Labbox Portable PoolLab Photometer 2.0, basic set
The Labbox Portable PoolLab Photometer 2.0, basic set is a handy high-end photometer specially designed for professional water analysis in pools and other water areas. Thanks to its modern triple cuvette, three parameters can be measured in parallel, resulting in significant time advantages in laboratory and practice environments. Compared to conventional pool or handheld photometers, this model is particularly attractive due to its extensive measurement options, robust design and reliable measurement accuracy. It supports up to 24 different water parameters (depending on the availability of suitable reagents) and delivers precise results for safe water quality.
Compact design and advanced functions
This device enables the recording of essential parameters such as alkalinity, pH value, chlorine (including free chlorine) and cyanuric acid. In addition, the system can be expanded to include various other analyses once the appropriate reagents have been added. A large color display offers a clear presentation of the measurement results, while Bluetooth and WLAN interfaces enable flexible data transfer to the associated software, app or cloud. This ensures complete documentation of measured values in real time.
Water resistance in accordance with IP68 is particularly noteworthy, meaning there is no risk of damage even if the device is submerged for a short time. This not only makes the device resistant to splashing water, but also allows it to be used safely by the pool or in a damp environment.
Most important features
- Triple measuring cuvette for parallel parameter determination
- Large color display for clear readability
- Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces for wireless data transmission
- Up to 24 parameters can be analyzed (with corresponding reagents)
- Certified to IP68, ideal for use in wet areas
- Includes reagent starter kit for the most common measurements
- Basic kit available with bag, stirring rods, syringe and batteries
In addition, three color-coded plastic stirring rods (white, blue, red) are included in the scope of delivery to avoid confusion when taking different measurements. The light protection cap supplied additionally protects the photometer against interfering influences during evaluation. Three AA batteries are used for operation, ensuring good availability and sufficient runtime.
High reliability thanks to suitable reagents
The photometer basic kit contains a specially adapted reagent starter kit with phenol red, DPD-1, DPD-3, alkalinity M and CYA tablets. This enables the immediate measurement of alkalinity, chlorine (tablet mode), cyanuric acid and pH value. If required, additional reagents (e.g. PRLR or POLR) can be purchased to analyze further parameters. The wide range of up to 24 parameters enables flexible adaptation to different application scenarios.
The device meets high requirements in terms of precision and handling. Thanks to advanced lighting and exact system calibration, measurement errors are minimal. In addition, the software offers extensive evaluation options in combination with cloud synchronization. This allows trends to be identified and water treatment measures to be taken in good time.Application examples
- Public and private swimming pools: precise recording of pH value, free chlorine and combined chlorine to monitor water quality
- Spa and wellness centers: Regulation of the pH value plus determination of cyanuric acid to use the disinfectant efficiently.
- Hotel pools and water parks: Fast measurement of multiple parameters thanks to the triple cuvette, so that large volumes of water can be professionally monitored.
- Laboratories and service providers in the pool water sector: Extended parameter selection for demanding tasks, e.g. determination of total alkalinity or additional ingredients.
FAQs
How often should the measurements be carried out?
This depends on the usage and local conditions. For heavily frequented pools, a daily measurement is recommended, while a check several times a week may be sufficient for private pools.
Can the photometer also be used in the rain or directly at the edge of the pool?
Yes, thanks to the IP68 certification it is protected against water ingress. However, it should not be left under water for long periods of time to prolong its service life.
Which reagents are included as standard
The basic starter kit includes phenol red, DPD-1, DPD-3, alkalinity-M and CYA tablets. This covers the most important parameters such as alkalinity, pH value, free chlorine, total chlorine and cyanuric acid.
How can the device be maintained and cleaned?
In order to avoid incorrect measurements, cuvettes should be rinsed regularly with distilled water. External cleaning with a soft cloth to remove dirt is also recommended.
Is it possible to add further measurement parameters?
Yes, additional reagents and special test kits can be purchased to analyze up to 24 parameters. For example, additional substances such as bromine or calcium hardness can be determined.
Conclusion
This photometer impresses with its high measurement accuracy, intuitive operation and extensive connectivity functions for professional pool water analysis. The triple cuvette speeds up routine checks and offers efficient operation. In addition, the robust, IP68-certified housing ensures that precise measurements are possible even in challenging environments. The basic kit contains all the important accessories and a reagent starter pack so that the most common pool parameters can be determined immediately after unpacking. All in all, it is a reliable, well-thought-out solution for professionals who rely on maximum accuracy and flexibility for the quality assurance of pool and bathing water.
