For most pools, the water
users can also benefit from App technology. The award-winning Scuba II enables home owners to benefit from the entrusted Lovibond®
technology used in public pools at a cost suited, of course, to private gardens. The Scuba II is a small, compact, easy-to- use digital water tester for the five most important tests: free chlorine, total chlorine, pH, alkalinity and cyanuric acid. Results can be programmed in PoolM8 (also free to download for Android™ and iOS®
) where
balanced water readings (or the Langelier Index) can be calculated, saved and likewise mailed.
For most pools, the water should be in balance if the pH value is kept within the recommended range. However, there are other factors that can have an effect on the condition of the water.
Regularly monitoring and maintaining alkalinity within the proposed range keeps the pH stable and helps the effectiveness of disinfectant used in the pool. High alkalinity levels reduce the effectiveness of adding acid or alkali to the water: low alkalinity levels increase their effectiveness: either way, pH levels are more difficult to change.
Changes in calcium hardness levels can affect fixtures and fittings within the pool. Low levels often result in the loss of grout around the tiles, as the water tries to satisfy its need for calcium. High levels can lead
to build up of calcium, leaving deposits in the pool structure and pipe work. This can reduce the efficiency of the filters, increasing maintenance, labour and time. High levels can also affect other tests, including the DPD test for chlorine.
An ideal, slightly positive balanced water will leave a thin layer of calcium which acts as protection against corrosion.
MOBILE WATERLINK SPIN FROM LAMOTTE The WaterLink Spin photometer is a revolutionary professional water analysis laboratory that can achieve a full suite of water analysis, with just one water sample, in just 60 seconds. Each unique reagent disk contains the exact amount of reagent to measure, pH, total chlorine, free chlorine and seven other parameters of water chemistry. Designed to make pool and spa analysts’ lives easier, the WaterLink Spin is available as an in-store lab or mobile lab that can be taken pool-side in its sturdy waterproof carry case.
The in-store lab is run from a laptop or desktop computer. Using either DataMate10 or the Cloud based DataMate Web software; a recommendation based report is generated. Relevant customer information, details of their pool or spa and a history of previous tests are stored on the software making for a quick, easy and customer centric approach to in-store water testing.
Utilising the latest Bluetooth®
technology, the mobile spin lab can be run wirelessly via the WaterLink Spin Android™ app. Once the test is complete, the app presents the results on screen as PPM readings within seconds. Add an internet connection and you can generate a full recommendation based report via Cloud based DataMate Web software. The pool can then be treated there and then.
No more guessing at colour

PRIMELAB – A POPULAR CHOICE IN WATER TESTING
The PrimeLab 1.0 Multitest Bluetooth® photometer from Pool-i.d. is a portable and easy to use device for testing pool and spa water, utilising latest technologies and is a popular choice when it comes to water testing. Available through Certikin International and Complete Pool Controls , the handheld PrimeLab 1.0 Multitest is the only photometer with just one JENCOLOR multi- spectral sensor; it is possible to measure all water parameters where the water sample is visibly discoloured after the addition of a reagent. The excellent accuracy of the JENCOLOR sensor even allows self- calibration of the system at the press of a button and one LED to cover 400 different wavelengths simultaneously.
