Specialty Test Kits
Our Specialty Kits typically focus on measuring one type of chemical and are useful when you only need to test one special factor like hydrogen peroxide or phosphates.
Color-Matching Kits
Our specialty color-matching test kits and drop-count titrations give straightforward answers. They are available with 3/4 or 2 ounce reagents.
Ideal Alkalinity Levels
Alkalinity levels should be between 80 and 120 parts per million (ppm). Low levels can swing your pH levels back and forth.
