Not sure if I understand?

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

Not working:

404. That’s an error.

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.

For pH, ALK, and CH, any of those work.

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

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.

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.

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.
