    Testing for Chlorine at Home


    The most sensible way to test your chlorine levels is with self-testing. Chlorine is a very volatile chemical and properly measuring chlorine in the laboratory requires very expensive shipping methods and refrigeration. In order to give you the most effective reading on your home's chlorine levels, your package includes two FREE chlorine test strips. The strips we send you will show if your chlorine levels are abnormally high (or low) in your water. You'll be able record your results directly into your Tap Score Report.
