It measures the pH level in your pool water or spa water, ensuring balance is maintained. If the pH drops below 7.0, it can cause corrosion of pipes and metal, highlighting the importance of regular testing.
Correct pH prevents corrosion, keeps chlorine working effectively, and ensures a safe, comfortable swim. A pH level below 7.4 is also optimal for chlorine disinfection, maximizing its effectiveness in maintaining clean water.
It works with most standard pool test kits, including Aussie Gold kits.
Collect a water sample, add a few drops of the phenol red solution, and compare the colour against the chart supplied with your test kit. Be aware that over 6 mg/L of chlorine can interfere with the phenol red pH test, potentially affecting the accuracy of your results.
Pool owners should test pool and spa water at least two to three times per week, or more during heavy use, to ensure the perfect balance. If chlorine interference is suspected, add one drop of 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate per 5 mL of sample to neutralize it before testing.
