Both of these two tests, total chlorine and free chlorine are easy to test for, we test this regularly in edmonton city water. It takes about 10 minutes to conduct both tests.
Hach makes tests packages for both using a colorimeter.
I have been using pool strips that have free chlorine and total chlorine. They only go down to 0.5 ppm. I haven't see anything on them anytime I've tested. I'm going to try out something else.
