Free Professional Water Testing: The Main Street Difference
Stop guessing. Start swimming. Get lab-accurate water analysis at Main Street Pool & Spa.
At Main Street Pool & Spa, we believe that a healthy backyard oasis starts with healthy water. While "big-box" stores sell generic chemicals, we provide professional water analysis and high-performance solutions designed specifically for the unique demands of the Ontario climate.
Whether you are maintaining an inground pool in Brooklin, a salt-pool in Port Perry, or a hot tub in Oshawa, our free in-store water testing takes the guesswork out of your maintenance routine and protects your investment.
🧪 Why Professional Testing Beats DIY Kits & Big-Box Stores
Most homeowners rely on liquid drops or test strips for their daily maintenance. While these are fine for a quick mid-week check, they often fall short. Factors like poor lighting, "human error" in color matching, or expired reagents can lead to improper dosing—which costs you more money in the long run.
The WaterLink® SpinTouch® Advantage
At our Uxbridge storefront, we’ve invested in the WaterLink® SpinTouch® system. This advanced technology uses digital photometric sensors to analyze your water with laboratory precision in just 60 seconds. We don't just guess the color of a strip; we provide a data-driven report.
Our comprehensive 10-point analysis includes:
- Sanitizer Levels: Precise Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, or Bromine readings.
- Water Balance: pH, Total Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness.
- Protection: Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) levels to prevent chlorine loss from UV rays.
- Problem Solvers: Phosphates (algae food), Metals (Copper/Iron), and Salt levels.
💎 High-Performance Water Care with Dazzle™
We don't just give you a printout; we provide a roadmap to crystal-clear water using Dazzle™ Water Care products.

🍁 Understanding the Ontario Seasonality
Water chemistry isn't "set and forget." Our local environment poses specific challenges:
- Spring Openings: Dealing with organic runoff and heavy pollen.
- Summer Heat: Managing bather load and high UV evaporation in the Durham Region.
- Winterizing: Professional testing before closing ensures your pipes and surfaces are protected through the freeze-thaw cycle.
📝 How to Take a Perfect Water Sample
For the most accurate results, follow these steps before visiting us:
- Use a Clean Container: A 1-liter plastic bottle is ideal. Avoid old juice or soda bottles that may have residue.
- Go Deep: Take the sample from "elbow depth" (about 18 inches below the surface).
- Location Matters: Take the sample away from return jets or skimmer baskets.
- Bring it In Quickly: Try to bring the sample to the store within 2 hours of taking it for the most accurate pH and chlorine readings.
