I have found that the Hardness, Free and Total Chlorine, Alkalinity, and pH are pretty close but the Cyanuric Acid is basically useless as it is for most paper test strips from my understanding. CA showed zero when it was actually about 80ppm when I first tested. I have the TaylorK-2006C which is perfect for fine tuning your chemicals and shows far more precise numbers but it's also $125 so I only use it to get my CA and alkalinity. I also bought a separate electronic salt meter that shows pH, etc and the strips are close but when adding pH down, I refer to the pH reading on the electronic meter so I don't add too much. But for what they are these test strips are the cheapest and best way to keep track of your pool's readings. Read more
I took my pool water to a local pool store to have it professionally tested, and I’m happy to say these EASYTEST 7-way strips were spot on with their results. They accurately measured chlorine, bromine, pH, and all the other key chemicals. The strips are simple to use, quick, and give a clear reading without any guesswork. It’s reassuring to know I can keep my hot tub and pool balanced without having to make extra trips to the store. Highly recommend for anyone who wants accurate, convenient water testing at home!

These work well, dependable and easy with quick reading. Read more
The CYA test shows zero when a top quality reagent test shows 40, which is in allowed range. I did not add CYA based only on these strips. However, the rest of the test strip tests were very precise and easy to read and matched the liquid tests. So definitely a good product other than CYA. Thank you. Read more
After trying different types of strips and the apps that come with some, I’ve settled on using these. Why? They are larger, uniform, easier to read, accurate and sell for a good price. Simple. Read more
My first year having a a 24 ft round pool with 15,000 gallons intimidated me. But thanks to these convenient strips, I surprisingly learned quite quickly how easy it was to keep and maintain chemicals levels at correct level in order to achieve safe, crystal clear, and clean water to swim in thanks to these strips. Process takes less than a minute and consists of dipping one strip in pool water only for a few seconds and lifting out quickly immediately showing what my pool chemical levels were at, so I could compare my strip to a chart printed on side of container showing exactly what levels I was at, and what pool chemicals I needed to adjust to keep pool water swim ready at all times during swim season. Comes with 150 strips which lasts me more than our swimming season in midwest. Read more
Have the color's on the bottle gotten darker on purpose or is this a printing issue? I have been using a year and noticed the newest bottle has a significantly darker color when comparing to the dip stick test strip. this is making me wonder if I need more chemical or if it is s test strip issue as I tried a Leisure Time strip and levels were all within range.

Very convenient and reasonably priced. On the downside the CYA reading is consistently dead. The pool store CYA result was 25. The pH result was also significantly off. Read more
