Starver Test Kit
Description

The Starver Test Kit (LC-60STK) is a professional-grade phosphate testing system designed to accurately measure phosphate levels in spa and swimming pool water.

Phosphates are a key nutrient for algae growth, so regular testing helps identify conditions that may lead to algae outbreaks and increased chemical demand. This kit is an essential tool for maintaining clear, balanced, and efficiently sanitised water.

Product Information

Property Details
Brand Starver
Specifications Product code: LC-60STK
Type: Liquid reagent phosphate test kit
Designed for spa and swimming pool water testing
Measurement range: typically 0–20 ppm phosphate
Includes liquid reagents (A & B), test vial, and colour comparison chart
Provides multiple tests per kit (commonly around 60–70 tests depending on format)
Designed for use with Lo-Chlor Starver phosphate treatment systems
Suitable for residential and professional water testing applications
Functionality The Starver Test Kit works by introducing liquid reagents into a measured water sample, which react with phosphate compounds present in the water. The resulting colour change is then compared against a calibrated chart to determine phosphate concentration.

Accurate phosphate monitoring is important because high phosphate levels can significantly increase the risk of algae growth, even when sanitiser levels are correct. By identifying phosphate presence early, users can take corrective action using phosphate removers to maintain cleaner and more stable water conditions.
