TFTestkit FAS-DPD Water Chemistry Test Kit

August 22, 2012   Learn, Pool Chemistry, Product Reviews
    One of the most important components of routine swimming pool maintenance is regular water chemistry testing. Water chemistry is a delicate, interlinked chain of actions and reactions, so staying proactive is the best way to maintain your pool’s surfaces and keep your water sparkling clear all year round.

    For a comprehensive kit with step-by-step instructions and reliable results, we highly recommend the TFTestkit FAS-DPD Test Kit. Here’s what makes it a PoolSupplyWorld favorite:
    • This complete kit measures seven vital components, which we’ll go over in detail below.
    • Measures free chlorine (FAS/DPD) levels up to 50ppm – a much wider range than other kits. Having the ability to test chlorine levels so accurately is crucial when you’re getting an imbalance under control.
    • Includes larger quantities of the reagents you’ll use more often, such as the cyanuric acid (CYA) and the FAS/DPD chlorine reagents, so one kit will typically last several seasons.
    • As a bonus, this kit also includes the Taylor K-1000 Basic Residential Pool & Spa Test Kit, which is a great way to get a basic reading of chlorine, bromine, and pH levels if you don’t have the time for a full work-up.
    • Step-by-step instructions are printed on a single sheet of laminated paper, making them waterproof and easy to follow when you’re poolside.
    • The kit comes in a large, organized plastic tackle box so it’s easy to use and convenient to store.

    The TFTestkit FAS-DPD Test Kit accurately measures:
    Total Chlorine (also known as OTO) – The most common cause of pool water trouble is a lack of chlorine. During peak season, testing your chlorine levels daily and adjusting accordingly will kill burgeoning algae and keep your water free of bacteria.
    Combined Chloramines (CCs) – Keeping an eye on your CC levels will ensure your pool doesn’t smell strongly of chlorine. Combined Chloramine levels are directly related to Free Chlorine levels and occur when FC is working in your water to break down contaminants.
    Total Alkalinity (TA) – This measures your water’s ability to handle changes in pH levels, so consider Total Alkalinity readings to be good indicators of what’s going on with your pH levels. If you have low Total Alkalinity, your pH levels may fluctuate widely.  If your TA levels are high, expect to see elevated pH levels as well.
    Calcium Hardness (CH) – Keeping proper calcium levels in your water will protect everything from the integrity and appearance of your pool surfaces to the rubidium coating on the plates of your salt chlorine generator.
    Cyanuric Acid (CYA) – Cyanuric Acid acts like sunscreen for your chlorine, protecting it from burning off in high heat and UV exposure.  Keeping your CYA levels in check will ensure you get the most from your chlorine while keeping your water safe and clear.
    pH – Keeping your pH levels between 7.2 and 7.8 ppm will help protect your pool equipment and prevent irritation to your skin and eyes when you swim.
    Free Chlorine/Combined Chlorine (FAS/DPD) – Measuring FAS/DPD levels provides an extremely precise reading of chlorine, which this kit measures up to 50ppm.
