A bit misleading September 23, 2011
Style Name:4-Way Test|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Labels must be misprinted December 5, 2011
By NOLAMOM
Style Name:4-Way Test|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Alkalinity and pH colors are not correct. If you look at any other brand, you will see that the Alkalinity colors are the green tint and the pH is the orange tint. My bottle obviously has a misprinted label because the colors are opposite. This obviously doesn't give you an accurate reading and if trying to fix the "problem" yourself then you are fixing the wrong problem. I was getting ready to treat my water for low pH and high Alk, but had my water tested at my pool center. Well....after their test I actually needed to treat low Alk and high pH. I'm sure there are others with the same mislabeled bottle, so heads-up!

Accurate Testing August 15, 2011
By Julie T
Style Name:3-Way Test|Amazon Verified Purchase
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. :)

I have never written a review before, however I felt an obligation to forewarn people on this one. This product does not do what it is supposed to. Read more

Works and I calibrated it against the pool store results. Close enough for me. More accurate than lower cost kits. Iy gives guidance on determining chlorimeand (spelling?)

Test kit pools/spa
The test kit works. It is not a test kit that is 100% accurate beacues you have to look at the colors to determine the amount of chemical in the water. Read more

Good Backup
These strips work well. However, if you (like us) take your water to be tested by a professional pool store, these strips aren't really necessary. Read more

Awesome for the money
This is a great kit for the money. I was at the local pool supply store, and the testing kit was $45. For $15 this kit works perfect. Read more

good product
It is well organized and chemicals have expire date on it. Pool maintenance-wise, it is too much for me as I use it for chlorine level only, but I may study up on other tests. Read more
