General Tips for Using Beachcomber Test Strips

• After the test strip has changed colour it will provide the most accurate comparison within the first 15 seconds after which the colours can shift into a false reading.
• If the edges of the pad look a different colour than the middle, use the middle of the pad for the most accurate reading.
• Test strips should always be stored inside or in cool and dry environment.
• If you’re unsure about comparing colours use the free Beachcomber H2OCHK app from your phone

Tips for Hot Tub Owners

• It is ideal to submerge your test strip close to the center of the hot tub for the most accurate reading.
• For testing in the winter you can collect a water sample with a glass or bowl and perform the test in your house.

Tips for Pool Owners

• It is ideal to submerge your test strip around the skimmer area of the pool for the most accurate reading.
