The responsibility of keeping the public safe when using municipal swimming pools and spray-pads can be a daunting task however having the right equipment to test pool water is critical to ensuring a safe environment.
Numerous equipment configurations exist in the marketplace today that allow Environmental Health Officials to test water quality parameters however each configuration is vastly different, has different levels of accuracy and different features.
Visual tests or comparative tests have played a key role in water quality testing up to this point but with recent advancements in electronics, digital technology and sensor technology, the guess work in determining water quality parameters has been removed.
This learning lab will showcase the latest water quality measurements devices available today and provide attendees the opportunity to conduct various water quality tests. Additionally, the session will guide attendees through calculations which will demonstrate how slight differences in instrument accuracy can lead to dramatic changes in water quality and how those changes can affect public safety and equipment safety.

This sounds like a great opportunity to compare test kits and to find out what might effect results when comparing kits. Good information when it comes time to order equipment for staff.
