Professional grade quality
As a pool technician, I recommend this to all my residential clients. It's accurate, affordable, and the DPD method is the industry standard for a reason.

Great value for money
I was spending too much on test strips that gave vague results. This tablet kit gives precise numbers and lasts much longer. Highly recommended for new pool owners.

Essential for pool maintenance
This kit is incredibly easy to use. The color matching is clear, and the tablets dissolve quickly. I've been using Palintest for years and trust their accuracy for keeping my family safe.

Good kit, instructions could be clearer
The testing process works well once you get the hang of it. The printed instructions were a little small to read, but I found a video online that helped. Results seem very accurate.

Reliable but case could be sturdier
The test results are consistent with what my local pool store gives me. My only minor complaint is that the plastic case feels a bit flimsy, but the contents are well protected inside.

Peace of mind for summer swimming
Knowing exactly where my chlorine and pH levels stand makes swimming so much more enjoyable. No more guessing or red eyes. This kit pays for itself in avoided chemical errors.
Q: What should I do if the tablets have turned brown?
A: If the tablets have discolored to brown or crumble easily, they may have been exposed to moisture or heat and compromised. Please discard them and use fresh tablets for accurate results.
Q: Can these tablets be used for hot tubs as well?
A: Yes, this DPD test kit is suitable for both swimming pools and hot tubs/spas, provided the water temperature is within normal operating ranges before sampling.
Q: How often should I test my pool water?
A: For optimal water quality, we recommend testing free chlorine and pH levels at least twice a week during heavy usage periods, and once a week during lighter usage.
Q: How do I clean the comparator after use?
A: Rinse the comparator thoroughly with clean tap water immediately after each test. Do not use soap or detergents as residues can affect future test results. Let it air dry before storing.
Q: Does this kit test for alkalinity?
A: No, this specific model tests for Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, and pH only. We offer separate kits or add-on tablets for testing Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness.
