130 customers mention104 positive26 negative

Customers find the product easy to use. They mention that the instructions are clear, and the product is simple to read. Some say that the product uses LEDs to read the water chemistry (chlorine/bromine, pH, total alkalinity) without their assistance.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the product. Some mention it works well, while others say it doesn't operate as designed and is completely useless.

"...the idea of a digital pool water tester but this one just is not ready for reliable use. 2 different tests back to back gave different results...." Read more

"But this product works great once you get used to it. Manufacturer provides videos for instruction...." Read more

"...it is a VERY noticeable difference, so I’d guess I got either a poorly made or poorly handled set of strips with the reader...." Read more

86 customers mention40 positive46 negative

Customers are mixed about the readability of the product. Some mention that it provides a clear readout of the chemical levels in the pool, and provides accurate readings. However, others say that the readings are not the same, hard to read, and always errors out.

"Everything was great until 2 weeks ago. Now, I can’t read the numbers. It starts fine and looks fine until it does its final display...." Read more

303 customers mention70 positive233 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the accuracy of the pool water test kit. They mention that it gives very different readings than the color-coded Aqua Check manual strips. The testing results resulted in huge swings in readings, even when taking samples an hour apart. The ph and chlorine readings vary too much for them to be useful, and the total alkalinity reading can vary greatly from one day to the next.

"...This device does not come close to being accurate enough for me to ever possibly consider using it to maintain my pool or spa water chemistry...." Read more

"...The only issue I have found is that my total alkalinity reading can vary greatly from one day to the next...." Read more

"...I felt I gave the Aqua Chek a fair shake. Certainly not scientifically rigorous, but I believe I was consistent in my approach and was comparing..." Read more

"...instructions carefully as mentioned by other reviewers, it’s a very accurate machine...." Read more

77 customers mention17 positive60 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the product. For example, they mention it's an expensive investment and a waste of money. Some say the product is not accurate enough for the money spent. That said, some are happy with the digital reader and the required specialized test strips.

"...The little boat paddle looking swab, File 13. It's worthless!Do not use tap water to swab the test channel, tap water has chlorine...." Read more

"...The tester is a bit pricey but it is easy to use, accurate (I compared it with a test kit), and stores the readings so you can spot a trend...." Read more

"...What a shame. I am really disappointed. Waste of money!!" Read more

"This AquaChek device works decently for the price point. Like others wrote, it takes some practice to get it right...." Read more

11 customers mention0 positive11 negative

Customers find the variability of the product too much to be of reliable use. They say the readings vary quite a lot from multiple samples, and it never gives the same result twice. They also mention that the product is cumbersome to use and sometimes skips a reading. Customers also mention the values returned vary greatly from minute to minute, and there are wild variations for pH, alkalinity, and free chlorine.

"...with the AquaChek I got completely different readings with wild variations for pH, alkalinity, and free chlorine...." Read more

"...of 5% or so in any of the readings, but this is too much variation to be of reliable use...." Read more

"...better than trying to define shades of yellow and red, but it is not as repeatable as the DP test where you count drops until a color change...." Read more

"...Values returned vary greatly from minute to minute and I have turned to averaging several results (each with a new strip) to take readings...." Read more

It worked great for a month

It worked great for a month
Everything was great until 2 weeks ago. Now, I can’t read the numbers. It starts fine and looks fine until it does its final display. Then it looks as pictured. I know the hi/lo, but kinda need numbers to determine how much to put it for chemistry. Makes it look like my alk is 700+?
