Elevate Pool Operations with LaMotte Pacific’s ColorQ® 2x Testing Solutions

For pool management professionals, from facilities managers to commercial installers and maintenance contractors, precision in water chemistry is non‑negotiable. LaMotte Pacific’s ColorQ® 2x digital photometers—specifically the TesTabs® PRO 7, PRO 9, and Home Pool 7 models—are engineered to deliver laboratory‑grade accuracy, ease of use, and scalability. These devices redefine pool water testing equipment in Australia, allowing businesses to reduce liability, streamline operations, and deliver higher service value.

Portfolio Overview: ColorQ® 2x Lineup

1. ColorQ® 2x TesTabs PRO 7 (Order Code 2087)

• Digital, waterproof photometer measuring 7 critical parameters: Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, Cyanuric Acid.
• Includes 100 TesTabs® per factor in blister foil, enabling up to 144 tests for chlorine, pH, and bromine, and 100 tests each for alkalinity, hardness, and CYA
• Ideal for operators performing frequent, routine quality checks with minimal downtime.

2. ColorQ® 2x TesTabs PRO 9

• Builds on the PRO 7 by adding copper and iron testing, vital when source water or corrosion control is a concern.
• Supports metal mitigation strategies and compliance with health protocols (especially in institutional and hospitality settings).

3. ColorQ® 2x Home Pool 7 Kit

• Consumer-focused version tailored for smaller scale use (20 tests per parameter), yet maintaining the same digital accuracy and Bluetooth-enabled data logging.

Technical Deep Dive: Features & Performance

• Dual‑optic photometer: Eliminates subjective color comparison and interpretive error common in strip-based or visual titration methods
• Bluetooth connectivity: Writes test results into the WaterLink® Solutions PRO app—enabling data capture, trend monitoring, and automated reporting.
• Waterproof housing + ergonomic design: Built for demanding poolside environments; features push-button control, trilingual instructions, and automatic shut-off after five minutes to conserve battery (2×AA included)
• NSF/ANSI 50 certification (effective June 2024): Confirms the PRO 7 kits meet standardized accuracy thresholds for Free Chlorine (0–8 ppm L1/L2), combined chlorine, pH, and Cyanuric Acid ranges—providing verifiable reliability across service contracts .

Operational Benefits: Efficiency & Compliance

Reliability & Repeatability

• Free Chlorine results within ±0.1 ppm across 144 tests—ensuring consistency throughout a season with no calibration drift detected during field audits.

Cost Forecasting

• PROFITABILITY: At 144 tests per reagent, PRO 7 effectively supports hundreds of pools before replenishment. Bulk TesTabs® purchases reduce cost per test, improving project margins.

Risk Management & Compliance

• Digital logging with WaterLink® enables timestamped, GPS-tagged, cloud-stored records: invaluable for regulatory compliance, audit logs, and service documentation.
• NSF‑certified result ranges support municipal and hospitality risk protocols, limiting legal exposure from water-borne incidents.

Upsell & Differentiation Opportunities

• Integrate testing kits into service subscription models: clients pay a recurring fee for regular testing kits and digital analyses.
• Offer test-kit-as-a-service bundles for property managers, resorts, and fitness clubs.

Market Context & Competitive Advantage

Comparison to Test Strips or Titration Kits

• Visual strips suffer from operator variability (lighting, perception, shading). Liquid titrators require chemical handling and interpretation; both are manual, subjective, and less scalable.
• In contrast, ColorQ® 2x delivers digitally quantified, operator-agnostic readings—ideal for large-scale, repeatable service work.

Why PRO 7 and PRO 9 stand out

• PRO 9’s metal parameter testing (iron, copper) is essential for institutional use cases where source water quality or older piping may introduce contamination risks.
• All units surpass traditional portable labs by offering both handheld convenience and lab-level metrics—without bulky gear or chemical disposal protocols.
