Works perfectly!

I got it on the recommendation of our pool maintenance company. I like to keep track of my free chlorine levels so they don't go above the required level and cause skin irritation etc. The digital meter makes this so easy and quick. The replacement straps are also very cheap. By the way, the results of this meter and the measurements of our pool service are very compatible with another method, so I trust the values.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Works just as well as drop test kits! And a lot easier to read!

I bought this kit because I was tired of playing the color matching game with drop test kits like Taylor did. I am not color blind but for some reason I have a very hard time determining the results when using drop test kits. I bought this kit to fix this problem and it worked very well. The results are consistent with Taylor's dropout sets and are much easier to read as they give the actual count. No color matching guessing! I did a little research before purchasing and this kit stood out for…

  • Confident

Consent could not be obtained for some tests.

I wanted this to work but it didn't. My readings were wrong compared to the 2 local pool seuras which were within 5% of each other. Chlorine was usually in the 0.2-0.4 range, pH was in the 0.2 range, but the biggest problem was the readings of cyuronic acid. I just bought a house and it seems like the previous owner never changed the water. So in my 38,000 gallon pool I had a Cya of 140 and 138 in 2 pool shops. So I did my tester and he said hello. Okay, 110 is the max. so I remove/replace…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Damaged
