photometer, and provides a high level of accuracy. The Pooltest 9 and 25 Professional Plus units from Palintest have built-in support for the new DPD XF and XT extended range chlorine test tablets. A balanced water calculation function has also been added. The standard or extended chlorine ranges can be easily selected from the settings menu, which means that the buttons and test regimes are kept the same at all times. Both free and total chlorine levels for 0-10 ppm are covered by the DPD XF and XT tablets respectively, and the tests work in exactly the same simple way as the original 0-5 ppm range.
The second new feature is the built-in water balance calculation. This converts results from the usual chemical tests without the need to manually re-enter the data, greatly speeding and easing the process. Recommended ideal conditioning agent parameters are then provided to aid swimming pool maintenance personnel.
The Pooltest 25 model includes capabilities for more specialised testing as well (e.g. sulphate and phosphate levels). Both feature large, backlit LCD screens for simple and

quick menu navigation, with on- screen instructions and automatic wavelength selections making testing programmes as easy as possible. To ensure testing is carried out correctly and with accurate results, it is essential that relevant staff are trained appropriately – a key theme when it comes to water testing being effective.
The Tintometer Group, the global manufacturer and distributor of the Lovibond brand water analysis and colour measurement technology recently strengthened its strong position in the testing market place when it acquired the Kittiwake business.
Kittiwake’s range of products will help the expansion of the Lovibond brand in the industrial water testing market.
Lovibond Tintometer has been a leading supplier of pool water testing equipment for over 50 years. The company offers a wide range of testing equipment to meet every application and pocket. The range includes simple block testers through to photometer- based digital systems. The newest addition is the MD100 PoolControl Range which comprises two models – MD100 3in1 for chlorine and pH, MD100 6in1 for chlorine, pH, bromine, total alkalinity and calcium hardness.
Lovibond Tintometer is running water testing training courses around the country throughout this year to step up the quality of training in water testing.
The courses, suitable for anyone involved in pool water testing, include: taking the sample; good practice in testing; what we test for and why; testing
equipment and correct usage; an overview of balanced water and an on-hand, practical session where candidates can test samples of their own pool water.

Golden Coast has re-introduced its ‘Swimmer Water Analysis Software’, to enable dealers to have customers’ pool and spa water tested
Lovibond Tintometer is offering 10% off these training courses throughout 2011 and will have a special deal available at SPATEX. Golden Coast has re-introduced its ‘Swimmer Water Analysis Software’, to support the pool trade and enable dealers to have customers’ pool and spa water tested for quality.
The software, first launched in the early 1990s has undergone a complete facelift and allows dealers to develop a database of their customers’ pools and spas. In conjunction with water laboratory testing, dealers can provide a detailed analysis of the water quality of customers’ pools or spas, enabling them to give a series of recommendations to rectify any problems.
Owners looking for a quick and easy way to check pool water quality rather than using the traditional testing method of taking a water sample, adding a reagent tablet and referring to a colour chart, have a choice of three systems available from Golden Coast.
The CoolPooltester uses similar technology to the photometers used by professionals and reads the colour electronically to give an instant, accurate numerical readout eliminating human error and reducing hassle.
‘Pooltest 6’ kit is a hand-held photometer that tests the levels of chlorine, pH and cyanuric acid, plus bromine, alkalinity and calcium hardness of the water.
‘Insta-Test’ strips also provide instant results. The user just swirls the test strip in the water and reads the levels off against pre-graduated scales printed on the moisture- proof plastic canister container. Two kits are available with 50 strips in each pack: the Insta-Test 3 which tests for free chlorine, bromine, as well as pH, alkalinity and water hardness, and the Insta-Test 5, which covers all the above and also tests for total chlorine and total hardness. Sword Scientific Ltd has given
it’s pool and spa customers access to the La Motte Pool and Spa test instruments from Maryland in the United States which includes the highly respected Insta-Test strips, the multi-test ColorQ kits and the rugged Pool MGR comparator system. Said Sword Scientifics’ Tom Schofield: “Pool and spa owners are always looking for something quick and easy. Insta-Test is an unbeatable test system. We guarantee the Insta- Test pool and spa strips will help maintain proper free chlorine levels and balanced water.”
Sword Scientific which has investments and products marketed in a range of pharmaceutical,
“
...the key to efficient pool maintenance is to ensure that the levels of chlorine, cyanuric acid and pH are correct”
