Abstract: A kit is described that can be used for measuring free chlorine in water. The kit includes a buffer with potassium maleate and an indicator. A method for measuring a concentration of free chlorine in a water system includes adding an indicator and a buffer with potassium maleate to a water sample collected from the water system, measuring a light absorbance of the water sample after the indicator and the buffer have been added to the water sample, and determining a concentration of the free chlorine in the water system based on the measured light absorbance.
