OTO Solution #1
1. Fill small test vial to line with pool water.
2 Add 5 drops Solution 1.
3 Place cap on vial and invert several times to mix.
4. Free Chlorine Reading: Within 2-3 seconds, compare
color in tube with the chlorine standards on the left
to determine the free chlorine level (in ppm).
5. Combined Chlorine Reading: Wait 1-2 minutes and
compare the color in the tube again with the chlorine
standards to determine the combined chlorine
(chlorine residual) level (in ppm).
A desirable free chlorine reading is 2.0. However,
additional chlorine may be needed to maintain a proper
level. A difference of more than 0.2 ppm between the
Free Chlorine and Combined Chlorine level indicates a
need for superchlorination.
If chlorine residual is above 3.0, be sure to add 1
additional drop of Solution 4 to test vial during tests 2
and 4 to assure accurate results of the remaining tests.
TO TEST BROMINE
1. Rinse test vial marked BR and fill to mark with spa or
pool water.
2. Add 5 drops of #1 Solution.
3. Place cap on vial and invert several times to mix.
4. Match color in vial with bromine standards on the
right within 30 seconds (make sure the BR marked
side of the test block is being read). The results are
read in parts per million (ppm). A desirable reading
is 4.4 ppm. However, additional bromine may be
needed to maintain proper level.
