Use coloring chart provided with the package, or the chart below to check for chlorine levels in water:
If you find that your level of chlorine is 4.0 ppm (parts per million) or above, please dilute water sample (mix half tap water and half distilled water) and repeat a test, until you get a number in the range between 0.1 and 2.5. Then multiply your number by the number of times you had to dilute water.
This test will show Free Chlorine only. Some municipalities and counties use other chemicals for disinfection. Other commonly used checmical is chloramine, which is also called "combined chlorine", a chlorine that is combined with another chemical. Free Chlorine test will not show levels of combined chlorine (chloramines) in water. We have a test available for Free and Total Chlorine, which will test for both Free Chlorine and Chloramines.
