WATER TESTING
“REGARDLESS OF THE SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS NOW AVAILABLE, WHETHER IT IS A TABLET, STRIP OR A DIGITAL OPTION, THE RIGHT PRODUCT IS OUT THERE IN THE MARKET TO SUIT ALL NEEDS”
exact date and time the test was conducted with the results set against an account of their choosing. If, for instance, your engineers are maintaining the pool, you can programme the PrimeLab with the jobs that they need to visit during the week, then download the data to the central database when they return to base. It could not be easier! Each PrimeLab can be given a name on the Desktop Assistant and provide data on the conditions of your customers’ pools.
Steve Cooper of Pool-i.d. UK Ltd who supply the product to Certikin says: “The PrimeLab is the most sophisticated photometer in it’s class and can assist
The Pooltest 9 from Palintest features all the typical tests needed for pool water testing
on a regime of accurate control and measurement of any type of water. The PrimeLab is able to measure any colorimetric test method from aluminium to zinc with the use of reagents (mainly tablets but powders or liquids can be used if the customer prefers). It’s very different from the current products that use several LED’s at specific wavelength or interference filters and then use ‘transmission or absorption’ to get the result.”
The PrimeLab sensor measures the true colour of the sample and then provides a precise result against known standards for the parameter under test (all seamlessly via
the internal software) and then gives the result e.g. chlorine 1.23 mg/l. With each measurement, the PrimeLab measures the colour according to the CIE in seven different colour scales simultaneously!
POOLTEST 9 PREMIER SETS THE STANDARD
The Pooltest 9 Premier is quick and easy to use and provides accurate readings. It has pre-programmed tests for chlorine levels of bromine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, copper and ozone. The product stores up to 100 results from an on-board memory and there is a waterproof USB port for PC connection. Palintest’s Pooltest 9 and 25 Professional Plus units have built-in support for the new DPD XF and XT extended range chlorine test tablets.
A new balanced water calculation function was recently added, which automatically uses the results from the standard tests to produce a Palintest or Langelier index result. 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 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 re-enter the data manually, greatly speeding and easing the process. Recommended ideal conditioning agent parameters are then provided to aid swimming pool maintenance personnel. The Pooltest 9 version features all the typical tests needed for pool water testing, and the Pooltest 25 model includes capabilities for more specialised testing as well for example, sulphate and phosphate levels.
