Testing your swimming pool water can be a real pain, whether you operate public baths or are lucky enough to have a private pool. Is my pH-value balanced? Is there still enough chlorine in water? Is the Alkalinity (acid capacity) and Cyanuric Acid (stabiliser) in between acceptable ranges? How about Chlorine Dioxide, Hyd. Peroxide, Bromine and Ozone levels?
Quite often, test strips and Pooltester are used, as Photometers seemed to be reserved for professionals simply because they are expensive. Luckily, time has changed and a Photometer was recently launched that everyone can afford! The new PoolLab 1.0 Photometer by Water-i.d./Pool-i.d. is easy to use, gives accurate results of 9 pool parameters and even comes with Bluetooth, a powerful App and software which both synchronise via a cloud server, free of charge.
Test results can be downloaded via the app/software and individual water treatment chemicals can be stored and used to let the software and app calculate a dosage recommendation.
