WaterLink® Spin Touch®: How We Test Your Water
At My Pool Shop Melbourne, we use the WaterLink® Spin Touch® photometer to test your pool and spa water. The WaterLink® Spin Touch® is one of the most advanced systems available, making water testing quick, simple, and stress-free. It gives us a clear picture of your pool or spa’s condition in just a few minutes, so we can see all the key water parameters at a glance. This allows us to recommend exactly what your water needs to stay healthy, balanced, and sparkling, ensuring your pool or spa is always ready to enjoy.
Why Our Testing System Beats Traditional Methods
Traditional pool testing can involve test strips, drop counts, tablets, and a bit of guesswork. The WaterLink® Spin Touch® takes all that out of the equation. Using a sealed SpinDisk® reagent cartridge, this system automatically analyses your water sample in as little as 60 seconds.
Each SpinDisk® contains pre-measured amounts of reagents (the chemical used for testing), so there’s no mixing, timing, or manual interpretation. All we need is a small water sample and the system does the rest.
- NOTE: Each Spin Touch® disk costs our business roughly $4 per test plus the cost of staff and computer equipment. While we cover that cost, choosing to buy your pool and spa products from us lets us keep offering this professional testing service at no cost to you.
Speed, Accuracy & Consistency
The WaterLink® Spin Touch® measures a complete range of important parameters including
- free and total chlorine
- combined chlorine
- bromine
- pH
- alkalinity
- calcium hardness
- magnesium hardness
- stabiliser (cyanuric acid)
- phosphates
- copper
- salt
All of these key measurements are processed instantly and displayed digitally, making it quick and easy to see your pool’s condition while eliminating the potential for human error or guesswork that can happen with manual testing.
Why It Matters for Your Pool or Spa
Reliable water testing is the foundation of great pool care. When your water chemistry is balanced, your sanitiser works more effectively, your equipment lasts longer, and your water looks clearer and feels more comfortable. Balanced water is easier on swimmers too! It looks clearer, feels more comfortable, and reduces skin and eye irritation. With the WaterLink® Spin Touch®, we can quickly pinpoint exactly what your pool or spa needs, taking the guesswork out of maintenance. This reliable method of testing helps you to avoid unnecessary chemicals, save time on corrections and ultimately protect both your investment and your family’s enjoyment of your pool.
