Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these general steps for accurate water testing. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your kit for detailed procedures for each parameter.

Procediment general de proves:

1. Recollir aigua SampLI: Submerge the comparator or appropriate test tube into the pool/spa water to collect a sample up to the indicated fill line.
2. Afegir reactius: Add the specified number of drops of the relevant reagent(s) to the water sample. Ensure to hold the reagent bottle vertically to dispense uniform drops.
3. Barreja SampLI: Cap the test tube or comparator and invert several times to thoroughly mix the reagents with the water sample. Do not shake vigorously unless specified.
4. Determine Results: Compareu el color de l'aigua tractadaample to the color standards on the comparator or chart. Read the result that most closely matches the sample's color.
5. Resultats del registre: Keep a log of your test results to track trends and ensure consistent water balance.

Specific Test Parameters:

• Free & Total Chlorine/Bromine: Use the DPD reagents and comparator. Follow the steps to differentiate between free and total chlorine.
• pH: Use the pH reagent and comparator. The pH level indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the water.
• Acid & Base Demand: These tests help determine the amount of acid or base needed to adjust pH to the ideal range.
• Alcalinitat total: Use the large test tube and alkalinity reagents. This measures the water's buffering capacity.
• Duresa del calci: Use the large test tube and calcium hardness reagents. This measures the amount of dissolved calcium in the water.
• Cyanuric Acid (CYA): Use the small test tube and CYA reagent. This measures stabilizer levels, important for protecting chlorine from UV degradation.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance of your test kit ensures accurate results and extends its lifespan.

• Neteja d'equips: After each use, thoroughly rinse all test tubes and the comparator with clean tap water. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
• Emmagatzemar els reactius correctament: Keep reagent bottles tightly capped and stored in the original kit case in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures.
• Comprovar les dates de caducitat: Reagents have a limited shelf life. Check the expiration date on each bottle and replace expired reagents promptly. Using expired reagents can lead to inaccurate test results.
• Replace Reagents: Individual replacement reagents are available for purchase. If a specific reagent runs out before others, you can easily replace just that bottle.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues with your test results or kit, consider the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Lectures inexactes:
  • Assegureu-vos que els reactius no estiguin caducats.
  • Verify correct number of drops and proper mixing technique.
  • Check for contamination of test tubes or water sample.
  • Assegureu-vos que hi hagi aiguaample is taken from an appropriate depth (elbow deep, away from returns).
• Sense canvi de color:
  • Reagent may be expired or depleted.
  • Water parameter might be outside the testable range (e.g., extremely low chlorine).
• Ennuvolat SampLI:
  • This can occur with certain tests (e.g., CYA). Ensure proper mixing and allow sufficient time for the reaction to complete before reading.
