Digital Testing?
« on: January 24, 2007, 09:17:31 pm »
Color blind, need to know if there is an digital test out there that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Has anyone used one that is correct?

Thanks in advance!

Doc mentioned a new digital test strip reader that he was considering selling a few months ago and wanted someone to test.  I believe Vinny volunteered.  Check rhtubs.com to see if he is carrying it.

Not yet available. I have it on back order, from I think, 4 different suppliers  ;D
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

If you want another "beta tester" when you finally receive them, I'd love to see how they work. :)

I use a LaMotte digital tester and it works great.  It's a lot more accurate than the test strips.  It's not that cheap, but I now feel a lot more confident in my water testing with these old eyes.  Here is a link

There are a lot of meters on that page.  Which one do you use?  Thanks

I use the PC-4A.  I have a bromine system.  The meter measures clorine, Alk & PH.  To get a true bromine reading, you get the total clorine reading and times that by 2.25.  Has worked great for the last 6 months.  I still have test strips left that I also use on occasion, but to be accurate I use the meter.

Thanks Bear, that price isnt that bad at all. I was looking online and saw all the $600 plus systems. How do you measure your TDS? I see that other meter at the bottom and wondered if you have that one as well.

Thanks again!!

Not Yet!  I'm a gaget FREAK!  If there is a gaget out there to do a job...I probably have it.  Have not had to worry about TDS as of yet.  The tub is at our weekend home, so it only gets limited use at the moment, but I have looked into it.  Good Luck!
