two to three drops in the tube.

with sample to the 10ml mark. Mix to dissolve
tablet fully and ensure no particles remain.
3 Take photometer reading immediately.
Result may drift on standing.
Note: The ozone test also responds to chlorine
and bromine. Pools using ‘ozone with chlorine’
treatment systems, or other combined treatments
will produce a result at this stage representing the
ozone plus other treatment chemicals.To determine
ozone specifically requires an additional protocol
as follows:
Correction for Chlorine or Bromine
1 Fill a test cuvette with sample to the 10ml
mark. Add one DPD Glycine tablet, crush
and mix to dissolve.
2 Take a second clean test tube and add two to
three drops of solution from the first tube.Add
one DPD 4 tablet, crush and then make up to
the 10ml mark with the solution from Step 1.
Mix to dissolve tablet fully.
3 Take Photometer reading immediately. The
DPD Glycine complexes ozone in the sample
and the result displayed equates to chlorine
or bromine present in the sample only.
4 Subtract the result obtained in Step 3 from
the initial result to determine the ozone
concentration specifically.
Test 5 Copper-Total/5
Range: 0-5.00mg/l (ppm) Cu

thoroughly remixed before measurement.
