The AquaVial Swim Test Kit is an easy, one-step screening tool that tells you whether your pool or hot tub water is safe to use. It works regardless of treatment type — chlorine, bromide, ozone, UV, or enzyme-based — and detects any microbe or fungi that has survived. Three different tests in each set let you identify both the effectiveness of your current treatment and the type of microbe that got through.
Some species of Pseudomonas have built resistance to chlorine and bleach, so simply increasing the dose won't help. AquaVial Swim gives you the peace of mind that your pool or hot tub is clean and safe — with lab-quality sensitivity down to 1 CFU/mL for coliforms and Pseudomonas.
Key Features
Three targeted vials per set: Total Microbe (blue cap), Coliform (yellow cap), Pseudomonas (green cap)
Highly sensitive: detects any microbe over 100 CFU/mL, and Coliforms / Pseudomonas at 1 CFU/mL
One-step method: pour 5 mL of sample into each vial and watch the colour change
Universal: works against chlorine-, ozone-, UV-, or enzyme-treated water
Cost-effective screening — avoid skin rashes and doctor visits from unsafe pool or spa water
2 sets per kit; 2-year shelf life; store away from direct sunlight
How It Works
Pour a 5 mL water sample into each of the three vials (Total Microbe, Coliform, Pseudomonas).
Cap each vial and shake gently to dissolve the reagent.
Incubate for 48 hours at 20–30°C (70–90°F) — room temperature is fine.
Read the colour change in each vial against the included chart to identify which microbe is present.
