Parameters, Test Accuracy & Water Balance Basics
These answers help walk-in shoppers confirm the TK400 meets their pool or spa testing needs.
What does the TK400 allow me to test?
The kit measures four key chemistry levels: pH, total alkalinity, chlorine or bromine, and acid demand. These are essential for maintaining safe, comfortable water.
How accurate are the color indicators on the test block?
The Lucite test cell uses clearly printed color scales that provide dependable readings when viewed in natural lighting. Shaking reagents gently before testing also improves accuracy.
