The PoolMaster 5-Way Pool Test Kit is used in residential pools for testing basic elements including pH, Free/Combined Chlorine, Bromine, Acid Demand, and Total Alkalinity. It includes 1 ounce and .5 ounce liquid reagents. 

It does this by using a color comparator and a drop test to visually determine current levels of pH, chlorine, etc. Reagents are stored in a sturdy blue case and include PoolMaster liquid reagents Number 1 Chlorine/Bromine Indicator, Number 2 pH Indicator, and Number 3 Acid Demand/Alkalinity in one ounce bottles, and Number 4 Chlorine Neutralizer and Number 5 Total Alkalinity in 1/2 ounce bottles.

Proper and frequent testing of pool and spa water is your first line of defense in protecting your family and your pool or spa. The ideal level of pH should be between 7.4 and 7.6. Chlorine residual should be between 1.0 and 3.0 ppm.

Instructions for the PoolMaster 5-Way Test Kit (Chlorine Test

1. Fill small test vial to line.

2. Add 5 drops Solution Reagent #1

3. Place cap on vial and swirl to mix.

4. For Free Chlorine Reading, within 2-3 seconds, compare color with chlorine standards on comparator to determine the Free Chlorine ppm.

5. For Combined Chlorine Reading, wait 1 to 2 minutes and compare again to determine the combined chlorine ppm level. A large difference between the two readings (more than 0.2 ppm) indicates a need for super chlorination.

6. Other test instructions included in kit on place-card and in booklet.
