Palintest provides an extensive array of options for testing pool water. In order to decide which testing system best suits your needs you first need to keep in mind the following:
Are you testing pool water for residential, home, or commercial use?
Are you testing single or multiple parameters?
How accurate do you need the results to be?
Below is an overview of where each type of test system best fits:
Professional Use
Residential or Home Use
Visual Testing
Photometer testing
Regular
Occasional

Test Strips - Available in 3-way and 6-way formats to support all residential pool and hot tub users. Palintest test strips are the simplest method for testing your water.
Residential or Home Use
Simple kits using visual colour based comparison with a chart are easy to use for home use they provide an indication of the ranges but can be prone to subjectivity on the part of the users. These tests can be used to determine the level of key parameters in pool water as well as of key factors such as disinfectants that are ideal for this use. The Pooltester kits are a popular choice for ease of use. If further accuracy is required the Lumiso Pooltest 3 photometer would be an option, it does not rely on visual colour determinate and therefore are less subjective.
Commercial Use
Comparators
For commercial use, there are a number of comparators available these are more advanced visual colour based systems with a wheel of colour which in turned to compare with the colour in the tube after the reaction. These are also prone to subjective assessment.
Photometers
