It's important to regularly test your pool water especially when it is in use, not just to ensure the comfort and safety of swimmers but also to protect your pool from damage which can be expensive to repair. The five most important parameters to measure in your pool are pH, Chlorine, Alkalinity, Salt and Cyanuric acid... pH is a measure of the acidity of your pool water. It is important to ensure your pools' pH is in the correct range. If the pH is too low, corrosion of pool components and bather discomfort can occur. If the pH is too high, the ability of chlorine to properly disinfect your pool is compromised... If the chlorine level is too low bugs and bacteria can breed in your pool making it unsafe for swimming. If chlorine is too high it will be uncomfortable for swimmers (burning eyes etc).
