Once you have waited 15 seconds then you can hold the test stripe up to the colour chart shown on your bottle.
Note: Don’t wipe, shake or touch the test strips.
Most levels of test results are measured in PPM (Parts Per Million)
- Total Hardness: This will measure the total level of calcium in your water this level affects your hot tub equipment and surfaces over time. Total hardness should be between 75-150 PPM.
- Total Chlorine/Bromine: This level should be between 1-3.

- PH: This level should be between 7.2-7.8 with 7.5 being ideal.
