4. Understanding Your Results

The 7-in-1 test strips measure the following parameters. Refer to the color chart on your bottle for ideal ranges and to interpret your results.

• Hardness (GH): Indicates the concentration of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium.
• Total Alkalinity (KH): Measures the water's ability to resist changes in pH.
• Cyanuric Acid (CYA): Stabilizes chlorine in outdoor pools, protecting it from UV degradation.
• Total Chlorine (TCL): The total amount of chlorine present in the water, including both free and combined chlorine.
• Free Chlorine (CL2): The active chlorine available to sanitize the water.
• Bromine (Br): An alternative sanitizer to chlorine, often used in spas and hot tubs.
• pH: Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. The recommended pH range for pools and spas is typically 6.0-8.0.

5. Maintenance and Storage

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your test strips:

• Always reseal the bottle immediately after removing a strip to protect the remaining strips from moisture and light.
• Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Do not touch the colored pads of the test strips with your fingers, as oils and contaminants can affect accuracy.
• The test strips have a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored correctly. Check the expiration date on the bottle.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter unexpected results or issues:

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure you followed the operating instructions precisely, especially the immersion time (2 seconds) and waiting time (30 seconds).
• Expired Strips: Check the expiration date on the bottle. Expired strips may give unreliable results.
• Improper Storage: If strips were exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures, their accuracy might be compromised.
• Re-test: Perform a second test to confirm the initial reading.
• Water Sample: Ensure the water sample is representative of the entire pool/spa and not just surface water.
