the sun, for an outdoor pool
When the surface is already damaged
Pool Experts SG repairs rough plaster and loose grout. See pool retiling and resurfacing.
Monthly Laboratory Tests for Licensed Pools
A condo, club, hotel or commercial pool needs an NEA licence. The licence holder must have the water tested every month by a laboratory accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC). Pool Experts SG arranges this test for the licence holder with an SAC-accredited laboratory partner: Element, Intertek, Setsco or TÜV SÜD PSB.
Every Month
- Pool Experts SG collects the water sample at the pool.
- The laboratory tests the water for bacteria, cloudiness, pH and chlorine.
- The laboratory submits the results to NEA on GoBusiness by the 14th of the following month.
Every Quarter
- A pool with a water spray feature also needs a Legionella test. Legionella is a bacterium that spreads in water spray.
Water Treatment for Clear Water
When a reading is out of range, Pool Experts SG adds the chemicals that correct it.
After heavy use or a failed test, Pool Experts SG superchlorinates the pool. Superchlorination raises the chlorine to a high level for a short time, with the pool closed, to clean the water.
- Less of the strong pool smell
- Algae removed with chemicals and brushing of the walls and the floor
- A check of the filter when the water stays cloudy
- The pool ready for swimmers again

Pool Water Testing and Treatment FAQs
How often does pool water need to be tested?
A licensed pool, such as a condo pool, needs a pH and chlorine test every day it opens. It needs a laboratory test every month. A pool with a water spray feature also needs a Legionella test every quarter. There is no NEA testing rule for a private pool at a landed home. Pool Experts SG tests the water on every visit.
Does clear pool water need to be tested?
Yes. Water clarity does not show the germ count, or if the chlorine works. Only a test shows these readings.
What should the pH of a swimming pool be?
In Singapore, NEA sets a pH of 7.2 to 7.8 for a pool that uses chlorine. Pool Experts SG keeps the pH in this range, because chlorine kills germs well only in this range.
What chemicals does a swimming pool need?
A pool needs chlorine to kill germs, an acid to lower the pH, and soda ash to raise it. Pool Experts SG supplies and adds these chemicals as part of the treatment.
Does a condo pool need a monthly laboratory test?
Yes. A condo pool needs an NEA licence, and the licence holder must have the water tested by an accredited laboratory every month. Pool Experts SG arranges this test for the MCST and collects the water sample. The laboratory submits the results to NEA on GoBusiness.
Do you test and treat saltwater pools?
Yes. A saltwater pool makes its own chlorine from salt, so it needs the same tests as a chlorine pool. Pool Experts SG tests and balances the water and services the salt chlorinator.
