Very comfortable but could use a little improvement

Generally works well and makes testing much easier than rotating the sample by hand, but there are some minor issues: Sometimes the sample tube rotates and can tip over, you have to hold it in the base.

The sample vial requires a 44ml mark for the PH test, I scribbled a mark on it but close to the top. UPDATE After a few months I also noticed an inconsistency in the chlorine test…

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Expensive

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some mistakes

One button is for lighting in good light and the second for darker ones. There are six small LEDs at the base that light up when the second…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
