Professional Testing Guidelines
Test total chlorine levels daily, especially during periods of heavy use. When used in conjunction with free chlorine testing, these strips help determine combined chlorine levels and the need for shock treatment. Ideal total chlorine levels should be maintained between 1-3 ppm for pools and 3-5 ppm for spas
