This article covers how to manage chemical test types and set their acceptable parameter ranges. Proper configuration of chemical tests allows for more efficient service planning and better compliance with industry standards.
Access the Chemical Test Setup page
To access the chemical test list and setup, navigate to Setup → Water tests → Chemical test.
Columns
Exceptions
This column shows the number of exceptions created for this chemical test.
Show by default column
The 'Show by default' column has switchers that will allow you to enable/disable certain chemical tests.
Actions
Clicking the pencil icon will let you edit the exceptions set for each chemical test.
Adding Chemical test details and exceptions
To edit the details and exceptions to a chemical test, click on the pencil icon from the Actions column.
Add the minimum, maximum and target results.
You may also customise the report messaging. This message will appear on the job sheets and water test report.
To add an exception, click on the 'New Exception' button in the upper-right corner.
You can create your own exceptions according to surface types, classifications, ground level, location, pool types, sanitiser, temperature, and sanitisers. You can specify the acceptable range for each exception.
During water testing, the system determines the specific conditions associated with the pool being tested. If exceptions have been configured for the chemical test (e.g., pH, alkalinity, or other parameters), Pooltrackr will apply those specific minimum, maximum, and target values instead of the general default values.
