Industrial Test Systems Pool eXact EZ Photometer Master Kit 486201-KM — 10-parameter NSF-certified digital kit, 25 tests/parameter

The ITS Pool eXact EZ Photometer Master Kit 486201-KM is a complete, NSF-certified digital pool test system that measures 10 key water parameters with lab-quality accuracy using patented eXact reagent strips.

Built by Industrial Test Systems in the USA, this master kit combines a handheld photometer, a mini-dilution accessory, a cleaning brush, a hard carrying case, an instruction manual, and 25 reagent strips for each parameter. The photometer reads free and total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, chloride (salt), copper, and phosphate quickly and without subjective color matching, making routine pool maintenance faster and more dependable.

How does the kit simplify pool water testing?

The Pool eXact EZ Photometer uses patented eXact strips that eliminate color charts: dip the strip for 20 seconds, discard it, and the meter displays a digital result instantly. This reduces user error and speeds up testing compared with traditional colorimetric methods.

• Patented strip reagent delivery—no color matching required
• 20-second dip-and-read procedure for each test
• Digital readout gives precise numeric results
• Compact carrying case keeps everything organized

Which water parameters and ranges are included?

The photometer covers ten common pool and spa analytes with detection ranges suitable for routine maintenance and troubleshooting. Results span low trace levels to higher concentrations so you can monitor both normal and abnormal conditions.

• Free Chlorine: 0.00–12 ppm; Total Chlorine/Combined: 0.00–12.0 ppm
• pH: 6.4–8.4; Total Alkalinity: 10–200 ppm
• Calcium Hardness: 20–700 ppm; Cyanuric Acid: 1–110 ppm
• Chloride (salt): 80–6700 ppm; Copper: 0.00–9.0 ppm; Phosphate: 0.2–3.0 ppm

What’s in the box and how durable is the kit?

The kit ships ready to use: the handheld photometer, a mini-dilution kit for high-range measurements, a cleaning brush, a printed manual, and 25 reagent strips for each parameter, all secured in a foam-fitted black plastic case. ITS manufactures components in the USA with quality control checks to ensure consistency and traceability.

• Foam-lined carrying case protects meter and accessories
• 25 tests supplied per parameter to start routine monitoring
• Instrument and reagents QC-tested during production
• Not Bluetooth capable—simple plug-and-play operation

How accurate and repeatable are the readings?

ITS applies recognized reference methods and calibrated standards during manufacturing so strip chemistry and meter electronics deliver reliable, repeatable readings. The digital photometer reduces interpretation variability compared to visual strip color comparison.

• Factory-calibrated standards validate reagent concentrations
• Quality Control rejects components outside specifications
• Digital measurement eliminates subjective color errors
• Mini-dilution accessory extends measurable ranges when needed

Who is this for? The ITS Pool eXact EZ Photometer Master Kit 486201-KM is aimed at pool professionals, service technicians, facility managers, and dedicated homeowners who want fast, quantitative water analysis without sending samples to a lab. It suits users who need multiple analytes in one portable system, value NSF-certified components, and prefer a digital meter to reduce human interpretation errors. If you need Bluetooth connectivity or remote logging, this model does not include those features, but it excels at on-site, reliable, multi-parameter readings for routine maintenance and problem-solving.
