Turbidity is used to measure the clarity of pools and spas. This is important to ensure that swimmers, lifeguards and camera systems can see clearly through the water for safety reasons. However, it is also important to monitor the turbidity to ensure filtration systems are working effectively, and that there is not an imbalance in the chemistry of the pool.

For more information about the importance of monitoring turbidity in swimming pools and spas, read our article here.

Monopersulfate can react with the DPD total chlorine test causing a false high total test, and thus, a false combined chlorine reading. The DPD Oxystop tablet eliminates this interference allowing an accurate measurement of total chlorine. This should be used prior to the DPD #3 tablet. The DPD Oxystop tablet may also be used in exactly the same manner with the DPD XT tablets.

These use a disc or a chart with coloured panels, each labelled with a figure. Normally, tablet reagents are added to the sample and the colour that develops is matched to a panel on the chart or disc. View visual test methods here.

Test Strips also use the principle of colour matching.  The reagents are already present on the test strip.  You simply dip them in the sample and compare the colour to a chart on the container.
