AquaChek 511244 02 Yellow Chlorine Strips Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Simple to use, not too many aspects of water chemistry to measure or deal with... just the necessary basics."
• "These strips are perfect for maintaining your pool or spa. They are easy to use and only test the most basic but necessary chemical levels."
• "These test strips are very easy to use."
• "Very easy to use."
• "It is very easy to use, you get your result very quick."
• "Very easy and self explanatory to use the product, so far super accurate readings and I have used it for the past 3 weeks."
• "Dip and compare is easy but sometimes it's picking the right colour that is a little harder."

Cons:

• "The strips showed completely inaccurate readings. If you were to add chemicals based on these readings, it would make the water hazardous."
• "These seemed kind of hit and Miss. I had to check 2-3 times before I could get a result."
• "Very easy to use, but the reading seems to be the same despite my adjusting the chlorinator, so I am not sure how accurate these things are."
• "Colors on my kit did not match any of the colors on the test strip. Not able to get accurate readings because of this."
• "When I tried to test using these strips (bought 2 and tried both) the test spots didn't change color at all. They are obviously defective."
• "Horrible product. The colors don't change at all when I test the water."
• "These are ambiguous at best. The colors on the strips are very weak so it is hard to match them up to the chart on the bottle."

Accuracy

Pros:

• "Out of all the test strips I have tried these are the most reliable, would highly recommend to anyone with an above ground pool. Important to keep them out of the sunlight and stored with cap on tightly."
• "These are good quality strips, I've checked them next to my test tube values and they seem to be fairly accurate."
• "Seems very accurate when comparing to an in-store analysis."
• "For my pool, PH and Chlorine are accurate, and that's what I need it for."
• "They are very accurate and help us with knowing what the pool needs."
• "You can spend a ton of money trying to measure pool chemicals. I have matched these strips to certified pool testing and they are spot on."
• "These strips seem to be accurate as I have checked them with my pool company digital analyzer."

Cons:

• "The first few times I ordered this product, it worked perfectly as described. The last two purchases the product has given extremely inaccurate results and have been a waste of money."
• "Free Chlorine tab does not give reliable reading."
• "Does not seem to register chlorine!!"
• "The pH reading is never even close to the Taylor pH results, and would have led me to treat a lot differently if I had relied on the strip result."
• "Compared to the standard '5 drop' wet test or a digital ORP meter the Chlorine test is unreadable or inaccurate or both."
• "The pH is coming in wrong compared to other test strips and the pool store test."
• "Does NOT read chemicals correctly, says I have no Chlorine when I have plenty."

Value

Pros:

• "If you test your water often, this is a great value. You pay the same price for 4 containers as you would for 2 separately."
• "Lots of test strips at a great price, keeps our hot tub water in good shape! Easy to read and gives you what you need to know within seconds."
• "These are accurate, and the price is almost a third of what I would have paid at Target for the Clorox strips."
• "I give these 5 stars because they work like they are supposed to and they are quite a bit cheaper than what we paying for them at the pool store!"
• "Best bang for your buck. We swear by these and they are so much cheaper than buying them at pool retailer."
• "Great value for this 4 pack! Have used this brand for years."
• "Main reason I bought them through Amazon is I saved about $3.00 for a bottle of 50 strips."
