Testing the Waters

Palintest, a world-leading
producer of water testing
products, introduces its new
Pooltest 3 and Pooltest 6
handheld photometer kits for
water chemistry analysis. The
new ultra compact Pooltest 3
and Pooltest 6 photometers
allow pool and spa owners,
service technicians, pool
operators and managers to
maintain a high level of water quality with three or six
highly accurate water chemistry tests. The Pooltest 3, for
routine pool monitoring, has tests for chlorine levels, pH and
cyanuric acid, with the option of a 0-10 mg/l extended range
chlorine test. The Pooltest 6 includes the same basic parameter tests, and can also measure alkalinity, bromine and calcium
hardness levels for more in-depth water quality analysis. Both
instruments utilize multiple wavelength technology and new
narrow bandpass filters to ensure high accuracy. PALINTEST,

Sol, I nc. a nnounces the introduction of its
next generation
solar light intelligence. aiSUN™

of a solar light, making it brighter, more efficient and less complex. Sol's new aiSUN™ is an innovative combination of a solar
energy controller and LED driver in one unit. With adaptive
dimming and patented energy-management control, aiSUN™
efficiently converts and stores solar light energy from the sun
during the day. At night, aiSUN™ powers high-flux LED lighting from the reserve energy in any one or combination of five
operating modes including dimming, split-night, motion detector, wireless and network integration. Sol's aiSUN™ provides
the A.L.L.Night™ algorithm, which allows customers to define a
near-infinite combination of lighting levels and operating times
to illuminate their facilities at the desired time and brightness
level. SOL INC., 772.286.9461, www.solarlighting.com
