*NOTES –
A. These Test Kits are made exclusively for Intec. Other tests are shown on the chart but
those tests are not necessary to maintain an ionized pool.
B. Anytime you draw a water sample from the pool for testing, make sure you get that
sample 12 inches below the pool surface.
C. If ever you have a problem, you may call Intec at 800-896-1759 for assistance. Please
test your pool water for the aforementioned parameters before calling Intec. These
tests results are needed to diagnose and help you solve your problem. Without them,
we will not be able to accurately assist you.
