Tester for measuring free chlorine (bromine) and pH in pool water.
Chlorine / Bromine Content Test
The ideal free chlorine level in a pool is 1 – 1.5 mg/liter (according to Decree No. 135/2004 Coll., 0.3 - 0.6 mg/liter and the maximum permissible combined chlorine level is 0.3 mg/liter). The ideal total bromine level in a pool is 3 - 5 mg/liter.
pH Test
The pH value of water expresses the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a chemical substance. The ideal value for pools is 7.2 - 7.6. A pH higher than 7.6 leads to the formation of various mineral cloudiness, limescale, and other deposits. A pH lower than 7.2 causes corrosion of metal surfaces. The pH value affects the solubility and effectiveness of the disinfectants used.
