Test 2
TOTAL CHLORINE
Option 2: Range 0 - 10.0 mg/l (ppm)

1 Carry out this test on the solution remaining from the Free Chlorine test.
2 If any shock treatment chemicals have been added to the pool, add one DPD
Oxystop tablet, crush and mix to dissolve. This will prevent a response caused
by the shock treatment chemicals.
3 Add one DPD-XT tablet, crush and mix to dissolve.
4 Stand for two minutes.
5 Take photometer reading. Ensure display shows the Chlorine-Total/10 test is
selected.
To obtain COMBINED CHLORINE residual subtract Free Chlorine result from Total
Chlorine result :-
ie Combined Chlorine = Total Chlorine - Free Chlorine
Note: To assess the level of shock dose chemicals in the pool, request supplementary
instructions Phot 7.2.AUTO.
