Pool and Spa Rapid Bacteria Test by Watersafe, Detects Down to 1 Bacteria/μL, including E. coli, Salmonella and More, Pack of 10

Works fine.

Works just as described, but I went through 2 tests to get a result. the first strip was a dud. Ill keep testing monthly.

Product easy to use but you have to go online to figure out how to interpret the test

We had one incident of bacteria in our hot tub, even though we are diligent to properly treat the water. But after this one time and having grandchildren have a rash, we knew we needed to have a dependable product to test our water quality. So helpful to see results in minutes!

We (our pool committee) use this product as a back up to the pool management companies maintenance / chemical control. We do a test once a week. We found 1 week last summer that there was a bad imbalance in the chemicals because of this test....thus we closed the pool for a day to shock and treat the water. We started using this test because we had a large number of children in the neighborhood with swimmers ear and we were suspicious that the pool was not being maintained correctly. The technique for using this product is very specific. You MUST wash your hands and follow the directions carefully! Use a phone to time each step, etc. If you do, you will get accurate results. Whenever I get a positive (positive for bacteria) or blank result (erroneous) result I do a second test to be extra sure. Two positives is an automatic pool closing.

I’m a retired lab technician. I have a professional degree. I know how to run many lab tests. The instructions on this are straightforward. The instructions are clear. All necessary reagents and instruments are provided: a vial with reagent in the bottom and a sample pipette to deliver the correct amount of your sample water.But the tests do not work. I blew through half the box today, as my order arrived yesterday while I was working, and never even had a control line pop up. I quit because I was becoming frustrated.I ordered these tests because my kids all had swimmer’s ear, and the doctor wondered if it was from our pool or another body of water we have used recently. I still don’t know as I can’t get any tests to work!

One of the tube for collecting the water sample had. Agile in it making that whole test strip unusable. I have used four plus that one, not sure if any other test modules will have. A hole in the tube or not but not worth the return process. Just beware that out of the 10, you’ll have at least seven good ones maybe.

Gave us piece of mind regarding our spa water
