2.0 out of 5 stars A bit misleading, September 23, 2011

This review is from: Kem-Tek 430-6 4-Way Test Strips Pool and Spa Accessories (Lawn & Patio)

Since these were called "4-Way" test strips, I assumed the following FOUR items were tested:

pH

Free chlorine

Total alkalinity

Cyanuric acid

Actually, this only tests THREE things. Cyanuric acid is NOT included:

pH

Chlorine/Bromine

Total alkalinity

This was partially my fault because I didn't thoroughly read the product details AND I was relying on my memory of my AquaCheck bottle. However, I still feel the name is misleading because "Chlorine/Bromine" is ONE line item, not two (therefore making this a THREE way test in my mind!). In addition, I would like to know my cyanuric acid level.

3.0 out of 5 stars Accurate Testing, August 15, 2011

This test kit provides accurate testing, however the color bar, came loose on the chlorine side and got lost, luckily it is just shades of yellow and you can pretty much just guess if it is good or bad. :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Colors show that aren't on the chart, August 7, 2011

By 

Gabby (Denton Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kem-Tek 430-6 4-Way Test Strips Pool and Spa Accessories (Lawn & Patio)

We have colors showing up that aren't on the chart. As well, searching online to learn how to diagnose this dilemma is futile. The company has not website and doesn't offer how to rectify balancing the water with unusual colors. I won't purchase this product again and am stuck with a new bottle of these things.
