EASYTEST 150 Hot Tub Test Strips for pH

This compact test strip kit is designed to simplify routine checks of pool and spa water chemistry, offering fast results for pH, total alkalinity and free chlorine or bromine. Easy to use and supplied in a bulk pack of 150 strips, it is aimed at homeowners who want a straightforward way to monitor bathing water and reduce guesswork when adjusting chemicals.

Key Points

The kit contains 150 individually scored test strips, which the manufacturer indicates is enough for regular checks over an extended period. Testing takes seconds and results are visible after holding the strip horizontally for 15 seconds and matching the colours to the bottle chart. According to the manufacturer, the strips use high-quality fibre paper and specially treated pads to limit bleeding and improve accuracy. Practical storage guidance is provided, with a two year shelf life from manufacture and a recommendation to use opened strips within 90 days.

Technical Specifications

• Name: EASYTEST Hot Tub Test Strips 150
• Tests: pH, Total Alkalinity, Free Chlorine and Bromine
• Number of strips: 150
• Reading time: 15 seconds after dipping
• Shelf life: 2 years from manufacture, use within 90 days once opened

Usage Recommendations

Dip the strip in water for one second and remove it immediately. Hold the strip horizontally for the full 15 seconds before comparing the pad colours to the reference chart on the bottle. For best accuracy read the results in natural daylight and avoid touching the reagent pads with wet or dirty fingers. Store the container in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to reduce exposure to moisture and air.

Positive Aspects

The large quantity of strips in this pack means fewer purchases over a season and lower cost per test compared with single-strip smaller packs. The combined multi-parameter format reduces the number of separate tests needed, making routine maintenance quicker and more convenient. For users who alternate between chlorine and bromine sanitisation, having both readings on the same strip can be particularly useful. Consider that, as with most colourimetric strips, very precise laboratory-grade measurements may require electronic testing equipment, and severe chemical imbalances should be checked with more detailed methods.
