5, Jul 2025
Maintaining proper chlorine levels in swimming pools is a critical concern for facility operators, hotels, resorts, and pool service businesses. LaMotte Pacific’s pool chlorine test kits in Australia —including the Chlorine‑Free/Total pH Test Kit, Chlorine‑Free/Total Test Kit, and Total Chlorine Test Kit—are designed for streamlined swimming pool water testing: fast, reliable, and ideal for commercial workflows.
Product Portfolio Overview
Chlorine‑Free/Total pH Test Kit (Order Code varies)
- Measures Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, and pH.
- Utilizes DPD reagents and the Octa‑Slide™ 2 Comparator for colorimetric readings.
- Sensitivity:
- Free/Total Chlorine: ranges from 0.2 to 3.0 ppm (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 ppm),
- pH range: 6.8–8.2.
- Capacity: ~50 tests per kit. Ideal for mid‑frequency monitoring and compliance testing in pools with regulated sanitizer protocols.
Chlorine‑Free/Total Test Kit (similar configuration)
- Tests Free and Total Chlorine only (no pH).
- Same DPD tablet and Octa‑Slide comparator system.
- Range: 0.2–3.0 ppm for chlorine.
- Typically offered at a lower price point with fewer reagents.
Total Chlorine Test Kit (Order Code 2979)
- Measures only Total Chlorine (no free chlorine or pH).
- Test strip format: 50 strips per bottle.
- Range and sensitivity: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 ppm. Offers rapid visual results via color comparison pads.
Technical Strengths & Operational Advantages
- DPD Tablet + Octa‑Slide comparator system enables high-precision readings: Free and Total Chlorine sensitivities from 0.2 ppm upward are essential for compliance-based environments.
- Colorimetric accuracy ensures consistent field measurements regardless of sample turbidity or lighting conditions.
- Portable and robust: quad-reagent design and compact kit format support on-site professionalism and repeated use.
- Clear comparator plates reduce interpretation variance—ideal for technician teams with rotating shifts.
Data‑Driven Insights for Business Use
Efficiency & Throughput
- With 50 tests per kit, these kits support weekly or bi‑weekly rounds, depending on pool size and regulation schedules.
- Field staff can complete sample-read-adjust protocols in under two minutes—reducing testing cycle time by over 60% compared with full titration or photometric systems.
Cost & Inventory Management
- DPD tablet refills and Octa‑Slide comparators require minimal storage and no instrument calibration.
- The modular kit format (Free/Total/optional pH) allows service providers to optimize spend based on testing requirements.
Regulatory Compliance & Documentation
- Free and Total Chlorine measured at regulated thresholds (0.2–3.0 ppm) meet municipal guidelines for public pool safety.
- Octa‑Slide results can be logged with timestamped notes, creating audit-ready documentation for health inspections.
Use‑Case Differentiation: Select the Right Kit
- Total Chlorine Test Kit (2979) is ideal when you only need residual chlorine checks—quick, strip-based, low-cost.
- Chlorine‑Free/Total Test Kit (tablet + comparator) provides dual-chlorine measurement—valuable where combined chlorine (chloramines) levels must be tracked to manage bather load or source water effects.
- Chlorine‑Free/Total pH Test Kit delivers the most actionable data—especially important in commercial pools where balancing pH ensures sanitizer performance and guest comfort.
Product Summary
- Chlorine‑Free/Total pH Test Kit – combines Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, and pH measurement using DPD tablets and Octa‑Slide comparator; range up to 3.0 ppm chlorine, pH 6.8–8.2; ~50 tests per kit.
- Chlorine‑Free/Total Test Kit – DPD dual-chlorine strip format; similar sensitivity range; optimized for cost and chlorine-only measurements.
- Total Chlorine Test Kit – visual color-strip kit measuring only Total Chlorine at 0.5–5 ppm; 50 strips per bottle; fastest baseline screening.
