1. Product Overview
The Bayrol Aquabrome Quick Test 50 Test Strips are designed for simple and rapid analysis of pool water. These test strips allow for the measurement of four key parameters: Bromine content, pH level, Total Alkalinity (TAC), and Algicide concentration.
Each test strip features four reactive squares, one for each parameter. Upon contact with water, these squares change color according to the parameter values. The results are then easily determined by comparing the color changes to a reference color chart provided with the product. Identifying deviations allows for timely correction using appropriate pool treatment products.
Important Safety Note: This product is classified as dangerous. Always observe precautions for use as indicated on the product packaging.

2. Setup and Preparation
Before using the test strips, ensure you have the following:
- Bayrol Aquabrome Quick Test 50 Test Strips.
- The reference color chart (located on the product container).
- A clean, dry surface for placing the test strip after dipping.
Store the test strips in their original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their accuracy and shelf life.
3. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for accurate pool water testing:
- Collect Water Sample: Dip a test strip directly into the pool water, approximately 30 cm (12 inches) below the surface, away from skimmers or return jets.
- Dip and Remove: Hold the strip in the water for approximately 1-2 seconds. Do not swirl or shake the strip.
- Remove Excess Water: Remove the strip from the water and shake off any excess water with a single, quick flick of the wrist. Do not wipe the reactive pads.
- Wait for Color Development: Hold the strip horizontally for 15-30 seconds to allow the colors to develop. Refer to the specific timing instructions on your product packaging, as it may vary slightly.
- Compare to Color Chart: Immediately compare the colors of the reactive squares on the strip to the color chart provided on the Aquabrome Quick Test container. Match each square to the closest color on the chart to determine the values for Bromine, pH, Total Alkalinity, and Algicide.
- Record Results: It is recommended to record your test results to track water quality trends and ensure consistent treatment.
Frequency of Testing: For optimal pool water quality, it is recommended to perform this test weekly.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your test strips ensures accurate readings:
- Storage: Always reseal the container immediately after removing a test strip to protect the remaining strips from moisture and contamination.
- Expiration: Check the expiration date on the packaging. Do not use expired test strips as their accuracy may be compromised.
- Handling: Avoid touching the reactive pads of the test strips with your fingers, as oils and contaminants can affect the results.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your test results:
- Inconsistent Readings: Ensure the test strip was dipped for the correct duration and that excess water was properly shaken off. Verify the strips are not expired and have been stored correctly.
- Difficulty Matching Colors: Ensure you are comparing the strip to the color chart under good lighting conditions. If colors are ambiguous, re-test with a fresh strip.
- Unexpected High/Low Readings: If results are significantly different from previous tests or expected values, re-test to confirm. If confirmed, adjust pool chemistry as necessary using appropriate Bayrol products.
