Know before you buy
This kit uses a simple drop-count method where each drop added to your sample represents 10 ppm of calcium hardness. You simply count the drops until the color changes, then multiply by 10 to get your final reading.
Yes, this kit is designed to be safe and effective for both pools and spas. It works equally well for above-ground and in-ground pool setups.
Low calcium levels can lead to corrosive water that damages pool surfaces and equipment, while high levels often cause scaling and cloudy water. Regular testing helps you maintain the ideal balance to protect your investment.
Yes, the kit is a complete, ready-to-use set. It includes all the necessary liquid reagents and testing equipment required to perform your first test right out of the box.
While other chemical levels like chlorine fluctuate daily, calcium hardness is more stable. Testing once a month is generally sufficient for most pool and spa owners to ensure levels remain within the recommended range.
