The LaMotte Insta-TestŪ Borate is a
popular choice for measuring Borate in a snap.
Borate is used in combination with sanitizers
(chlorine, bromine and biguanide) to kill bacteria and inhibit algae
development. Some studies suggest that borate, combined with reduced levels
of chlorine, maintains the pool water in better condition than chlorine
alone. The combination of chlorine and borate may actually reduce chlorine
consumption. In addition to suppressing algae growth, borate reduces eye and
skin irritatation, and it can also improve water clarity.
The best part about borate is that it will not evaporate, and it will not
degrade when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Therefore, once you
adjust the borate level to its ideal range (about 50 ppm), it will remain at
that level until you drain and refill the water.
Pool and spa owners are always looking for something quick and easy. It's an
unbeatable test system: no caps to worry about and even greater moisture
protection. LaMotte guarantee the
Borate strip measures the Borate levels from 0 to 80
ppm in 15 seconds. The Borate strips are packaged 25 strips per bottle.
- Pop-Top caps are easy to open and shut
- The patented vial protects strips from moisture
intrusion
