What kind of test strips should you use with this product? I'm a new hot tub owner, so my apologies if that's a silly question. :)

I use my test strips a while after I dump in the spa chemicals , say a few days. Everything seems to work fine though it is good to check periodically depending on the frequency of use, I guess.

Yes. The color of water tested will be compared to color chart. A lot more accurate than strips.

Hi DK, we have never tested on hot tub temperature measurement if we understand your questions correctly. Jacuzzi thermometer is a different type of thermometer. BlizeTec thermometer is most commonly used for food prep, cooking & bbq activities.

don't know why you would want to. drip testers our far more accurate, and so are test strips for spa and pools. and a lot cheaper.

It's not reAlly that easy. Pain in our booty actually so we tried each test once and haven't used it since. We have used some that you simply dip and then read. Much easier. This is add this amt of water then shake then one or two drops of that thn stir then more water then wait. No time for all that!! Each test may be less than five mins each once you get it down but all of them together are 20 min +. We like the dipstick tests better. Cost more but well worth it.

Not total sure, I know I have 3 different machine here at my plant - each one requires there own test strips. I know there was a couple different number of machines for this brand that take these strips.

No, you will need to buy test strips... I couldn't get Le Natural Spa to maintain ph, or keep algae from forming, and we had to revert to regular chemicals anyway. I would recommend going to a local spa dealer for chemicals and water balence advise.

If you are having regular OV days every month then I would suggest do not rely on this test kit...you should always cross check with another brand test strips...

I use Bayer's 7080G and 7099C test strips. Never had a problem with those. I don't know if that helps you out. If you really want to make sure call Bayer, they well help. My Meter is a 7184A. Just buy 50, then you won't get burned, if they don't work.

Yes, two different units and use different strips. The Next is the more recent unit. I've used both and they work well. I think the Next may use a slightly smaller sample.

These test strips are for chlorinated pools. Drinking water has a much lower chlorine level, even before filtering. I'd check something for use in an aquarium where the desired level of chlorine is zero

The test strips have terrible accuracy, mine read 1000ppm off from the Taylor test kit from amazon, taylor salt I think, very accurate and around $20. Good luck!

All my tests worked great!! I would recommend them to everyone!! Even my friend liked them. Since they are just the strips, it's very possible for someone to get it wet in the wrong place, not lay it flat, look at the results too soon, not test correctly, etc. If you feel these tests aren't working, then go buy ones at the store. I was just trying to help. Regardless of your profession, everyone can make mistakes and not be aware of it.

No. You would want the AquaChek Salt Test Strips. You can also search for the "Aquachek Salt System" which includes both the AquaChek Yellow and the AquaChek Salt Test Strips together.

We use this, as needed, along w/ chlorine and PH Rise (alkaline), as needed, and that's it. It might depend on where you live. We live in Ohio, as opposed to someone residing in Florida. I'm assuming that you use "test strips" 1x or 2x a week. This will give you the most accurate reading. If you're keeping your chlorine level relatively high along with the alkaline in balance and the PhosFree (as needed), you shouldn't need anything else. We don't. Hope this answers your questions! PS: My brother-in-law is a chemist, and he recommended that we use the PhosFree. It gives the pool a nice, clear, shinny look! It also helps the chlorine last longer!

No. The purpose of this product is to not have to use test strips. Simply out water in container and pour the liquid in to do various tests. Pretty easy to perform too

I always get a strip out, prick my finger with the lancet, then stick the strip in the meter. Just be sure to wait until the meter asks for a blood sample.
