OVERVIEW

The WaterLink® Spin photometer measures 12 important pool and spa
important test factors such as Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, Total
Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness, Copper, Iron, Cyanuric Acid, Borate,
Biguanide, and Biguanide Shock. This innovative photometer is easy-to-use
with a disk reagent system that holds the precise amount of reagents needed
to run the tests. LaMotte chemists developed reagent disks specifi cally for the
in-store pool and spa analyst who desired similar precision to current water
labs but without the time consuming procedures or testing limitations of test
strips.

This in-store lab is simple to use; just add the pool or spa water sample using
the precision syringe to the disks which contain all the reagents needed for
each test series. The disks are placed in the photometer chamber and the
results are ready in an instant. A complete series of tests can be completed
in one minute. When completed, the disk is discarded and the next test is
started.

With all the necessary reagents in disposable disks, no time is wasted in test
preparation or cleanup. Since there are no tubes to clean for future testing,
overall time savings are doubled. User error is signifi cantly reduced since the
user no longer has to measure reagents.

The DataMate 10 software will analyze the data and recommend products
along with treatment instructions. Included in the DataMate 10 Software is the
WaterLink

®

Spin Application that operates the WaterLink® Spin photometer.
