Swimming Chemical Chlorine 2oz Otoand Phenol Reviews Summary

Accuracy of Test Results

Pros:

• "I am very pleased with the accuracy of the PH test."
• "Ph seems to be OK to tell the level and fairly accurately against other testing measures."
• "Good price, easy to use, and I found it give very accurate results too."
• "This review is for the WWD POOL Swimming Pool Spa Water Chemical Test Kit for Chlorine and Ph Test ONLY. The test kit is accurate, easy to use, and priced right. I highly recommend."
• "This is the second time that I have purchased this kit, it lasts a long time, is accurate and easy to read."
• "I prefer this method of testing free chlorine and PH over the method of using testing strips that you dip in the water, as this method of measuring free chlorine and PH is far more accurate than testing strips."
• "So far this kit is perfect for our above ground pool. I've used it 4 times since getting it and I have been able to adjust my PH levels and Chlorine more accurately with the test kit."

Cons:

• "The pH reading was way off from the original set of chemicals for my test kit."
• "You know what they say, ‘you get what you pay for’. The low price should have been a flag, but I thought I’d give it try. It is terribly inaccurate."
• "Both pH and Chlorine tests are extremely inaccurate."
• "Chlorine consistently reads low when I know it is not."
• "The colors on the side are impossible to match up with the color of the sample."
• "It registered zero chlorine while my HDX and Taylor kits registered almost 3 ppm chlorine."
• "Color intensity for chlorine concentration is so slight I cannot get accurate readings."

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Standard style 3 way test kit. Bromine/free chlorine and Ph Testing kit. Small, compact and easy to read. Clear instructions with easy to identify color coding."
• "This is the classic/traditional swim pool test kit. Simple to use. Works exactly as indicated by the included directions."
• "This kit is well made, the bottle's tops have a safety feature that keeps them from leaking."
• "This is easy to use and am glad both the bottles and the container all fit in one box."
• "Has everything you need to test pool water and explanation for each reading."
• "Great product. I threw away my test strips."
• "Looks like a well equipped and quality pool test kit."

Cons:

• "The caps on the bottles are flimsy and difficult to open."
• "This is a cheap knock off test kit."
• "The bottles are extremely cheap plastic that sort of collapse and dispense more drops than intended."
• "The new child proof caps are the worst ever designed my man or beast."
• "Caps very difficult to remove.Cannot use without staining my hands."
• "The red is very diluted, neither bottle has a good tip to allow a consistent drop."
• "The reagent bottle caps do not close securely."

Usability and Convenience

Pros:

• "Wanted to test our water without going to the pool store each time, but we aren't sure how accurate the PH test is, for the color on the test tube is not exactly the true color of the testing red material. Otherwise, it is easy to use."
• "I’ve had spas and pools for many years. I’ve never had an issue with this product or the company associated with them. Product is a good value that works well."
• "This is the best, test strips have been a nightmare."
• "PROS I have a leak in my pond...10 gallons over night. My knee is messed up now so I can't fix it. I hated wasting money on chlorine remover on every time I fill the pond up, so I bought this kit to see how much chlorine is in each of my 5 gallon buckets when sitting over night, The chlorine was nice and yellow when buckets were first filled. After sitting all night the buckets were crystal clear the very next morning. The tester has saved me lots of money on chlorine remover because I fill up 2 buckets everyday until I can put my new liner in."
• "Worth it as for refill and it dispense at a drop at a time."
• "I like this type of water tester over the strips and it is sometimes hard to find in stores. Very easy to order, accurate and arrived promptly."
• "Very simple to use. Collect your pool water samples, and add only 4 drops of the test solutions, and verify Ph and Chlorine Levels. Done"

Cons:

• "Fluid on drip bottle sometimes squirts out and you have to start over."
• "Pretty sure they just sent water. Nothing changed color or worked, this after I tested with the real thing."
• "I have used this product perhaps 5 or six times. The two bottles are now virtually empty. If the case is lying flat, then the bottles leak."
• "bottles are just too hard. You can barely control the drips when trying to take a measurement."
• "This is the first time in seven years I’ve ever had a pool tester kit fail on me."
• "This is a cheap pool tester, and it spilled all over the box on arrival, I will be returning."
• "Bottles the chemicals came in do not have lids that seal."

Shipping and Packaging

Pros:

• "Came not broken. Seems accurate."
• "I am so happy you had this tester. I looked everywhere until I decided, ok that's it, I'm looking at Amazon. Thank you so much, next time I'll start here."
• "The chlorine is accurate however the PH test is iffy."
• "Great, had a small amount of leakage upon arrival but a tissue was packed inside the kit to account for that."
• "Easy to use, easy to read was affordable and helped keep the pool in check this summer."
• "The red bottle leaked during shipping and only arrived."
• "It is a basic tester works good for 10 bucks."

Cons:

• "When I received my order and opened it at least half of the solutions were gone."
• "The chlorine had leaked out all over the inside of container."
• "took forever to get here. when it did one of the caps on the bottle was loose and most of the product what leaked out. got about a quarter of what was originally in the bottle."
• "They are basically watered down and not accurate. I tested the old ones I was replacing with these and they did not work. I guess 5.99 was to good to be true. Get what you pay for."
• "This pool testing kit was so cheap and terrible. How could something as straightforward as a testing kit be so bad?"
• "Both Bottles that held the solution the caps would not tighten down and the solution spilled out."
• "Looks like a well equipped and quality pool test kit but I’m deducting two stars because one of the test chemicals leaked in transit."
