1. Take water sample in a spot away from returns and 12-18 inches below the surface.
2. Fill Chlorine test vial to solid line with pool water.
3. ADD 5 drops of solution #1 (Chlorine/Bromine Test)
4. Replace cap and mix thoroughly by swirling.
5. Compare color with Chlorine standards.

Note: The ideal level is between 1 - 3 ppm

1. Fill large vial to solid line with pool water
2. Add one drop solution #4 (2 drops if chlorine test is above 1.5 ppm) and mix by swirling.
3. Add 5 drops solution #2 (pH Test) and mix by swirling.
4. Compare test to pH color standards.
5. If reading is above 7.6, perform Acid Demand Test #3 using the same water sample

Note: Test and adjust total alkalinity (if needed) before adjusting pH.

1. Use the water sample from the pH Test.
2. Add solution #3 one drop at a time, counting drops, swirling between drops, until color matches 7.6 to pH color standards.
3. Refer to Dry Acid Demand Chart below for proper amount of dry acid to be added to your pool.

1. Fill large test vial to lower broken line.
2. Add 1 drop solution #4 (2 drops if chlorine test was above 1.5 ppm) and mix thoroughly by swirling.
3. Add 1 drop solution #5 and mix thoroughly by swirling.
4. Add solution #3 one drop at a time (swirling between drops) and counting the number of drops necessary to change color to clear or light yellow.
5. Multiply drops of solution #3 used by 10. This will give you the part per million (ppm) of alkalinity.

Note: The ideal level is between:

80 - 100 ppm for Calcium Hypochlorite

100 - 120 ppm for Dichlor Granules

120 - 140 ppm for Trichlor Tablets
