Understanding Combined Chlorine
Combined chlorine testing is essential for:
- Detecting chloramine formation
- Preventing eye and skin irritation
- Eliminating unpleasant chlorine odors
- Maintaining proper sanitization levels
- Optimizing shock treatment timing
How to Use
- Extract one strip from the bottle
- Dip into water sample for 2 seconds
- Hold level for 15 seconds
- Compare with color chart
- Calculate combined chlorine (Total chlorine minus Free chlorine)

Professional Testing Guidelines
Combined chlorine levels should ideally remain below 0.2 ppm. Regular testing helps determine when shock treatment is necessary, typically when combined chlorine levels exceed 0.5 ppm. For accurate results, test both free and total chlorine levels to calculate the combined chlorine concentration
