FAQs for AquaChek TruTest™ Test Strip Reader
Q: What can I expect for the
precision of the test parameters?
A: The precision of the unit
can be reported as the following: FC, 0-1ppm range +/- 0.3ppm : 3-10ppm range
+/- 1ppm pH, entire range +/- 0.1pH TA, entire range +/-30ppm It can be noted
that as with any test, technique consistency will improve precision results.
Q: What is the dynamic test range for the TruTest?
FC, 0-15ppm pH, 6.1-8.8 TA, 0-300ppm It should be noted that the Er messages
will be displayed when testing pool samples outside of these calibrated test
ranges (reference in the manual).
Q: Can I compare the TruTest
results to other test methods?
A: The accuracy of the unit
should only be compared to visual test methods. This is because the unit is
capable of reporting numerical results between colorblocks and therefore the
unit can be considered to be more accurate than a visual colorimetric evaluation
(involving both human interpretation and interpolation). Digital readout in
place of color interpretation is TruTest’s main benefit resonating with many
pool/spa owners.
Q: How long will the batteries last? How long
will the unit last?
A: The AA batteries should last an entire
pool season’s worth of testing. The display window will flash “LO” if the
batteries are below a certain level of power needed to perform a test. The unit
has been developed for the consumer’s pool environment. With good cleaning and
storage habits, the meter should last longer than 3 years.
Q: Why
does the unit sometimes not appear to stay “ON”?
A: The “on”
button if depressed quickly on and off can cause conflicts with the software,
appearing to not “stay on (or off)”. Simply waiting a minute or so before
pressing the ON button should help clear the cycle.
Q: What does
"LO" in the TA location of the TruTest meter display mean?
A:
The meter displays "LO" in the TA location when the battery voltage drops below
the permissible limit. Start and Scroll functions are disabled and the meter
turns off automatically within 3-5 seconds. Even if the meter is turned ON
again, it would turn off after displaying "LO". If a low battery condition is
detected during the Test/Run cycle, instead of pool values the meter returns a
"LO" on display at the TA location and turns off.
Q: How should I
be cleaning my TruTest?
A: A simple, non-abrasive wiping of the
test strip window and all other surfaces with clean, fresh water should clear
any residual chemicals remaining from pool testing.
Q: What will
happen if the meter falls into the pool/spa?
A: The meter was
designed to withstand this kind of accidental submersion and should float upon
entry into the water. Simply remove the meter, take out the batteries from the
battery compartment, dry the battery compartment thoroughly and replace with dry
batteries. The meter should return to full performance.
Q: Should
I “place” or “slide” the test strip onto the test strip window?
A: It is very important that you do not slide the test strip on the window. This
action will result in inaccurate readings. A simple method is to place the first
pad nearest the top of the strip onto the window first, then lower the rest of
the strip down onto the window. This will ensure that the strip is all the way
in and down onto the window.
Error Messages
If ER appears in place of a numerical value – the test result is out of
range. The parameter is either too high or too low to be accurately analyzed.
Note the status level, LO or HI to determine how to treat your water. Re-test
after treatment.
If ER2 appears on the screen – there is an error in
reading the test strip. Ensrue that you are following the test procedure
correctly. Use only AquaChek TruTest instrumental test strips. No other test
strip can be used.
If ER3 appears on the screen – no strip is in place or
the test strip is positioned incorrectly. The correct position is with the test
pads face down in the slot with the top pad all the way to the top.
Test
Strip Use
The AquaChek TruTest test strips are calibrated to work only
with the AquaChek TruTest test strip reader. Each strip may only be used once.
Do not re-dip the strip. Only dip the strip in calm areas of your pool or spa.
Ensure you have a fresh supply – keep cap on tight between uses and store at
room temperature.
