7 Way Test Strips,
November 26, 2008
By Barefootinfrom Minnesota
Pros: Fast, easy, saves trips to the pool store
"At first glance, you would think that these strips would not dial you in that well on your chemistry. After using them for three years now, I've found that they really do. I rarely go to the pool store for a computer water check anymore. These strips are so quick and easy that I can check my chemistry as often as I like. The vaules to be in shown by the strips have proven to be very accurate. When I keep my pool within the guidelines, I have no problems with the pool."

So easy to use, I actually TEST my pool water!,
October 31, 2007
By MarkJ99from Manhattan Beach, CA
Pros: Very quick, easy, and repeatable. Cons: Requires pool chemistry to be 'almost' right
"This is the way pool testing should be done! With my old liquid testers, I often only bothered to check the chlorine (and maybe the Ph), and then just let the rest go, rather than laboriously testing each parameter. But with these things, you'll find yourself WANTING to test the pool water, because it's kind of fun. OK, it IS fun: You just dip it, wait 15 seconds, and then compare the colors to the chart, and you then have SEVEN pool chemistry values in 30 seconds. (BTW: Don't bother with the 4 or 5 parm test strips. Just jump right in and get these 7 part strips, because you'll end up with these anyway, if like I did you start with the 4-bangers.) If you have a bit of chemistry background, and have used Ph test strips to test acid/alkali, these will seem like an obvious extension of that. But as with Ph strips, you need good neutral lighting (presumably sunlight is ideal), because it's a color matching system. The only "catch" is that some pool guys (like mine!), claim they are not accurate. And, for cyanuric acid ("stabilizer"), it's a known problem that the basic pool chemistry needs to be "almost right", or the cyanuric test will be off. But that may well be a limitation of liquid test systems as well. I don't know. I'm in the process of testing these against a liquid reagent system to compare the two. But so far, when I checked Ph via a Ph meter, the test strips were right on the mark. I'll try to remember to update this review once I get around to doing the cross-comparison. Parting shots: I'm betting the expiration date is way sooner than it needs to be (if you store them in a dry and cool place.) So maybe get a new batch and compare them to your old 'expired' lot to see when they REALLY "expire". That's what I plan to do."

Great Product!,
September 19, 2007
By southernmomfrom Arkansas
Pros: So, so simple Cons: None
"This product is so much simpler to use than the old way of testing the water. As long as you keep up with the instruction paper (chart is on it), you will know exactly what your pool needs. And it is very inexpensive."

August 22, 2007
By hdironmike
Pros: Easy to use - very accurate
"These Aqua Check Test Strips are awesome. They are easy to use, and very accurate. No messy drops and no counting drops. They are priced right and there are plenty enough strips to last for the entire summer in one package. I definitely recommend these to all of my friends. This is a must buy."

AquaChek test strips,
August 22, 2007
By Waynefrom North central West Virginia
Pros: Easy to use and works well every time Cons: None
"Very simple to use, just dip, count to 15 and read... Shows accurate readings every time and is fast. We use the chemical check on occasion too but this is faster, the secret is to know your pool and watch for tell tale signs of problems then act on them with "in the swim products" and a fast test strip like this makes it so easy."

Do not perform as I expected,
August 22, 2007
By Starstruck444
Pros: Easy to test teh water Cons: results are not clear
"I couldn't get a clear result from these test strips. The colors were really hard to match with the colors on the bottle. I will keep trying, but so far I still have to get my test kit out to get accurate results."

Pros: quick and easy Cons: Sometimes PH color is dificult to decipher
"Good product. Over all very easy to use. Nice to be able to check the 4 measurements quickly with out chemicals. Only fault I find is that telling the color of the PH can difficult at times."

August 22, 2007
By Ajstraightaway
Pros: Quick, Easy to Use Cons: None
"Test strips that are just for pools are very hard to find in my area of the country and these are excellent, quick and easy to use and I like the top on the bottles so that it is easy to get a strip out without all the rest being exposed to the elements."

Quick and Convenient,
August 22, 2007
By stevet
Pros: Quick, no mess, the kids can do it Cons: none
"These test strips are so easy, our kids want to do it for us. Normally with test kits, the kids would help put the drops in, etc but with these simple to use and simple to read strips, they can do it all themselves."
