I only use liquid tests now. While a bit more expensive than the strip tests they end up being cheaper in the long run, especially if you get the ph test as part of the master test kit. ^_^[hr width='40%'] ![]() ![]() ![]() |

They should not be used for aquariums remembering pools have several other chemicals added which aquariums do not eg Chlorene My local Gym uses a very expensive electronic system for testing even those pool strips are not accurate enough for them.
