Product details

LaMotte 3896A-J is the alkalinity TesTabs refill for the ColorQ 2X photometer, supplied as a pack of 100 tablets.

How the test works

The ColorQ 2X reads color change rather than asking you to judge it by eye. Drop the tablet into the sample, let it dissolve, and the meter reports total alkalinity as a number. That takes the guesswork out of a reading that people routinely misjudge on a comparator block.

What the pack covers

These tablets run the alkalinity test only. The ColorQ measures several parameters and each of them has its own reagent, so keep the ones you use most on hand. At 100 tablets, this pack covers regular testing for a long stretch of the season.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What meter are these for?
The LaMotte ColorQ 2X photometer.
How many tablets are in the pack?
100.
Which test do they run?
Alkalinity. Each of the other ColorQ tests uses its own reagent.
Why does alkalinity matter?
Total alkalinity buffers the water against pH swings. If alkalinity is out of range, pH will not hold wherever you set it, so alkalinity is the reading to correct first.
