- Add one DPD 1 TesTab to the water sample in the left chamber. Do not touch the TesTab directly with your fingers.
- Cap the chamber and shake gently until the TesTab dissolves completely. A pink color will develop if free chlorine is present.
- Immediately compare the color in the chamber to the Free Chlorine (CI DPD) color standards on the comparator block. Read the result that most closely matches the sample farbe.

- Add one Phenol Red TesTab to the water sample in the right chamber. Do not touch the TesTab directly with your fingers.
- Cap the chamber and shake gently until the TesTab dissolves completely. A color will develop indicating the pH level.
- Immediately compare the color in the chamber to the pH color standards on the comparator block. Read the result that most closely matches the sample farbe.
Notiz: For accurate results, perform tests immediately after collecting the water sample and read results promptly after TesTab dissolution.
