Rainbow Pentair Pro 11 Test kit

PERFORM 11 ACCURATE TESTS

DIRECTIONS: Never let reagents remain in test vial. Clean and rinse after each test. Hold bottles vertically for proper drop size. Take water samples from a depth of 18″ (away from return lines). Always place cap o test cell before mixing. Test tablets should be white. Do not touch tablets. False reading may result. More detailed information in booklet.

DPD #1 FREE CHLORINE TEST*

(Ideal range 1.0 – 1.5 ppm)

1. Fill CL test cell to line with water.
2. Add one #1 DPD tablet.
3. Place cap on cell and invert vial several times to dissolve (15 to 35 seconds).
4. Compare color in cell to CL color standards.
5. Note the reading and save sample for Total and Combined test.

DPD #3 TOTAL AND COMBINED CHLORINE TEST

1. Add one #3 DPD tablet to above test.
2. Place cap on cell and invert vial several times.
3. If color darkens, chloramines are present. Compare color in cell to CL color standards.
4. Subtract ppm of Free chlorine from ppm of Total chlorine to obtain ppm of Combined chlorine.
5. A difference of more than 0.2 ppm may indicate a need for superchlorination.

CHLORINE – BROMINE – IODINE CONVERSION CHART

BROMINE: Levels are obtained by multiplying the reading indicated on the Chlorine scale times 2.25.
IODINE: Levels are obtained by multiplying the reading indicated on the Chlorine scale times 3.57
NOTE: If your Chlorine reading is above 3.0 or Bromine is above 6.0 you may obtain false pH Test reading. Lower Chlorine or Bromine first before testing for pH and Total Alkalinity.

pH TEST (Ideal pH 7.4 • 7.6 ppm)

1. Fill large vial to solid line.
2. Add 1 drop solution #4 (2 drops if chlorine test is above 1.5 ppm or Bromine above 3.5 ppm) and mix by swirling.
3. Add 5 drops solution #2 and mix by swirling and compare test to pH color standards,
4. If reading is above 7.2, perform Alkali Demand and Test #38 using this same water sample. If reading is above 7.8 perform Acid Demand test #3 using this same water sample. Test and adjust total alkalinity (if needed) before adjusting pH.

ACID DEMAND TEST (If pH is above 7.8)

1. Add solution #3 one drop at a time, counting drops, swirling between drops, until color matches 7.6 to pH color standards.
2. Refer to Acid Demand Chart for proper amount of  acid to be added to pool or spa.

ALKALI DEMAND TEST (If pH is below 7.2)

1. Add solution #3B one drop at a time, counting drops,  inverting between drops, until color matches 7.6 to pH color standards.
2. Refer to Alkali Demand Chart for proper amount of soda ash or sodium bicarbonate to be added to pool or spa.

TOTAL ALKALINITY

1. Fill large test vial to lower broken line.
2. Add 1 drop solution #4 (2 drops if Chlorine test was above 1.5 ppml and mix thoroughly by inverting.
3. Add 1 drop solution #5.
4. Add solution #3 one drop at a time (inverting between drops! and counting the number of drops necessary to change color to clear or light yellow.
5. Multiply drops of solution #3 used by 10.  See test booklet for additional information.

WATER HARDNESS !Rinse test viall

1. Fill large cell to lower broken line with water sample.
2. Add 2 drops of solution #6 to water sample and invert  to mix.
3. Add solution #7 one drop at a time, inverting test vial  between drops to mix. Count the number of drops it  takes the red color to “just change to pure blue color·.
4. Each drop of solution #7 equals 50 ppm. Refer to booklet for additional information.

CYANURIC ACID TURBIDITY TEST

1. Using your test cell, insert the calibrated test stick into bottom of large chamber and hold down.
2. Fill large chamber with pool water to line “A” on test stic
3. Without touching the contents of the foil package with your hands or fingers, add one cyan uric tablet to large chamber. Touching the tablet might result in a false  reading. The tablet should be white in color.
4. Crush tablet with test stick then mix by moving test  stick up and down 15 to 20 times, leaving test stick at bottom of chamber.
5. Allow the solution to set for about 2 minutes lno longer  than 5 minutes! before continuing test.
6. Read out is made by looking down through the solution from top of test chamber to observe black dot. If black dot cannot be seen, raise test stick above water level and then tower carefully until black dot just disappears. Read through the dear chamber while holding the test cell in a straight vertical position. The number on the tes stick closest to the water level will be your reading in par per million of Cyanuric Acid to a million parts of water in your pool.
   If the black dot does not disappear before reaching the  bottom of the test chamber, your pool contains less than  20 parts per million of Cyanuric Acid and action would  normally be taken. Remember to adhere to the  manufacturer”s recommendation of Cyanuric Acid being use or contact your local pool and spa dealer.
