Pros: Ease of usage; Accuracy
Cons: I have none.
"This removes the guesswork.I have been able to maintain the levels closer to what is recommended.It is very friendly user and more accurate.I was amazed at the difference between the digital readout and the color strips.I enjoy using it.It does require patience on using it the first time because of time involved."

Great for Color Blind People,
June 17, 2008
By BJM2008
from LI,NY
|
Pros: Easy to read, quick definitive results
"I have been using this tester for two years and love the ease of use. Being color blind it was a pain to chase my wife around to get her to read results. Now I can do it all in one shot. I do agree results vary from dropper testers but if you just rely on this test you will be okay."

Easiest test kit to use,
June 3, 2008
By eloscuro
|
Pros: Clear, easy results
Cons: Instructions for use not completly clear
"I use these type of test strips and meters all the time with diabetes, so I have some experience. Many other reviewers had problems with accuracy.
The best instructions I got were from another reviewer:
Dunk the strip in the water and immediately put in the reader (face down). With that, it produces fast, consistent results. This isn't really mentioned in the instructions.
I have tried the other types of testing kits, and can never really tell if the color I see is out of range or OK. Having the meter is a tremendous benefit."

Awesome Reader!,
May 20, 2008

Pros: Automated pool water tester! Takes just seconds, keeps histoy of readings!
"I love the AquaChek! I have owned a pool for 16 years and have used every pool water tester in the book. I am done with the dropps and the mess.
I like how easy the AquaChek is to use, just turn it on, dip a strip and place it on the reader. You get a reading in seconds.
I also like the design of the device, it is built very solid and easy to hold.
Maintaining a pool can be a pain but this product makes it a bit easier."

Done right, it is great,
March 13, 2008
By rblax
from Michigan
|
Pros: Simple, easy and accurate
Cons: You have to read and follow the instructions
"I had trouble with the testing meter until I re-read the instructions. Pressing the start button at the same time I dipped the strip, shaking the water off and then laying the strip in (not sliding it) made a world of difference. I am getting consistent results on the pH and chlorine with good results on the total alkalinity."

AquaCheck TruTest Digital Test Strip Reader,
August 23, 2007
By bmb1022
|
Pros: Like the Idea And Easy To Handle
Cons: Never Get Agreable Readings With Test Kit And Dealer Test Lab
"When I use the AquaCheck I do not get accurate readings. I test with a reagent kit and get readings, and take water to lab and get same reading as test kit but AquaCheck give a much higher reading in all areas"

Pros: easy
Cons: not accurate
"This is such a great idea for pool water testing but I found it to be not very accurate. I do hope the company will do some tweaking and come up with a more reliable version of this tester."

Pros: Digital Readout

Great for quick check,
August 22, 2007
By RScott
|
Pros: Ease
Cons: Reliability
"Not a bad quick check when you don't have time to spend on the drops. I've never gotten the same results twice when conducting one test immediately after the other. Results are usually close to the drops test."

Works for Me!,
July 27, 2007
By sassysauls
|
Pros: Fast results
Cons: Need to check with other tester occasionally
"I bought this tester to use for a quick daily test. If we have doubts about the results we break out the drop tester and so far the tests have been very close. I am very pleased with the ease and speed of the results. Not having to hassle with the drops is a big plus and getting quick results is just an additional bonus. I would have no problem recommending this tester to anyone."

This was a great Idea,

Pros: nice size read out easy to read
Cons: not acurete almost messed up my pool
"I bought this meter because I thought that a read out would end the guessing on a test strip........
WRONG! this is so out of wack it was showing my Cl at .02 when it really was 3.0 also it never gave me the same reading twice. My advice to you is to stay away from this meter till the Hack Co. perfects it. it really is a 1 on the 10 scale.."

Not so fantastic,
June 17, 2007
By bryan

Pros: seems like a great idea
Cons: does not work as advertised
"You can check your water 20 times in a row, and never get the same reading. maybe I just got a bad one, but it seems it was just $60.00 thrown away"

Another great high tech gadget,
June 12, 2007
By Anonymous Reviewer
|
Pros: Super easy to use.
Cons: How accurate are the readings???, place test strip in and out of water fast or else readings are high.
"Wow is this thing sweet. Easy to use, just dip in water, and place on meter and press the button and 10 seconds later you have every thing you need to know. No more drops, no test tube things, no more making sure you have the right amount of water in the test tube, and no more color matching, just a small test strip, and meter. Plus another high tech. gadget (witch I love to have)."
