Copper Test Strips
These are the best tool for testing low levels of copper in swimming pools and hot tubs. It is important to keep the copper level in the ‘OK’ range to make sure that the minerals are sanitizing effectively without causing a buildup or using up the mineral source too quickly.
Your mineral system may add additional minerals to the water beside copper, however, copper is the easiest to test for. If the copper level is correct, the other mineral levels are also correct.
Instructions
- Take the transparent colorimetric tube out of the bottle
- Add the water sample from the pool or hot tub until it reaches the gradation line on the tube

- Immerse the test pad of the strip into the bottom of the tube, dip it up and down 10 times, then take the strip out of the tube
