Read the comparisonHow to use these guides
Start with the job, then compare the product. A floor-only robot can be a sensible choice for one pool and a poor fit for another. A test kit with more advertised “ways” can still omit the CYA reading you need. A familiar chemical brand can sell several formulations that require different doses.
Each guide names its sources, explains the limits of the shortlist and includes reasons to choose a different option. These are comparisons of published information, not physical testing or a survey of every product on sale.
