Functional test skits or testing systems to test for total copper and silver concentrations shall be provided when they are used as supplemental disinfectants;

(c)

Test kits for measuring free chlorine or bromine shall use DPD as the reagent.

Outdoor Pools — Bromine — Hourly;

(B)

Indoor Pools — Bromine — every 4 hours.

Continuous reading devices shall satisfy requirements in subsections (3)(a), (b) and (c) of this rule if such devices record in pH units and ppm of free chlorine or bromine;

(e)

Total copper — Weekly, if used;

(f)

Total silver:

(A)

If ionizing technology is used, once per quarter for one year after equipment is installed; twice per year thereafter;

(B)

Weekly if silver is dispensed without using ionizing technology.

(g)

Total alkalinity — Weekly;

(h)

Calcium hardness — (recommended) — Weekly;

(i)

Turbidity — Daily;
