Hello. In addition to showing chlorine levels, does this kit test chloramine levels?

I don't believe so.... I have a well, not city water, so wasn't really looking for chlorine...

The kit contains ONE strip per test. So if you want to test 12 water sources you could pool them. A better plan might be to buy two kits and test a pool of 6 water sources for each. That way if one set is positive, you only need to buy 6 more, for a total of 8 kits, rather than 12.

The test will just tell you if there is any in the water or none, that's pretty much it. If you need a clear answer you need to have the tested by a local lab. Some pool stores actually test well water for you if you ask them and their results are a little more accruate than this testing but of course not as detailled as what you would get from a lab.

I don't know. I will say this: I thought it worked great in my regular tub and someone recently told me to get chlorine test strips from a pool supply place - said she tested this and it did nothing. I've been using mine, thinking it removed the chlorine, etc. and now I want to test it! If it does work, great. If not, I'm going to be quite upset that I soaked extra long in the tub so often, believing I was not soaking up toxic chlorine!!!!!

Looks like it doesn't... MSDS says Acetone, Solvent Naphtha, Light Aliphatic, Propane, Xylene, Ethyl benzene, Toluene, Benzene. No saying that one of those chemicals won't have Chlorine in it...

I based my selection of this filter on the lab report linked here "http://crystalquest.com/Water%20test%20Multi-Stage.pdf" I am not a chemist and have not tested the water since attaching this filter to our ice maker. Understand that the report does not indicate from what model number the water was tested and that this test is from the Crystal Quest website. To be more specific as to answering your question---if chlorine is chloride "http://www.nutriology.com/chloride.php" then, yes, it is filtered out but not 100%. As for chloramine "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramine"---the report lists different Dichlora*, Chlora* and Trichlora* compounds that are filtered out. On a personal level, the ice looks better and tastes better. I also noticed the cubes completely freeze now whereas, before the filter, the ice was not. I have not adjusted the freezer tempurature or ice timing.

I'm no expert but I thing when you set it to run a certain amount of time it gives you a code ( on the screen) that tells you if the chlorine level is adequate. The manual says more about that and also gives a table of estimated average time needed to run -- I think. Also keep in mind that what's enough today might not be enough tomorrow due to weather, use, etc. Still have to check with strips regularly.

No, it should be calibrated. Make sure you have it set to read salinity. The pool water should read around 0.3 percent, or 3 ppt or 3000 ppm. My chlorinator also reads the amount of salt and it agrees well with this instrument.

You usually first can tell by noticing that chlorine levels are low when you test the water indicating the cell is not producing at a high level. The other visual test is the appearance of algae. Finally you look at the generator unit and run through the diagnostics, make a note of each number as you scroll through the screens, then look on line for what they should be for your particular unit. If it's not working anymore several of the numbers will be very low or way off what they should be. If that's the case it means the cell has run its course and a new one should be purchased. Easy to install a new one however. You usually first can tell by noticing that chlorine levels are low when you test the water indicating the cell is not producing at a high level.

No, it is just to check purity or cleanliness level. It doesn't tell anything else.

Yes. Any water. Strips are not as accurate as master test kits but are good enough to see if you have a problem. Much easier

Yes! Absolutely! I tested before and after. It completely neutralizes chlorine for approximately one month. I test periodically and replace when chlorine shows at all on the color test.

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

No. If flow light is green, the switch is good. Test water with a salt meter or take a sample to a pool store and have it tested. Also be sure the chlorinator is clean, no calcium build up. Remember to never unplug or plug-in chlorinator when powered up. How old is your chlorinator? Salt level needs to be at least 3500 ppm.

Not that I'm aware. Chlorine, acidity, ph... the usual suspects. Easy to use (not as easy as the strips I bought afterwards).

yes but I do not recommend it at all...It alleges that you can lower your chlorine and sanitize using this...I see no overall benefit from lowest chlorine levels as it causes other issues with algae...

You do not use chlorine, just the RENU2 and the bromine. It will help keep the chemicals at a normal level, providing you test the water and watch how much you add.
