Maintaining TA within the suggested range reduces pH drift, so you won’t have to chase constant adjustments. Proper calcium hardness protects your pool or spa surfaces and equipment from corrosion or scaling. Keeping phosphate low helps curb algae without over-sanitizing. By tracking NaBr levels, you’ll know when to supplement bromine or, if you’re using Tru Blu salt, how much to add to sustain steady sanitization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eDip a BW-T100 Genesis strip into your water as directed by the pack instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompare the color changes to the included chart to determine each parameter’s reading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecord results and assess whether adjustments are needed in pH, TA, calcium hardness, phosphate, or bromine level.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMake targeted adjustments: pH adjusters, alkalinity boosters, calcium hardness solutions, or phosphate reducers as appropriate; add or balance Tru Blu salt to maintain bromine if your setup calls for it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRe-test after changes to confirm that readings now align with the ideal ranges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIdeal use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew bromine-based sanitation systems where quick baselines are crucial for safe, comfortable water.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRegular maintenance for residential pools, hot tubs, and spa pools that rely on NaBr-based bromine generation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAquatic facilities or water features where consistent clarity and swimmer comfort depend on stable chemistry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter heavy rain, heavy use, or partial water replacement when you need a clear, actionable read on where to start with adjustments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes BW-T100 Genesis strips different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated for sodium bromide and key water chemistry parameters in a single, easy-to-read strip format.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart of BluWater Technology’s Genesis line, engineered to provide reliable, on-site insights without complicated equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigned to help you decide not just “what to test,” but “what to do next”—especially when balancing Tru Blu salt and bromine sanitation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith BW-T100 Genesis Test Strips, you gain a practical, user-friendly tool for maintaining safe, clear water.
