Proper water management starts with the analysis of the pool or spa water.  Tests such as pH and chlorine need to be performed on a  frequent or daily basis, depending upon the usage conditions.  The Chlorine test should be performed by a method that tests for Free Chlorine, as it is the most important form.  Tests such as chlorine stabilizer,  total alkalinity and calcium hardness are performed occasionally during the season.  Pool & Spa water testers, for these common and routine tests are available, in a variety of easy-to-use products!. 

The NEW ColorQ Water Digital Analyzers perform 4-11 different tests, depending on the model.  These all-digital testers require no look-up charts and eliminate all the guesswork.  Simple to use, reliable and fast!  The perfect testers, for those with color vision impairment or difficulties or those seeking more reliability and accuracy!  Being better informed helps reduce problems and saves money!

For Professional, in-store use, the WaterLink Express is as good as it gets.  Simple to use, fast, accurate and able to interface, with the optional computerized water analysis, this lab will serve your customers well.  The WaterLink Express Lab performs all of the common pool and spa tests, plus iron, copper, nitrate and borate.  The NEW WaterLink 3 Express Lab adds the phosphate, manganese, biguanide and biguanide shock tests, to the already impressive capability of the original WaterLink Express Lab.  Everything a pool professional might want and more!

Occasionally, water quality issues arise that require a more specialized test:  one that is performed with less frequency and, for which, test kits are less readily available or familiar.  Tests for heavy metals such as iron, manganese or copper should be performed, as a means of determining the possible cause of  water discoloration or a surface staining problem.  Tests for nitrates and phosphates should be performed, if there are instances of algae growth that seem unusual or, for which, there is no apparent explanation.  Salt (sodium chloride) testing is important, in addition to the other standard tests, if a salt chlorinator is being used.  Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) testing can be important in very hard water situations, if a more obvious explanation is lacking for poor water quality, cloudiness or scaling.   The PockeTesters for salt and TDS are suitable for in the store or at the poolside.  Ozone testing is important, as a means of confirming that an ozonator is functioning adequately or properly.  Biguanide-maintained pools and spas require periodic testing of the biguanide levels, pH and shock.  Test your water with ease and convenience with Insta-Test Strips.  The Insta-Test 3, 4, 5 & 6 Test Strips can test for 3 to 6 of the most important pool or spa tests.  Strips are available to test for Borates, Phosphates,  Peroxide, Monopersulfate, Sodium Bromide, Copper & Iron and Copper pH & TA.  The PRO Series of Test Strips are designed to meet the on-site ends of pool professionals.  Most of the test strips include trilingual instructions:  English, French and Spanish.  The pool & spa water testers, featured below, are used by pool & spa owners, pool & spa professionals, pool & spa facility operators and health inspectors , as a means of solving problems, assuring proper water chemistry and promoting proper water management.  Most come with materials to perform a minimum of 50 tests.  The ordering of replacement chemicals can be done online.  Just click the "Replacement Items Ordering" buttons on the left side of the screen, near the picture of the appropriate tester or visit the Replacement Testing Chemicals & Supplies Page.  All items ordered will end up in the same shopping cart, no matter which page, of this website, the items are located on.  One order does it all!
