A revolutionary, new in-store lab is here! Now let the innovative WaterLink® Spin photometer do all your pool and spa water testing for you. Just fill one unique Spin reagent disk with water and vital tests are done automatically.
Insta-LINK® Home Basic 2.0 App & Advanced Subsription
The Insta-LINK® Home Advanced internet-based subscription program in conjunction with the Home Basic 2.0 app allows iPhone or Android owners the ability to photo-scan Insta-TEST® pool and spa test strips, eliminating the need to visually determine slight color variations. The program also has a manual pool and spa testing entry option that allows any user of a smartphone, PC or internet connected device to enter results from any test kits or test strips.
In just seconds, the program analyzes the water testing result and returns safe, step by step pool or spa chemical treatment recommendations along with their local retailer’s chemical products. If the user needs chemicals or other items they can “order ahead” by emailing the results to their local Insta-LINK dealer. The program saves test results and plots trends from previous water tests on a graph.
A dealer can register to become an Insta-LINK Dealer which allows them to enter their pool and spa chemicals into the program. If a customer chooses an Insta-LINK Dealer than their products are recommended and links the dealer with the homeowner. This link gives the dealer the ability to communicate with their Insta-LINK customers by sending emails, sale specials or other information that will guide their customers in achieving perfect water balance with fewer hassles.
Another unique feature includes an equipment list of items used on the pool or spa such as motor, pump, filter, chlorine (salt) generator, alternative sanitizer (mineral system, ozonator, uv) and auto cleaner. The equipment log will be helpful for easy reference on the customer’s smartphone in case something breaks and parts are needed for the particular item.
The Insta-LINK program will mean users will be proactive with testing and better understand the complexities and importance of proper water balance. They will enjoy their balanced pool or spa far more. By using this program it will protect the pool or spa owner’s investment by enabling constant ideal water balance, timely maintenance of equipment and keeping complete records.
WaterLink® 3 Express Professional In-Store Lab (Code 3574-03)
The compact waterproof WaterLink® 3 Express colorimeter measures 15 different pool and spa tests using unit dose vials (UDVs) for the most important test factors such as Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Calcium Hardness, Alkalinity, Cyanuric Acid, Copper, Iron, Nitrate and Borate (see chart). This innovative colorimeter is easy-to-use with the foil-sealed UDV reagent system that has the precise amount of reagent needed to run the tests. LaMotte chemists developed Unit Dose Vials (UDVs) specifically for the in-store pool and spa analyst who desired similar precision to current water labs but without the time consuming procedures and range limitations on test strips.
SPEED This precise in-store lab is simple to use, just add the pool or spa water sample using the pre-calibrated 3 mL pipettor to the sealed vials which contain all the reagents needed for each test. The vials are inverted, placed in the colorimeter chamber and the results are ready in an instant. A complete set of tests can be completed in less than 4 minutes. Later in the season, if metals tests are omitted, testing times can be reduced to 2 minutes. When completed, the vials are thrown out and the next test is started. With all the necessary reagents in disposable vials, there’s no time wasted in test preparation or cleanup. Since there are no tubes to clean for future testing, overall time savings are doubled. The margin for error is also significantly reduced since the user no longer has to measure reagents and the simple-to use pre-calibrated pipettor saves time by adding the correct amount of water sample to the vials.
MORE TESTS This versatile new colorimeter allows analyst to measure other tests such as Biguanide, Biguanide Shock, Phosphate and Manganese using either liquid reagents or TesTabs® tablet reagents (see chart). The ability to run these test only improves the retailer’s expertise in resolving water quality issues and allows the user to measure all their tests on one complete in-store lab. Another bonus allows the English text on the meter to convert to Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.
Optional Software Program The WaterLink® 3 Express colorimeter digitally displays the test results and the user-friendly push-button system permits easy forward/reverse scrolling through the test series along with sending the test results into the DataMate 9.0 software program (sold separately). The test data is sent through the USB connection from the photometer into the PC loaded with the DataMate 9.0 software that analyzes the information and recommends products along with treatment instructions. See Information on DataMate 9.0 (Code 1768).
