Know before you buy
These tablets are specifically formulated to measure free chlorine levels. They are the standard reagent used to ensure your pool's primary sanitizer is at the correct concentration for safe swimming.
Each strip contains 10 tablets sealed in individual foil compartments. To use, you simply press the tablet through the foil backing directly into your testing vial, which keeps your hands clean and prevents the tablets from being exposed to moisture.
These tablets are designed for use with LaMotte test kits and other colorimetric comparators that utilize DPD #1 chemistry. They are intended for systems that specifically call for DPD #1 RAPID reagent tablets.
RAPID tablets are designed to dissolve quickly in your water sample compared to standard tablets. This speeds up your testing process, allowing you to get an accurate color reading without waiting for a slow-dissolving tablet.
Keep the blister strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Because the tablets are individually sealed in foil, they are well-protected, but maintaining a stable storage environment will maximize their shelf life.
