By testing the water before treating it, you can save up to 30% of the product you normally use.Test strips: quick and affordableThey are the simplest option: dip the strip for one second and compare the colour with the scale on the container.The Set of test strips 4 parameters measures free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity and cyanuric acid in a single dip. If you also want to monitor bromine and hardness, the 7-parameter test strip kit adds total chlorine, total hardness and total bromine to the list. And if you only need the basics, the Astralpool 3-in-1 test strips cover free chlorine, pH and alkalinity.Comparator kits: a little more precisionThe Pooltester kit chlorine pH analysis (high range) uses reagent tablets and a colorimetric system to measure chlorine (0.5-6.0 mg/l) and pH (6.8-8.2) much more accurately than a strip, although it takes a little more handling.Digital meters: no more judging colours by eyeThe Hanna Checker HI 701 free chlorine analyser is a pocket digital colorimeter: it measures free chlorine between 0.0 and 2.50 ppm objectively, so the result does not depend on how each person reads the colour.Photometers: the professional optionIf you want the highest level of detail, the Lovibond Scuba 3s photometer measures up to 10 parameters (free and total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, bromine, copper, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, phosphate and active oxygen), complies with the UNE-ISO 17381 standard and sends the results via NFC to the PoolAssistant app.And if you need the most complete equipment, the PoolLAB 2.0 photometer can measure up to 24 different parameters, with 3 measuring chambers that let you analyse several at once, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, and the LabCom app to save your history and receive dosing recommendations.Here is the full video: View on Instagram View on TikTok If you are not sure which product you need, write to us and we will help you choose the one best suited to your pool.

¿El agua de las piscinas saladas sabe a agua de mar?

Does saltwater pool water taste like seawater?

It is one of the most common questions about saltwater pools: does the water taste like the sea?The short answer: no, not even closeSeawater has a salt concentration of around 35 grams per litre. In a pool with a salt chlorinator, the recommended concentration is only 4 to 6 grams per litre, which is 6 to 9 times less salt than the sea. That amount is so low that it is similar to the salinity of a tear, so most swimmers do not notice it at all, neither in the taste nor on their skin.What does change compared to traditional chlorine is that there are no chemicals to handle or dose: the salt chlorinator automatically turns that small amount of salt into chlorine through electrolysis, and once the chlorine has done its disinfecting work, it turns back into salt, closing the cycle.Which salt chlorinator do you need?The Idegis Tecno Connect Scalable 21 g/h salt chlorinator is the most connected of the three: self-cleaning cell with a life of 8,000-10,000 hours, touch screen and remote control via Bluetooth and WiFi from the Fluidra Pool app, recommended for pools of 50 to 80 m³.The BSV EVo Basic 25 g/h salt chlorinator is a simpler and more affordable option: self-cleaning cell with up to 10,000 hours of life, digital display and automatic shutdown in case of no flow, overload or overheating, with IP65 protection.And the Astralpool E-Next 21 g/h salt chlorinator stands out for its compact design: self-cleaning cell, gas detector that stops chlorination if there is no flow, and a moisture-resistant housing (IP45), ideal for small plant rooms.Here is the full video: View on Instagram
