Chemicals & Chlorine

PH – An ideal PH level ranging from 7.2 – 7.6 keeps the water from causing corrosion or scaling… Total Alkalinity – keeping this correct will stop sudden PH changes.

Cyanuric Acid (Stabiliser) – A correct stabiliser level prevents chlorine being lost to sunlight. Dip a test strip in the pool or spa and compare to the color chart for results.

• Thorough analysis of 7 critical parameters: free chlorine, total chlorine, total bromine, total hardness, pH, total alkalinity, and cyanuric acid
• Simple, fast, and accurate results in seconds – Simply dip the strip in water and compare the test strip colors with the included comparator on the bottle
• Optimized color vibrancy and accuracy – Each AquaChek color pad is precisely engineered with a unique chemistry paper to mitigate color bleed, ensuring accurate results
• 100 tests in every bottle – Each bottle includes 100 high-quality test strips

For salt generator system pools, in just a minute, AquaChek test strips measure salt (sodium chloride) levels from 400 to 7, 000 ppm.

With appropriate salt levels, you can rest assured that your salt generator will be able to produce the correct amount of chlorine to keep water clean & free of contaminants.

For a clean & healthy pool, test the water at least twice a week.

A convenient and easy way to check your swimming pool phosphate level. Each test kit includes testing powder pillow and a sampling vial. The test only takes 60 seconds for accurate results and measures phosphates from 0 to 1000 parts per billion. Use the most accurate method for phosphate testing: a one step, one minute, phosphate test.

Even very low levels of phosphate can feed algae and create problems in pool water. Test for phosphate once a week as the concentration in the water can increase rapidly due to rain, debris or bather load.

• Measures phosphate from 0 to 1000 parts per billion
• Results appear in just 30 seconds
• Quick and easy water testing, no mess
• Each pack includes 20 strips

This easy to use kit gives you the ability to accurately measure all the critical elements of water chemistry, including free and total chlorine, bromine, pH, total alkalinity, and acid demand.

This kit includes (1) 3/4 ounce bottle of each of these testing reagents as well as the graduated cylinder with a built-in measurement chart.

Simply fill the cylinder with pool water and add the correct reagents according to the supplied directions, and you will have highly accurate results in seconds.

Comes in a heavy duty case for storage and transport.

When it comes to commercial pools, maintaining safe pool/spa water for the public is an important responsibility. Taylor Technologies K-2005 Complete Test Kits provide precise test results for commercial pools.

Series kits feature six different standards for chlorine (High Range: 0.5-5 ppm, Low Range: 0.25-2.5 ppm), bromine (HR: 1-10 ppm, LR: .5-5 ppm) and pH (7.0 to 8.0). The Taylor Complete kit includes nine tests for thorough testing: Total Chlorine, Free Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Acid Demand, Base Demand, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid. Includes 3/4 ounce reagent bottles.

Chlorine is a chemical sanitizer that typically comes in either tablet, powder or liquid form, which is added to your swimming pool in order to keep your pool water clean and safe to swim.

There are 5 types of Chlorine… Sodium hypochlorite, Lithium hypochlorite, Calcium hypochlorite, Dichlor, and Trichlor.   Each Chlorine type has a different purpose based on what kind of pool you have so it is important to know the difference between the five types and what type is best for your pool.

In Trinidad, and at Kaufmann Pools, we sell and use mostly Trichlor (both Tablet and Granular) ..

Ask for: Stablised Chlorine Granules, also know as Black Algae destroyer..You will get Trichlor in granular form.

Ask for: Stablised Chlorine Tablets…. You will get Trichlor in 3” tablets

Ask for SHOCK …. You will get Calcium hypochlorite in granular form.
