LOVIBOND PooltesterLovibond is the flagship brand of Tintometer GmbH, Lovibond Water Testing, offering a range of equipment and analytical reagents for  analysis, including the pool water. Its latest, the new hand-held visual comparator Pooltester, proposes a new method based on the formation of copper ions.

In swimming pool water, the ideal measurement should lie between approximately 0.5 and 0.7 mg/l (in Germany, the limit for drinking water is 2.0 mg/l).

The new Pooltester has a low copper range with precision measurement of values from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l and also a range of 0.5 to 5.0 mg/l which is equivalent to that of the Lovibond® photometer.

In addition to providing information on the concentration of copper, it is also possible to measure pH between 6.8 and 8.2.
