Frequently Asked Questions
 |
Q: Do test strips really work? |
| A: Yes. Test strips were developed in the
medical diagnostic industry in the 1960's. Since that time, they have
replaced liquid reagent tests for urine and blood testing. AquaChek Test
Strips use that same technology. |
|
| Q: How accurate are they? | |
| A: Test strips are at minimum comparable
in accuracy to liquid color comparator tests. Because AquaChek test
strips are more convenient, we believe they actually deliver greater
accuracy. They reduce the chances of human error associated with liquid
kits, which require measuring samples and counting drops of reagent.
|
|
| Q: What information supports the accuracy of test strips? | |
| A: AquaChek test strips are manufactured
and released against standard reference procedures from the 17th
Edition of Standard Methods For the Examination of Water and Waste Water.
|
|
| Q: Is DPD more accurate? | |
| A: The DPD test for chlorine can be
affected by interferences, such as an over-abundance of monochloramines
or potassium monopersulfate (used for shock-treating pools). These can
give a false positive reading for free chlorine with the DPD chemistry.
Recognized technical studies are available to support these claims. In
addition, the DPD test requires careful technique and several steps to
get the best test. |
|
| Q: What is the shelf life? | |
| A: We will ship product from our
warehouse with no less than 12 months shelf life (less for AquaChek Silver
and AquaChek Green). Test strips have at least 24 months dating
from the time of manufacture. |
|
| Q: Can more values for each test be added to color charts? | |
| A: There would not be enough color
differentiation between the values. This would make it difficult for the
user to make a decision when comparing the test strip to the color
patches on the label. |
|
| Q: What is the difference between AquaChek and the other pool and spa test strips available on the market? | |
| A: AquaChek is the top-selling brand of
pool and spa test strips in the world. AquaChek test strips undergo
stringent release qualification. Constant monitoring of the
manufacturing process ensures that the finest test strips are available
for your use. |
|
| Q: Do I need to test as frequently with test strips? | |
| A: Yes. We suggest testing both ends of
the pool a minimum of 2 times per week, and spas before each use.
|
|
| Q: Can test strips be used after the expiration date? | |
| A: No. Test strips should be discarded
when the expiration date on the bottle label is reached. This ensures
the user they are getting reliable results. |
|
| Q: Are test strips less accurate after the expiration date? | |
| A: If the test strips are handled and stored properly, they should give reliable results through the expiration date on the bottle label. It is impossible to determine how reliable the results will be after the expiration date has passed. |
