Product Details
The @ease® products with SmartChlor™ Technology do not test the same way as di-chlor, it is recommended to use only @ease® Test Strips that are user-tested for clarity and ease. (30 strips per bottle)
With @ease® Test Strips...
One color match designates an OUT indicator. When lighter than this color, replace the SmartChlor® Cartridge.
Since the free chlorine remains consistently at 0.5 - 1.0 ppm there is no need to test for it.
@ease® Test Strips also test for pH, Total Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness
If using any other test strip, keep in mind the following:
1) LIKE ALL OTHER HOT TUBS, WATER SHOULD BE BALANCED PROPERLY.
pH should be 7.2 to 7.8
Total Alkalinity should be 80 to 120
Calcium Hardness should be 150 to 250
2) TOTAL CHLORINE WILL ALWAYS BE HIGHER THAN FREE CHLORINE UNTIL THE CARTRIDGE IS EMPTY.
SmartChlor™ Technology has a chlorine reserve that reads as total chlorine
This reserve starts out higher than normal hot tub chlorine levels and slowly depletes over the 3-4 week life of the cartridge
3) THE FREE CHLORINE READING MAINTAINS AN EQUILIBRIUM STATE OF 0.5 TO 1.0 PPM.
As long as the water is balanced, an @ease® Mineral Cartridge is being used (not longer than 4 months) and the @ease® SmartChlor™ Cartridge is not empty, the free chlorine level will stay consistently within 0.5 - 1.0 ppm.
The reserve is continuously converting to free chlorine to meet the hot tub demand.
