Revolutionize water testing with unmatched speed, accuracy, and simplicity!

The LaMotte WaterLink SpinTouch FF is the pinnacle of water testing technology, designed to simplify freshwater and saltwater quality monitoring. This portable photometer automates up to 8 parameter tests in just 2 minutes, eliminating manual guesswork and delivering lab-grade precision.

Where the SpinTouch Fits in the Testing Hierarchy

BTA’s Expert Opinion: Traditional water testing solutions range in quality and complexity. Here's how the SpinTouch compares:

  • Basic Test Kits (Drop Kits & Titrated Kits): Affordable but prone to user error and limited in accuracy. Suitable for general monitoring.
  • Specialized Tests (e.g., Nitrate & Phosphate): Offer higher precision for critical parameters, especially in low-nutrient environments, but require multiple tests and additional purchases for each parameter.
  • SPINTOUCH IS SITTING ABOUT HERE, JUST UNDER OR ON PAR WITH HANNA CHECKERS, APART FROM A FEW PARAMETERS LIKE NITRATE AND PHOSPHATE
  • Hanna Checkers: Compact single-parameter photometers that deliver excellent accuracy but are limited to one parameter at a time.
  • Multi-Parameter Photometers: Ideal for aquarists and professionals managing diverse water systems. They provide a balance of precision and speed.
  • ICP/N-doc Testing: The gold standard for ultimate accuracy, especially for detailed elemental analysis. However, these methods are time-intensive and require external labs.

The LaMotte SpinTouch FF sits head and shoulders above test kits IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, delivering multi-parameter photometer accuracy with unmatched ease and speed. While nitrate and phosphate levels in low-nutrient reef systems may still require specialized testing for optimal accuracy, the SpinTouch is perfect for everyday water monitoring and testing efficiency. By reducing your testing time, you can focus on what truly matters—maintaining vibrant and healthy aquatic systems.

For even greater convenience, you can utilize your local store’s SpinTouch testing services to cover a full suite of parameters, saving you time and ensuring high-quality results for your tank. Whether you're managing a simple system or a high-tech reef tank, the SpinTouch FF can handle nearly all your water quality needs with precision and ease.

Unparalleled Accuracy with Advanced Testing Technology

The SpinTouch FF performs 50 individual tests per parameter, automatically identifying and removing outliers before calculating an average for each result. This cutting-edge process ensures highly consistent and accurate results while significantly reducing human error. Whether you’re managing a fish farm, a reef tank, or conducting water quality research, this advanced averaging system guarantees reliability you can trust.

Comparison of SpinTouch FF to ICP Testing

Freshwater Parameters (FF104 SpinDisks):

  1. pH: SpinTouch closely matches ICP values with deviations of ±0.05.
    • Example: Lab: 8.2 | SpinTouch: 8.15–8.30​.
  2. Alkalinity: Deviations are minimal, typically within ±7 ppm.
    • Example: Lab: 88 ppm | SpinTouch: 79–87 ppm​.
  3. Hardness: Reliable within ±10%, demonstrating robust accuracy.
    • Example: Lab: 216 ppm | SpinTouch: 210–234 ppm​.
  4. Ammonia: SpinTouch effectively detects ammonia above 0.01 ppm with minor variation.
    • Example: Lab: <0.01 ppm | SpinTouch: 0.01–0.16 ppm​.
  5. Nitrite: Low-level detection matches ICP closely, excellent for aquaculture needs.
    • Example: Lab: <0.01 ppm | SpinTouch: -0.04–0.01 ppm​.
  6. Nitrate: Deviations are typically ±5%, maintaining reliability for aquaculture use.
    • Example: Lab: 145.74 ppm | SpinTouch: 137–157 ppm​.
  7. Phosphate: Results align within ±0.2 ppm, suitable for daily monitoring.
    • Example: Lab: 4.16 ppm | SpinTouch: 3.75–4.04 ppm​.

Saltwater Parameters (FF203 SpinDisks):

  1. pH: Deviation of ±0.03, aligning SpinTouch closely with ICP.
    • Example: Lab: 8.1 | SpinTouch: 8.04–8.07​.
  2. Alkalinity: Variations are within ±10 ppm, ensuring reliable monitoring.
    • Example: Lab: 107 ppm | SpinTouch: 83–113 ppm​.
  3. Ammonia: SpinTouch detects ammonia effectively, with slight deviations.
    • Example: Lab: <0.01 ppm | SpinTouch: -0.01–0.14 ppm​.
  4. Nitrite: Precision is maintained for values below 0.01 ppm, matching lab-grade results.
    • Example: Lab: <0.01 ppm | SpinTouch: -0.03–0.01 ppm​.
  5. Nitrate: Excellent agreement with ICP, with deviations typically within ±0.5 ppm.
    • Example: Lab: 1.49 ppm | SpinTouch: 1–2 ppm​.
  6. Calcium: Deviations remain minimal at higher concentrations, within ±20 ppm.
    • Example: Lab: 386 ppm | SpinTouch: 342–394 ppm​.
  7. Magnesium: Variations are typically ±5%, aligning well with ICP results.
    • Example: Lab: 1320 ppm | SpinTouch: 1216–1361 ppm​.
  8. Phosphate: SpinTouch provides accurate results within ±0.02 ppm of ICP.
    • Example: Lab: <0.01 ppm | SpinTouch: 0.03–0.21 ppm​.

Parameters Tested:

  • Freshwater (FF104 Disks): Alkalinity, Ammonia, Hardness, Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Phosphate.
  • Saltwater (FF203 Disks): Alkalinity, Ammonia, Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Phosphate.
