General information

Always use tablets marked "PHOTOMETER", never those marked "RAPID". Do not touch the
tablets.
After each measurement, make sure that the cuvette is cleaned from all reagent residues,
otherwise measuring errors will occur.
Only use clear water and a microfibre cloth to clean the cuvette.
Do not use any cleaning agents or (scrubbing) brushes.
After using the PHMB reagent, be sure to follow the instructions in section 10.12 PHMB
as otherwise, discolouration of the cuvette may occur, which will falsify later
measurement results.
The photometers of the PCE-CP series are also suitable for salt water pools / pools with salt
electrolysis.
