Why is DPD preferred over OTO for testing Chlorine/Bromine in a commercial pool?

  1. DPD is more cost-effective

  2. DPD reacts faster

  3. DPD only tests for Free Chlorine

  4. OTO only tests for Total Chlorine

The correct answer is: DPD is more cost-effective

DPD is preferred over OTO for testing Chlorine/Bromine in a commercial pool because it is more cost-effective.

This means that DPD provides a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of chlorine levels in the pool. Additionally, DPD reacts faster than OTO, allowing for quicker and more efficient testing.
