Using the Test Kit

Before starting, make sure your hands are clean and dry. This will help prevent contamination of the reagents and ensure accurate test results.
Open the carrying case and locate the instruction booklet. Read through the instructions to familiarize yourself with the testing process and the various tests included in the kit.
Choose the test you would like to perform and gather the necessary reagents and testing equipment. Each test will require a specific combination of reagents and testing equipment, as outlined in the instruction booklet.
Collect a water sample from your pool or spa. To ensure accurate results, collect the sample from a depth of at least 18 inches below the water's surface and away from any return jets or skimmers. Use a clean, plastic container to collect the sample and ensure it's large enough to perform all necessary tests.
Follow the instructions for the specific test you are performing. This will typically involve adding a specified amount of reagent to the water sample, mixing the sample, and then comparing the color or appearance of the sample to a provided color chart or scale. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and precisely to ensure accurate results.
Record your test results and make any necessary adjustments to your pool or spa's water chemistry based on the results. Consult the instruction booklet for guidance on how to interpret the test results and make appropriate adjustments.
Repeat the testing process as needed to maintain proper water chemistry in your pool or spa. It's generally recommended to test your water at least once a week, or more frequently if the pool or spa is heavily used or experiencing water quality issues.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're experiencing difficulty interpreting the test results, double-check the instructions and ensure you're following the correct procedure for the specific test.
If the test results seem inconsistent or inaccurate, ensure that the reagents have not expired or become contaminated. Reagents should be replaced as needed to ensure accurate test results.
If you're still experiencing issues with the test kit, consider contacting Taylor Technologies customer support for further assistance.
