Palintest, the leading provider of water analysis technologies, today announced the launch of the Lumiso Pooltest 9, the latest addition to its rebranded pool photometer range. The new instrument expands Palintest’s offering for the recreational water market, delivering a mid-range testing solution designed to bridge the gap between the Lumiso Pooltest 6 and the Lumiso Pooltest Expert.
The Lumiso Pooltest 9 provides accurate, reliable testing across nine key parameters, including chlorine, bromine, pH, total alkalinity, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, free and total copper, phosphate, and iron. This extended testing capability is designed for operators who need more than the essentials but do not require the full breadth of parameters available on the Pooltest Expert.
Jessica McKenna, Product Manager at Palintest, commented: “With the Lumiso Pooltest 9, we’re responding directly to customer feedback. Facilities such as recreation centres, fitness clubs, and community pools told us they needed a practical, cost-effective solution with more parameters than the Pooltest 6, but without the advanced interface of the Pooltest Expert. Pooltest 9 delivers exactly that — accuracy, simplicity, and peace of mind in one instrument.”
Relaunching the Pool Photometer Range
The launch of the Lumiso Pooltest 9 forms part of Palintest’s wider relaunch of its entire pool photometer range, which has been updated with a modern identity, and clearer product positioning. The refreshed portfolio now includes:
- Lumiso Pooltest 3 – entry-level solution for outdoor pools and residential use.
- Lumiso Pooltest 6 – core testing for pool operators and technicians.
- Lumiso Pooltest 9 – new mid-range model for recreation or leisure centres, fitness clubs, and community pools.
- Lumiso Pooltest Expert – comprehensive instrument for large facilities, hotel chains, pool supply stores, and resorts.
This repositioned range ensures that Palintest offers a tailored solution for every type of customer, from small facilities to major international operators.
Competitive Edge
The Lumiso Pooltest 9 enters the market with few direct competitors offering the same breadth of testing on a single handheld platform. By incorporating copper, iron, and phosphate alongside the six core pool parameters, Palintest is giving operators the tools to troubleshoot common water quality issues without the need for multiple instruments or third party involvement.
McKenna added: “We believe the Lumiso Pooltest 9 offers the ideal balance of functionality and affordability. By upgrading to this instrument, operators can perform essential and troubleshooting tests in-house, with data fully compatible with our Connect platform for streamlined compliance reporting.”
