Complete Kit for Cl, pH, Alk, CH, CYA (FAS-DPD–high range) (.75 Oz Bottle)

Complete™ kit for Cl, pH, Alk, CH, CYA (FAS-DPD–high range) (.75 Oz Bottle)

The Complete™ kit is an all-in-one solution for testing chlorine (Cl), pH, alkalinity (Alk), calcium hardness (CH), and cyanuric acid (CYA) levels in your pool or spa. This comprehensive kit comes with a .75 oz bottle of FAS-DPD reagent, which is specifically designed for high range testing.

With this kit, you can easily and accurately test all the essential levels to ensure your pool or spa is properly balanced and safe for swimming. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pool owner, this kit has everything you need to maintain crystal clear water.

Why Test Cl, pH, Alk, CH, CYA Levels?

Testing these levels is crucial for maintaining a healthy and safe swimming environment. Chlorine is the primary sanitizer used in pools and spas, killing bacteria and other harmful contaminants. However, too much or too little chlorine can cause skin irritation, eye irritation, and even illnesses.

pH is another important factor to consider when testing your pool or spa water. The ideal pH range for a pool is between 7.2-7.8, as this is where chlorine is most effective and not too harsh on swimmers' skin and eyes. If the pH is too high or low, it can affect water balance and lead to corrosion, scaling, or algae growth.

Alkalinity helps to stabilize pH levels and prevent drastic changes in acidity. Low alkalinity can cause pH fluctuations, making it difficult to maintain a balanced pool or spa. High alkalinity can lead to cloudy water and difficulty adjusting pH levels.

Calcium hardness refers to the amount of dissolved calcium in the water. Low levels can cause corrosion, while high levels can lead to scaling on pool surfaces and equipment.

Finally, cyanuric acid is used as a stabilizer for chlorine, preventing it from being broken down by sunlight. However, too much cyanuric acid can hinder chlorine's effectiveness and require more frequent shocking of the pool.

How to Use the Complete™ Kit

Using the Complete™ kit is simple and easy. First, fill a test tube with water from your pool or spa using the convenient measuring line on the bottle cap. Next, add 5 drops of FAS-DPD reagent and swirl to mix. The color of the water will change, indicating the chlorine level. Using the included color comparator, match the color of your sample to determine the exact chlorine level.

Repeat this process for pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid using their respective reagents and comparators. The kit also includes a clear instruction manual for easy reference.

Maintaining the Proper Levels

After testing, you may find that one or more levels are out of range. The kit includes recommended ranges for each level and instructions on how to adjust them. For example, if your pH is too high, you can use a pH decreaser to lower it to the recommended level.

Regular testing and maintenance of these levels will ensure a clean, safe, and enjoyable swimming experience for you and your family. With the Complete™ kit, you can easily stay on top of your pool or spa's water chemistry. So why wait? Get yours today and have peace of mind knowing your pool or spa is properly balanced!

Additional Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Pool or Spa

In addition to using the Complete™ kit, there are other steps you can take to maintain a healthy pool or spa:

• Regularly skim and vacuum the pool to remove debris and prevent algae growth.
• Keep pool filters clean and regularly backwash them if needed.
• Shock the pool after heavy usage or rainfall to keep chlorine levels balanced.
• Check and adjust pH levels weekly, or after heavy usage or rainfall.
• Test for total alkalinity and calcium hardness every 2-3 weeks.

By following these tips and using the Complete™ kit, you can ensure that your pool or spa remains a safe and enjoyable place for swimming all season long. Happy swimming! ̈
