Understand Your
Test Strip Results
Dip your strip, tap each glowing pad to match your colour reading, and we'll tell you what's in your water and what to do about it.
How to read the strip correctly
Small errors in technique can affect accuracy. Follow these steps.
Fill a glass of water, dip the strip in for 2 seconds, remove.
Read most pads at 15 seconds.
Read Nitrate and Nitrite pads at 60 seconds.
Do not read after 3 minutes. Colours change and give false readings.
Match your Colour Readings
Work top to bottom — the glowing pad is your next reading. Pads marked Pool/Spa won't appear in your drinking water report but are still worth recording.
