LaMotte 2056 ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Pool Water Test Kit

The ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Photometer Pool
Water Test Kit is a very accurate and easy to use test kit for your pool water chemistry.

One of the best features is that it takes the guess work out of water testing. It uses a digital photometer to give you a precise readout of the test results. A photometer is an instrument for measuring the intensity of light, so the ColorQ will scan the reagent sample and that is how it gets the digital results.



This video details how the ColorQ Pro7 works and I also touch on some of the nice features of this particular test kit:


The ColorQ Pro 7 is a very versatile tester as it will check your pool or spa for all of the main test factors. So if you are a homeowner or a pool service professional it is the only test you will need. It comes with enough reagents for 144 test and 100 tablets for CYA testing. 
. 

The price range is higher than most testers mainly because of the ColorQ unit itself. Since it is a digital photometer there are some cost involved. But it comes with a one year warranty and has proven to be very durable and long lasting - some pool guys have the same unit after several years of continuous use. I like the ease of use with this kit. It is so simple anyone can use it to get accurate test results.

This video will detail how to use the ColorQ Pro 7 as I run it through all of the test factors:


I guess the main question then is how accurate is the ColorQ unit itself? After field testing it and comparing it with another digital tester you can see it is extremely accurate. I tested the Total Chlorine and the pH against the LaMotte Tracer and the results were excellent. Near the middle of the video here you will see me matching the results of the ColorQ against the Tracer. The Tracer Total Chlorine probe has a margin of error of +/- 10%,  so in the video you can see both readings from the ColorQ and Tracer match up well. The Tracer has a margin of error in the pH probe of +/- 0.1 pH. The results also matched up good in the test.


So the ColorQ Pro 7 has many great features. It is easy to use, accurate and reliable. If you absorb the higher price point then I would suggest purchasing one for sure.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
