OVERVIEW

The Mobile WaterLink® Spin Bluetooth® photometer measures 12 important
pool and spa test factors such as Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine,
Total Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness, Copper, Iron, Cyanuric Acid, Borate,
Biguanide, and Biguanide Shock.

Pool or spa water is added to a unique WaterLink® Spin reagent disk designed
specifi cally for the service professional. Each sealed reagent disk contains the
precise amount of reagents needed to run a complete series of tests. The disk
is placed in the WaterLink
tests are completed.

The Mobile WaterLink
photometer communicates the
results wirelessly via Bluetooth®
to the service professional’s
smartphone or tablet device.
The service professional does
not have to view color reactions
using color comparators, waste
time mixing liquid reagents,
and save time with increased
accuracy.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

 METER

When a fi lled disk is placed in the chamber and the lid is closed, the meter
spins at high speed to distribute the sample to all 11 wells and to ensure that
the water empties from the center chamber. Next the meter slows to maximize
the pumping action of the stainless steel mixing beads as the reagents mix
with the sample water. Each reaction is then read at the proper time and
wavelength for that reagent system.

The Blue indicator light indicates the status of the instrument. It is located
below the thumb hole on the meter housing.

Steady blue light – after an initial blinking sequence the blue LED will remain
steady to indicate that the meter is connected to the power source and is
ready to run a test.

Blinking blue light (three blinks/second) – a test is in progress and the
disk is spinning. Do not open the lid when the disk is spinning.

Blinking blue light (one blink/second) – low battery

Care should be taken when closing the lid. Do not slam the lid. Wiring
between the lid and the body of the photometer passes through the hinge. The
meter will not run with the lid open.

 SYRINGE

A plastic 3 mL syringe (Code 1189) is used to fi ll the disks. A precision tip
on the syringe fi ts into the fi ll hole on the disk. The syringe tip should not
be removed from the syringe. Syringes should be cleaned between water
samples. Pump air in and out of the syringe a few times to clear the previous
sample or rinse the syringe with a small amount of the next water sample
before fi lling it for testing.

 DISKS

The WaterLink Spin uses a disk reagent system. The dried reagents are
packaged in single test amounts in a sealed, polystyrene disk. Stainless steel
mixing beads in the reaction chambers mix the sample water and the dried
reagents.

Chlorine/Bromine and Biguanide Disks

There are two disk series – Chlorine/Bromine and Biguanide. Each disk
includes a set of reagents for the series. Tests for all factors in the series are
performed at one time. It is not possible to isolate the well for a single factor
and perform a test for one test factor only.
