Frequently asked questions
What does AquaChek make?
AquaChek offers pool and spa test strips, salt strips, specialty strips and compatible digital readers.
Are salt strips the same as regular pool strips?
No. Salt titrator strips specifically measure sodium chloride and use a different scale.
What does an AquaChek multi-parameter strip test?
The exact panel varies and may include chlorine or bromine, pH, alkalinity, hardness and cyanuric acid.
How does the TruTest reader work?
It reads color pads on compatible AquaChek strips and displays numeric results.
Can any AquaChek strip be used in TruTest?
No. Use only the strip type specified for the reader.
How should strips be stored?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, dry and protected from heat, humidity and contamination.
Why might strip results differ from a liquid kit?
Timing, lighting, color resolution, strip age and test-method differences can cause variation.
When should a strip result be confirmed?
Confirm unexpected or treatment-critical results with a more precise method before making a large adjustment.
