Pool Cooper Test Strips Insta Test

Analyze copper pool water 

Bright blue water that can also stain green hair, lilac seals or yellow swimsuits is an indication of excessive copper in the water. This excess may be due to corrosion or excessive use of algaecides containing copper sulfate. 

It is important to act as soon as possible to avoid that stains appear in the pool and that it is more difficult for them to disappear.

To analyze if there is an excess of copper in the water of the swimming pool we have the analytical strips of Lamotte Insta Test. 

Components Insta Test test strips

• 25 test strips
• Standard color chart canister
• Scale of: 0,0.3,0.6,1,3 ppm 

Directions for use

1. Immerse the test strip in the water sample to be tested and remove it after 2 seconds. 
2. Remove the test strip from the sample and hold it with the test pad facing upwards. Do not shake once to remove excess water.
3. Wait 30 seconds and compare with the color scale printed on the bottle (result expressed in ppm copper). 
4. Discard the strip if more than 30 seconds have elapsed. 

Storage tips

• Keep the tube tightly closed to prevent moisture from entering. 
• Avoid handling the strips with wet or damp hands. 
• Store in a cool, dry place. 
• Use before the expiration date printed on the bottle.

Eliminate the copper of the swimming pool 

Once the analysis has been carried out with the analytical strips, check the value obtained in the bottle. If the level obtained is higher than 0.6 ppm of copper we will have to apply copper sequestrant.

We will apply the product Copper Out which is a specific copper sequestrant and is stable to chlorine so its effect is long lasting.
