Water-ID – Glycine Reagent Tablets for PoolLab 1.0 – Pack of 500

These genuine Water-ID Glycine reagent tablets are an essential auxiliary reagent for the PoolLab 1.0 photometer. They are used to neutralise chlorine interference when testing ozone, bromine, or chlorine dioxide in pool water that also contains chlorine, ensuring the photometer returns an accurate reading for each individual disinfectant parameter rather than a combined false result. This economy pack of 500 tablets is ideal for busy pool professionals and service technicians who perform frequent water tests.

How Glycine Works in Pool Testing

When a pool uses ozone, bromine, or chlorine dioxide alongside chlorine as a secondary disinfectant, the presence of chlorine in the water sample will interfere with the DPD-based measurement and produce an inaccurate combined reading. Adding a Glycine tablet to the sample first neutralises the free chlorine, allowing the PoolLab 1.0 to measure ozone (0.00–2.70 mg/l), bromine (0.00–13.00 mg/l), or chlorine dioxide (0.0–11.4 mg/l) in isolation. Without Glycine, the result will reflect the combined oxidant level rather than the target parameter, making correct dosing decisions impossible.

Compatibility

These tablets are exclusively designed for use with the Water-ID PoolLab 1.0 photometer and are not included in the photometer’s standard kit. They must always be used in combination with the appropriate DPD photometer-grade tablets (e.g. DPD No. 1 and DPD No. 3) as directed by the PoolLab 1.0 measurement procedure. Always use photometer-grade tablets — never rapid-grade tablets — to ensure measurement accuracy.

Why Genuine Water-ID Tablets Matter

All genuine Water-ID reagent tablets are produced, blistered, and packaged in Germany to photometer-grade standards, guaranteeing exact dosing and consistent, repeatable results. Each tablet is individually blistered in an aluminium push-through blister for freshness and a shelf life of up to 2 years. Using non-genuine or rapid-grade alternatives risks incorrect measurement results and unreliable water management decisions.
