1.0 out of 5 stars
new strips indicate too low, November 29, 2009
This review is from: PHion Balance Diagnostic Ph Test Strips, 4.5 - 9.0 ph Range, 90-Count (Health and Beauty)
I have purchased their previous product, the two-colour pHion strips, for years and have sent many people to their website to purchase them, even if one of the colors had to be ignored to get the proper reading. (This may be why they changed to this single-color version.) However, I still have some of the two-color strips and test strips from another manufacturer that are consistent between their readings. These "NEW pHion Test Stix" have proved to be useless. They consistently indicate a very low pH, at least 2 points lower than both of the other strips, and their sensitivity is extremely poor. (I had purchased 10 bottles through their website and will be sending 9 back.) A low reading serves to promote their other products; this is unethical if it produces erroneously low results.

Does not work with water, November 14, 2009
This review is from: PHion Balance Diagnostic Ph Test Strips, 4.5 - 9.0 ph Range, 90-Count (Health and Beauty)
These strips do not work with water or any other non-ionized solution. See the PhIon FAQ on their site which says, "These strips do NOT test against water or chemicals. They need to be tested against high ionized solutions. Water is not a high ionized solution and other chemicals may dilute the strip to be unreadable."
They do work with urine or saliva, but you cannot test them using water or other solutions.
The product information on this should be updated to clarify this issue. There are several negative reviews where people think the strips do not work because there is no warning in the product information that the strips cannot be tested with water or similar solutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
strips work well ( pa ), June 17, 2008
This review is from: PHion Balance Diagnostic Ph Test Strips, 4.5 - 9.0 ph Range, 90-Count (Health and Beauty)
i purchased this item after receiving an alarming result of my dog's urine analysis..professional lab result, & $50.00, showed a ph of 8.5..
i immediately ordered these strips, first thing the morning after receiving the strips, tested urine was 6.5.....
every morning result was the same 6.5...
two subsequent diagnostic lab tests in the weeks that followed, with no treatment to cure an elevated ph, showed a ph of 6.5 exactly what these strips had told me.....
if you need to check your ph, these strips really work.
