• Collect a water sample in the comparator block then add 5 drops of each reagent solution.
• Gently invert to mix—do not shake and compare the color to the chart provided.
• You’ll get accurate readings for total chlorine, total bromine, and pH levels in seconds.

• Swimming pools: Test at least twice a week, especially during peak season.
• Hot tubs/spas: Test 2-3 times per week, as high temperatures can impact water chemistry faster.

This kit measures three key water quality parameters:

• Total Chlorine – Helps ensure water is properly sanitized to prevent bacteria, algae, and cloudiness.
• Total Bromine – Especially important in spas and hot tubs for maintaining safe, clear water.
• pH – Critical for swimmer comfort, chemical balance, and preventing scale or corrosion.

Maintain sanitizer levels within the range recommended by your pool chemical manufacturer or local code. Common targets are:

• pH (pools & spas): 7.4 – 7.6
• Chlorine (pools): 1 – 3 ppm
• Bromine (spas): 3 – 5 ppm

Note: Ranges may vary depending on product, region, or system type. Always follow the guidance provided with your sanitizer.

• Balanced water chemistry protects swimmers, prevents skin & eye irritation, and extends the life of your pool or spa equipment.
• Routine testing saves you money on chemicals and reduces the risk of cloudy water, scaling, and algae buildup.

Yes! The Clarus 3-in-1 Liquid Test Kit is compatible with both freshwater and saltwater systems in pools, hot tubs, and spas.

To maintain accuracy:

• Store reagents in the provided heavy-duty case.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• Tightly close reagent bottles after each use to prevent contamination.

• Each kit includes enough reagent solution for up to 100 tests, making it a long-lasting, cost-effective option for routine water testing throughout the season.
• For best accuracy, replace the reagent solutions every year or at the start of each pool season, even if there are tests remaining. Over time, reagents can lose effectiveness.

• Make sure you’re collecting the water sample from at least 18" below the surface, away from return jets or skimmers.
• Always rinse the comparator block before and after each use to avoid residue buildup.
• Gently invert the test block to mix—do not shake, as it may cause inaccurate color results.
• Compare colors immediately after mixing. Waiting too long may cause the colors to fade or change.

• High levels of cyanuric acid (stabilizer) can bind to chlorine, reducing its effectiveness.
• Organic contaminants in the water may be consuming chlorine—try shocking the pool or spa to restore balance.
• Poor circulation or filtration can lead to uneven chemical distribution. Ensure your pump and filter are working properly.
• Test at multiple spots in the pool to confirm even sanitizer levels.

• Test Strips: Super quick and convenient—dip, wait a few seconds, compare. Great for daily spot‑checks and quick peace of mind.
• Liquid (Drop) Kits: A few extra steps (add drops, mix, color‑match), but typically deliver tighter, more reliable readings especially for pH and total chlorine/bromine when you’re dialing in balance.

Use strips for fast, frequent checks (daily or before a swim/soak). Use the liquid kit for weekly balancing, troubleshooting, or when readings look off and you want higher accuracy. Many pool & spa owners keep both on hand: strips for speed, liquid for precision.
