Eco-Check Tips For Best Accuracy
Become familiar with the meter and the different tests by reading the instructions
carefully.
The Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine results are compliant for meeting USEPA
(4500-Cl G); ISO 7393/2; and German DIN 38408 G4-2 requirements.
Observe the dip time (
as required for the test
) for accurate results.

Be sure the

Rinse the
CELL
with clean water immediately after completing the test.
(Some test
reagents will stain or coat the CELL wall if allowed to remain).
Just before testing, rinse the sample
CELL
with the sample water several times to get a
representative sample. (
Use deionized or distilled water for rinsing if you have a limited
sample
).
Store the meter and all test materials out of direct sunlight and away from chemical
storage areas.
Minimize exposure of meter and test reagents to heat above 90°F (32°C).
Dry the outside of the meter when testing is complete or before storage of the meter.
Each eXact
®
Strip Micro test strip is valid for
ONLY
one test. Discard strip after single
use in regular trash that is inaccessible to children and pets.
Each bottle of eXact
®
Strip Micro contains the quantity of strips notated on the bottle.

normal strips in the bottle. These should be discarded. Using these strips may give
unreliable results.
The eXact
®
Eco-Check meter is not compatible for use with DPD-1, DPD-3, and DPD-4
powder pillows, tablets, and liquids available from other manufacturers. Accurate
results can only be guaranteed by using genuine eXact
®
Strip Micro strips or reagents
(reorder information on page 19).
Our lab testing with the Micro 20 meter has shown that zeroing and measuring of the
sample normally does not require any cell cover for accurate results, except in sunlight.
To obtain optimal accuracy when testing with the meter outdoors (sunlight), use the
Mixing Cap/Cell Cover when zeroing and reading the sample.
Remove batteries when meter is not used for more than a month (Warranty
Requirement).
If there is a question about the quality of a ReagentStrip
™
, your test method, or the photometer
you are using, then it is recommended to test the SYSTEM (reagent, you, and photometer) by
using the appropriate READY SNAP
™
solution.
Follow the procedure for the test you are running. If you get the acceptible result using the READY
SNAP
