3. Water Tests<br />
Here’s how to perform <strong>the</strong> actual tests. For testing, use a test kit or bring a sample of at least 250 ml (1 cup)<br />
of your water to one of our stores on a regular basis. It’s free !<br />
• Make sure you change <strong>the</strong> bottles of OTO and PHENOL every year.<br />
• Check <strong>the</strong> expiration date on <strong>the</strong> bottle containing <strong>the</strong> test strips.<br />
• Check if <strong>the</strong> sand is dirty, worn or contaminated (algae present). If so, change <strong>the</strong> sand.<br />
• Make sure to apply <strong>the</strong> recommended quantity and concentration of algicide regularly (once a week).<br />
• Make sure <strong>the</strong> filtration system runs at least 12 out of 24 hours.<br />
• Make sure <strong>the</strong> solar blanket does not remain on <strong>the</strong> <strong>pool</strong> for more than 48 hours; this prevents oxygen<br />
from entering <strong>the</strong> water.<br />
TeST WITH STRIP<br />
a) Dip a strip into <strong>the</strong> water horizontally for one second.<br />
b) Take <strong>the</strong> strip out and wait 15 seconds. Compare <strong>the</strong> colours obtained with those shown on <strong>the</strong> bottle.<br />
You will be able to tell if <strong>the</strong> chemicals are balanced or need adjusting.<br />
TeST WITH TUBeS<br />
a) Fill <strong>the</strong> two test tubes with water and pour off <strong>the</strong> excess.<br />
b) Add <strong>the</strong> required number of drops to each test tube. Put five drops of OTO in <strong>the</strong> test tube for<br />
chlorine and five drops of PHENOL in <strong>the</strong> test tube for <strong>the</strong> pH test.<br />
c) Insert <strong>the</strong> stopper and shake <strong>the</strong> whole device.<br />
d) Compare <strong>the</strong> colours obtained with those shown on each side.<br />
