AquaChek 561141-02 Salt Water Test Strips for Swimming Pools, 10-Count, 2-Pack

Works well. I use it all the time

This type of Salt Test Strip is easiest to read and use. Very accurate and is quick! It’s our go to every year.

I tested my saltwater swimming pool with an electronic tester, and the salt level seemed quite high. I wasn’t sure if this was accurate so I ordered the test strips. The test strip gave me the same results so I was very satisfied with that and will continue to use them.

Having read the mixed reviews, I decided to give these a shot anyhow. What pushed me over the edge was hearing that a few pool "pros" use them to double-check readings, and have said they are fairly accurate. My tube was marked: LOT A3102 Use By 03/2015 **UPDATE: At the end, I have updated my review to include the revised cross-reference chart mine came with** The Good: * Quick/easy to use * Useful accuracy * Great to quickly check cell readings Mixed Feelings: * They have apparently revised their product at least once, if not more, and the cross-reference chart figures are different. This may have led to readout issues for some. Buy it or not?: * Yes, I would reccomend this to someone who wants to do a quick check on their salt level/cell readouts, without having to rush to the pool store. Keep these on hand. Follow the included instructions precisely, and I would suggest using 2-3 strips at once to ensure accuracy. Why I gave 4/5 stars: * Biggest thing is the price, the strips end up being close to $1/ea. The Instructions: The instructions in mine basically stated to put 1" of water in a cup, and put the strip in. Wait until the yellow horizontal string at the top entirely turned black (3-4 minutes, no longer than 12), and to immediately take a reading at that point, using the "peak" of the white etched portion as the reference point. The Details: First thing to note, the instructions which came with the product have a different chart than what they have on their website. My instructions have a cross-reference from 1 to 10, whereas what's on the website shows 1-7. The chart on the back of the tube matches the chart in my instructions. The figures are also different. I wonder if this has caused some issue with accuracy? I used the instructions which came with the tube, and followed them precisely. For accuracy, I tested these against a known-good digital readout. I decided to use 3 strips at once from the tube to determine variance. I put 1" of water in a container, and placed all 3 strips in simultaneously. Between 0-2 minutes, you could see the indicator being etched away, and the yellow strip at the top slowly fading black. At precisely 3:02, the strip went black all the way across, for all 3 strips. I pulled them out, and took a reading. The included chart indicated that my salt ppm was 3790. My digital readout showed 3800. All 3 strips indicated the exact same reference point. Air temperature was 91*F, water temperature was 89*F. That's a decent accuracy for me, and there was no variance between the 3 strips. The Chart: (this one differs from what they have on their website, and matched my digital readouts) 1.8 - 370 2.0 - 430 2.2 - 480 2.4 - 540 2.6 - 600 2.8 - 670 3.0 - 740 3.2 - 810 3.4 - 890 3.6 - 970 3.8 - 1060 4.0 - 1150 4.2 - 1250 4.4 - 1360 4.6 - 1470 4.8 - 1590 5.0 - 1720 5.2 - 1860 5.4 - 2010 5.6 - 2170 5.8 - 2350 6.0 - 2540 6.2 - 2750 6.4 - 2970 6.6 - 3220 6.8 - 3490 7.0 - 3790 7.2 - 4120 7.4 - 4490 7.6 - 4910 7.8 - 5370 8.0 - 5900 8.2 - 6510 8.4 - 7210

These work the best of all the home test strips.

Works great!!

Strips were delivered quickly and the expiration date was good.

These quantab test strips lack the accuracy I need for my pool. I've been having a lot of variance in my salt water chlorinator cell (from 0-3600), so I wanted to get a more accurate reading before adding salt, this was not the answer. Presumably I used to much water in my first couple samples, and(or) the temperature was so low that it affected the reading, in either case the Taylor Silver Nitrate test shows 4200 ppm (after 4 tests within 1-2 drop of each other, the Aquacheck showed between 1000 and 2500. If you have a salt water chlorinator, it will be infinitely more accurate than these, so just buy the Taylor salt water kit if you want to ck the chlorinator.

Ottimo prodotto fa bene il suo specifico lavoro. I risultati sono precisi

I don't have a drop test to check the accuracy but they read higher after I added salt and the reading makes sense. If anything, my chlorinator is a bit on the whacky side. I may amend this review after I get a chemistry test to check these against. Handy to use after a big rain.

Bei der Kontrolle in Spanien durfte ich feststellen, dass das gleiche Produkt dort 10 € günstiger war!!!😡

Fácil de usar, producto tal y como lo describe el proveedor, las instrucciones te lian, así que lo ideal es que cojas un vaso de agua, sumerjas la tira un cm y si llega a 3000 la sal es ideal. Sólo te comprueba la salinidad.

Work great and are really easy to read.
