Pool Water Tester – pH and Chlorine Readings with a Probe

Pool Water Tester – No more strips to run out of

A handheld tester that reads pH and chlorine from a probe on a flexible lead: hold the probe in the water, select the reading, and take it off a colour-marked scale. Nothing gets used up, so the same unit sees you through the whole season.

Why choose a reusable tester?

Test strips are cheap until you are testing twice a week all summer, and they always run out on the day the water goes cloudy. A probe-based tester costs once. The colour-marked scale also makes the reading easier to interpret than matching a damp strip against a printed chart in bright sun.

• Two readings – pH and chlorine from a single handheld unit.
• No consumables – nothing to reorder, nothing to run out of mid-season.
• Colour-marked scale – the target range is marked, so a reading is easy to place.
• Probe on a flexible lead – test from the poolside without kneeling over the edge.
• Pool and hot tub – works for both, indoors and out.

One purchase instead of a box of strips every month.

Take readings from elbow depth in the middle of the pool rather than at the surface or beside the return jet — both give misleading numbers. Rinse the probe with clean water after every use and store it dry. Runs on a single AA battery.
