Does anyone use the Spin Touch with the Water Link Solution mobile app

This peak my interest. I searched the Apple App store and unable to find "Spin Touch" or "Water Link Solutions". Can you provide more details of the apps?

This?

I am picking up a spin touch today. I'm looking forward to comparing the results with my k2006C kit. I have not yet decided what software I will use with the spin touch.

If I you don't mind me asking some indelicate questions: Are you buying the entire $900-ish system, along with additional disks and software? The whole shebang? How much are the disks? Specifically, not counting the cost of the system, how much does one full suite of tests cost, (FC, CC, pH, CH, TA, CYA, Salt)? How much was the software, and/or the subscription service per month?

After a quick look, as near as I can tell, this seems to be a color analyzer that measures and translates the colors off an array of swatches that appear to be the same or similar tech used in test strips. It'll be interesting to hear your take on: (1) if the system is any more than that, (2) more importantly: how its results compare to those from the K2006, and (3) how the time to run the full suite of tests compares to the time it takes to run the equivalent suite of tests using the K2006.

Hope it all works out for you. If you've found a better way to test pool water, we're all going to be very interested, that's for sure!!

The machine cost $840 and 50 single use disks that measure phosphates cost $111. I have the ones that measure borates on back order. I got the kit from scp. I expect leslie's to start stocking the disks for me. At just over $2 a test I don't expect to test every pool every week. I will still be using my k2006 when time allows. I will get quick at doing the spin test but already tonight's test took less than a quarter of the time it takes me to do a full reagent test. It's obviously a lot cleaner. I need to wear gloves now when I do the taylor test as I get silver nitrate on my hands when testing for salt and it's hard to get off.

At the weekend I will do a side by side comparison. My FC is currently above 14ppm as my salt cell stopped working and I shocked with liquid yesterday. The pool tech replaced the cell last night and set the output at 100%. I need to let Florida weather pull that down.

Maybe you can post some picks of the disks when you have time. I thought I saw a pic of one, and it seemed it had an array of colors. I assumed it was doing a bunch of tests at once. Is that the case? Of does it cost $2 for a single test of just phosphates? Another $2 for a single test of only borates? Like that? Or $2 for a full suite of tests, one suite has phosphates. But a different suite has borates?

Thanks for sharing!

4329-H are the only disks I could get today. It's a box of 50 use once disks that do 11 tests each including phosphates. There is another disk option that allows you to test for FC pH and alk 3 times but from what I understand, they have to be kept perfectly level once they're used the first time which makes them unsuitable for pool service.

I will probably download the waterlink mobile app tomorrow and try it out. Today I just used the screen on the device. My actual method was to arrive at a pool, take the sample, dry my hands and fill the disc. I let the machine perform the test while I connected my Bottom Feeder vacuum to the pole and start cleaning. I changed the screen time out to max so that after I did a lap I could look at the display and see what the results were.

The app in this case would be interesting if it could default push the results to my phone then I wouldn't have to look at the spintouch at all. I use my phone reguarly during the pool visit to take photos and upload them to Pay The Poolman software. The limitations of this software is that it doesn't allow me to add the results of the metal testing that the spintouch gives me. However, at this time, I will probably not take out a subscription to the Lamotte software as I would be tied into using the spintouch at every visit in order to log test results (at over $2 a disk that would get too expensive) and my PTPM software also does invoicing as well as routing.

If there was an app that could communicate with the spintouch and advise me of dosage amounts with a large easy to navigate interface (similar to PTPM), I would have no hesitation in purchasing it.

I will post a seperate thread regarding my experience with the Spintouch and it's results tomorrow.

Been interesting reading this. I bought a SpinTouch 2 weeks ago and have found it easy to use and the App works but the Ux could definitely be improved. Great to store the test history on the app.
