PHMB Tablets for Photometers

Overview

PHMB tablets measure PHMB, the biguanide sanitiser used in pools run without chlorine. Because a PHMB pool has no chlorine residual to read, this test is the only routine check that the sanitiser level is being held.

Key features

• The routine sanitiser check on biguanide pools, where chlorine tests do not apply
• One tablet per test, so there is no measuring or decanting of liquid reagents
• Foil-sealed strips keep unused tablets dry until they are needed
• Supplied in the standard 250-tablet pack, item code TbSPPB250

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a chlorine test on a PHMB pool?
No. Biguanide is a different chemistry and will not show up on a DPD test, so PHMB has its own reagent and its own control band.

Photometer grade or rapid grade — which do I need?
Photometer grade is formulated for instruments that read a cuvette. If you work with a visual comparator or colour disc, ask us for the rapid-dissolving grade instead.

How should the tablets be stored?
Keep them sealed, cool and dry, and work through the oldest strip first. Once a strip is opened the tablets take up moisture, so use them promptly.
