    Excellent detailed demonstration review.

    Doesn't it go out of spec if you use your finger to cover the top as the oils from your skin would contaminant the samples?

      Not sure but I don't think it would be a big change.

    So what do you do to lower your ph? Can you still swim if it’s high like that since the water is clear? Thank you for the good demonstration!

      You can add dry acid or muriatic acid to lower the PH. Yes you can still swim with high PH. It will depend on your skin sensitivity, you may experience dry or itchy skin and red eye after swimming in unbalanced water.

    I dont get why you need to go 18 inches into the water and why you need to "create an air bubble". Doesnt the air bubble go away when you flick the container to get the water level to the line?

      Testing pool water 12-18 inches deep provides a more accurate representation of the pool’s overall water chemistry. The surface chemistry can vary significantly due to multiple factors such as sunlight and surface disturbances. The air bubble simply prevents water collection from the surface. Once you are elbow dip and collect the sample, the bubble goes away. The container flick simply helps you remove extra water slowly until you get to the level line. Hope this helps.

    I don't understand how you can tell what level it's at is there a certain shade of each color it's supposed to be or ?I'm so confused please help

      After you add the drops to your pool water, that whole chamber from top to bottom will be the same color. Then you compare your pool water color to the five other colors next to it and see which one is closest. It won’t be an exact reading like you get at the pool store, but it will get you close enough. Hope this helps.

      If chlorine is orange, it means it is too high. That usually happens when you shock the pool. I will not stay in the water with that color.

    • @diymanual
      @diymanual  Рік тому

      If your chlorine is darker than the top color this means your chlorine level is too high. Did you recently added a chlorine or shocked your pool?

    How is yours yellow and red? After adding the drops and shaking it, my water turns clear again. I'm so confused. 😭

    • @diymanual
      @diymanual  Рік тому +1

      Both colors just turn clear? If that is the case then your liquid reagent is most likely expired or it may have been exposed under the sun so you need to replace it.
      Try to get a cup of water from your faucet and put a small drop of chlorine in it and test the water and see if you get the same result.
