Blue Horizons Aquablanc & Active Oxygen Test Strips (50 Strips)

Description

Pure Water Testing for Chlorine-Free Systems Active oxygen systems offer a gentle, odour-free alternative to traditional chlorine and bromine sanitisers. Blue Horizons Aquablanc & Active Oxygen Test Strips are designed specifically to provide precise, instantaneous readings for oxygen-based water care regimes, ensuring your hot tub or pool remains hygienic, balanced, and soft on sensitive skin.

Triple-Parameter Testing Precision Maintaining water harmony requires monitoring more than just sanitiser levels. Each test strip features distinct, chemical-reactive pads that simultaneously measure active oxygen concentration, pH levels, and total alkalinity. By capturing all three critical parameters in a single dip, you can adjust chemical dosing with confidence and keep equipment safe from scale or corrosion.

Fast and Reliable Visual Analysis Designed for convenience, these strips eliminate guesswork. Simply dip a strip into your pool or spa water, wait fifteen seconds, and compare the pads against the high-contrast colour chart printed directly on the vial. Fast, repeatable results make routine water testing an effortless part of your daily care routine.

Key Technical Specifications

• Pack Size: 50 test strips per bottle

• Tested Parameters: Active Oxygen (MPS/O2), pH, Total Alkalinity (TA)

• System Compatibility: Aquablanc non-chlorine active oxygen systems, monopersulfate spa care

• Result Time: 15 seconds

• Container Type: Desiccant-lined moisture-resistant vial with secure snap cap

Operating Instructions

1. Sample Extraction: Dip one test strip into the pool or hot tub water at a depth of roughly 20cm, holding it steady for two seconds.

2. Remove and Hold: Remove the strip face-up without shaking off excess water droplets.

3. Wait for Reaction: Hold the test strip level for 15 seconds to allow the indicator pads to react completely.

4. Compare Colours: Match the test pads against the colorimetric colour chart printed on the bottle bottle label. Read the active oxygen pad first, followed by pH and total alkalinity.

5. Secure Storage: Reseal the snap top vial immediately after removing a strip to protect the remaining inventory from ambient room humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these strips be used for chlorine or bromine sanitized pools? No. These strips are calibrated specifically for non-chlorine active oxygen and monopersulfate systems. Chlorine and bromine require dedicated 3-way or 6-way test strips for accurate readings.

How often should I test active oxygen levels in my hot tub? Test active oxygen levels before every use and at least two to three times per week. Active oxygen dissipates faster than chlorine, so maintaining regular testing ensures adequate sanitisation.

What are the ideal parameter ranges for Aquablanc active oxygen systems? Target an active oxygen level between 5 ppm and 10 ppm one to two hours after dosing, a pH between 7.2 and 7.6, and a total alkalinity between 80 ppm and 120 ppm.

How should I store these test strips to keep them fresh? Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is snapped tight immediately after removing a strip to prevent moisture ingress.
