Pool and Hot Tub Water Test Strips aka Dip Sticks!

It is very important to know what is going on with the water chemistry in your swimming pool or hot tub. How can you tell if you have enough chlorine in the water to kill off the nasty bugs and algae, but not so much that you end up with stinging red eyes and bleached white swimming costumes? The very simple solution is to use pool water test strips, sometimes referred to as 'dip sticks' or often in the shop as 'err I'm sure there was something else I needed to get...'

Happily our test strips are very inexpensive at just £4.99 for 25x 2 in 1 chlorine and pH test strips, or just £8.50 for 50x Aquachek 4 in 1 test strips (chlorine, pH, total alkalinity and stabiliser). Plus we have shot a 'how to test your pool water' video which you can see on you tube or on the Aquachek link above. It's very straightforward when you know how, but if you're not sure, please feel free to contact us for guidance.
