I saw some test strips online and thought that would make testing water easer. Anyone out there use them how well do they work?

Thanks Rick

I used to use them. They are profoundly unreliable. they would show different values for the same water., if they are brand new, they kinda work, and if they are exspired they dont work at all. Best to use something else.

I'd just use the test tube with the drip kit. The test strips don't work at all in my opinion

I have been out of the hobbie for 10-12 years and there seems to be alot of new gear, but I was really skeptical when I saw them.
