Hot Tub Owners – Use the Correct Kit and Improve Your Water Testing

Often when it comes to testing our water we think ‘what a chore this is’ and how quickly we can ‘get it done’ but is this really good practice. Poor water quality can lead to potential problems and danger but if you don’t test your water properly how can you treat it correctly?

To test the water correctly especially the key parameters of chlorine and pH you should really be using a tablet reagents system based on the same chemistries as used by the professionals. Tablet based kits have advantages over other alternatives:

  • Use the same chemistries as the professionals
  • Tablets are individually sealed so the last tablet used is as fresh as the first. (No worries about reacting with the pool atmosphere whilst sitting in their pot)
  • Clearer colour steps for easy comparison

And testing couldn’t be easier

  1. Rinse the block several times with pool water
  1. Fill with water
  1. Add 1 x DPD No1 Tablet to Chlorine side
  1. Add 1 x Phenol Red Tablet to the pH side
  1. Replace lid
  1. Shake to dissolve tablets
  1. Compare the clear colour steps for readings

Bromine can also be measured by using chlorine scales and x by 2.2

Think about testing – you have to agree safety and accuracy is more important than speed. Order one of our pool block kits today and start testing correctly.
