Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2023While our local pool store offers free water testing, I don't regret my investment in this kit at all. It is convenient and you can test more often when you are having issues. I also often test myself and bring a sample for professional testing as well. I feel better when I know the pool store is being honest with me.
Using a kit like this forces you to understand water chemistry a bit better. You are not at the mercy of a pool store telling you that you need this and this and some of that. I find it especially useful for our spa which I find is a bit more work to maintain than our pool. Reagents are by far more easier to read than strips which I find are often difficult to read. (e.g. the colour "kind of" matches, but not exactly). With this kit you are either comparing the colour of your water sample to a standard or you are adding drops and counting them until you water sample changes colour. It is quite easy to use.
My understanding is that the FAS-DPD test for chlorine included in this kit is best (most accurate) test available for chlorine. It uses a powder with drop reagents. You count drops until colour changes occur. DPD test kits use reagents and colour matching. OTO kits do the same, but from my understanding are quite useless. The latter two methods become very unreliable if your chlorine levels are very low or very high.
Included in this kit are tests for all of the most common water parameters that you'd want to test. (It does not have reagents for testing salt levels for those who use salt chlorinators in their pools). I don't miss this because my chlorinator provides this reading and I can compare it to my pool company when I do have my water professionally tested.
