AquaChek TruTest Pool Test Strips Refill - Pool & Spa Water (100 Strips)

Order every years. Work perfectly

I have used the AquaChek Test Strips with the AquaCheck monitor devise for about 8 years and find the unit accurate based on the clearness of the pool water based on the AquaCheck readings. The unit is well worth the $$ as long as you take care of the unit and store without the batteries during the winter months. The test strips are competitively priced Amazon and arrive in 1 or 2 days for Prime customers. The strips and unit are not always sold or supplies on-hand at the local pool dealers or retail, but are always available on Amazon. If you want an easy to use accurate pool chemical tester, this one is recommended.

This are the best Test Strips ever. But it is not easy to find it. Thanks Pool Zoom

I've been using these test strips for quick checks for years and have had ZERO issues with them. I use them in my pool and hot tub. I do use a digital tool to read the strips. I use a much more detailed testing system IF I have any issues. for daily quick checks.. These work fine for me. NOTE: Expiration date is only about 6 months after you get them. So buy accordingly .

These strips go with the same brand reader. Buying these strips might be a bit more costly, but it makes your life so much easier! You insert it into the reader and turn it on. Take your sample and the reader will tell you if it's in range or what's needed. You can't interchange the test strips, so you do need to buy this kind, but it's well worth it for people like me who are intimidated by all the chemicals and testing that's needed.

Wonderful product

I purchased these test strips because they're a hundred count bottle of test strips. I like to dip the strips down into the spa water, up to the middle of the forearm. I swirl the strips around in the water for a couple of seconds and when I pull the strip out of the water hit the test button, flick my arm and strip a couple of times and quickly place the test strip into the reader. I keep a cotton tip swab at the ready to pre-clean the colorimeter glass before dipping the test strip in the spa. I place the test strip in the reader slot and hold the test strip in place with the cotton swab laying the length of the test strip. I take three readings so I can get a trend line for the spa water chemistry. Overall, when tests are done in this fashion, you'll need a boatload of test strips and the more you test your water, the more you'll need this product for the convenience having so many strips provides. Also, buying large numbers of test strips like this, if you have to pay for postage you'll save by having to make less purchases. This is a good thing. Hope the above helps.

Chlorine seems to be fairly consistent, but the ph and alkalinity are all over the place. Example I tested for ph and it read 8.0 and 5 minutes later another strip read 6.9!!!!! Same inconsistency with alkalinity.

The idea is simple enough but readings can vary wildly between two sticks (the two readings are taken close together to confirm a suspiciously high - or low - reading. Follow the instructions carefully - do not slide the stick into the slot - and read out of strong sunlight or use the light shield. Problems seem to be caused by a patchy colour density on the strips, the reading depending on the precise area the meter reads. When the readings have appeared inherently unlikely, I have gone back to the old methods which depend on the use of the human eye, and these have invariably proved the more believable. This is a pity. It is much faster than tablets and colour charts and potentially more accurate than test tapes using the eye and colour comparisons, which are as fast but less accurate than the tablets. I suspect the active reagents/indicator are not always distributed as evenly as they should be over the test area, which I would guess is a matter of quality control. Given the cost of the meter and bottles of strips, I would have expected better quality. You also have to watch the expiry date of the strips, which might be quite short if they have been at the retailers for some time.
