Common Questions & Instructions
How does the Pool eXact EZ photometer compare to liquid reagent drop kits?
Drop kits rely on human eyes to distinguish slight color gradations under fluctuating ambient light. The Pool eXact EZ (#486201-K) shines a calibrated light source through the sample to digitally measure light transmission, reporting exact parts-per-million values to eliminate guesswork.
What parameters does the SENSAFE Pool eXact EZ Kit test?
The photometer measures Total Chlorine, Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and Cyanuric Acid using parameter-specific eXact Micro reagent strips.
How do I maintain and clean the built-in testing cell?
Rinse the cell with clean tap water after every test and wipe the optical chamber with the included cell cleaning brush and a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive detergents or scratchy materials that could scuff the optical plastic.
