From Troubled Water to Quality Waters

July 2002

The recent study by consumer magazine Which? of 61 samples from public and private pools and spas has shown that regular water monitoring is vital for ensuring that pool and spa water is kept at its best. Regular testing is made simple by the Palintest range of Pooltest kits, used throughout the world. They are easy to operate, even for those with no experience and produce rapid, reliable results.

The Which? study found that 35 of the samples, over half of those tested in the survey, fell outside acceptable standards. The magazine concluded that frequent water testing and adjustment is necessary to maintain good pool water quality. Palintest is the market leader in colorimetric water test kits and instruments which are specifically designed for the regular monitoring of pool water hygiene, and make it simple to achieve quality water.

Our range of range test kits and instruments were recently evaluated and highly rated on the front page of the official publication of the Professional Pool Operators of America. They are suited to the management of all sizes of pool, from private pools and spas up to hotel and public recreational pools. Central to the range are the Pooltest photometers which provide a quick ,accurate method for measurement of an extensive range of pool and spa water parameters.

The photometers range from the hand-held Pooltest 3, ideal for routine monitoring of disinfectant and pH levels, to the Pooltest 25, a professional photometer that helps pool managers optimise water quality and minimise operating costs by matching treatment programs to daily or weekly pool use patterns. Lightweight and portable, it measures an extensive range of pool and spa water parameters can can be linked to a computer to provide a pool water management system and database.
