If you are using @Ease, I do recommend using their test strips. Because the amount of chlorine is so darn low in the @ease system, I find many other types of test strips don't pick up the chlorine reading.

If for pH, I'm sure you can use pretty much whatever you want

Post by: The Wizard of Spas on May 01, 2018, 05:46:52 pm: Are you asking: When you bought @ease, what were the strips that came with it, and if you have since used different test strips, what do you use now?

If that is indeed the case- I'd stay on the @ease strips until you perfectly understand A) @ease and B) what a different, generic test strip will be asking for and how that may not necessarily translate to your sanitation system.

A generic test strip will tell you that your TOTAL CHLORINE is galactically high if you use them in an @ease body of water. If you understand that indeed the level is okay, and *why* it is okay, then buying generic is fine. If you also understand why the FREE CHLORINE is ridiculously low, then you're fine too. If these are questions that you do not understand the *why* behind them, I'd stick with @ease test strips.

Post by: d00nut on May 03, 2018, 09:09:53 pm: For pH, ALK, and CH, any of those work.

For the chlorine, I would stick with the @Ease strips. Just easier

Post by: guardrail22 on May 04, 2018, 01:57:12 pm: Three different @ease strips.

Trying to find the one with green lid

Post by: Sam on May 04, 2018, 02:18:30 pm: Only one of those is actually for @ease. Frog offers multiple water treatment systems. Only the ones that say "@ease" are for that program. The blue bottle is a totally different company. The one with the green lid is for a different program. In the end, it doesn't really matter. They will all work. It's just that as stated above, smartchlor is a low level and some strips have trouble reading that low.

Post by: guardrail22 on May 07, 2018, 03:53:23 pm: the issue with the one marked @ease is it just has a square on it that tells you everything is fine if you match that color.

the one with the green cap bottle is free, total, ph and total alk.
Title: Re: @ease test strips
Post by: Sam on May 09, 2018, 01:45:16 pm: They all test ph and total alk. You don't need to worry about free/total with @ease. Smartchlor self-regulates as long as ph is in line.
